I tried Soylent last year for about 3 weeks for every meal. I know thats crazy but I was very curious to experiment and see if it was possible. I had no problem with the taste, but by the end I was losing weight and had caught a cold so I ended the experiment.<p>I went a few months doing cereal for breakfast and ordering lunch&#x2F;dinner from seamless.com but recently I have been trying to eat healthier and cheaper. Currently I am ordering pre-made meals from freshdirect.com which has a great selection, the food tastes great and preparing is as simple as 4 mins in the microwave. Unfortunately I am still suffering from insufficient calories (I&#x27;m a 29yo 5&#x27;11 160lbs ectomorph). I think if the portions were 10-15% larger I would be content but right now at $10 a meal I&#x27;m not satisfied.<p>So my question is does anyone have any suggestions for cheap, great tasting, easily prepared food? I guess a competitor to freshdirect with larger portions is what I am asking for.. but curious to hear what HN does.
Ask HN: Preparing food is a chore. Any suggestions?
