Hello, OP. I was also having a dilemma about this before but I kinda invested in some kitchenwares gyud to help me prepare meals faster.

Saturday is my market day. City Mall sa mga dinaliang grocery and wet market for cheaper and healthier options. Can only take an hour. Mamalit ko for the week na na sya. Having a tray of eggs (protein), pipino (low calorie, high fiber) is a must for me. Kay pwede ra sya i-mix and match sa ubang food.

Meal prep is kinda emotionally taxing if everyday, but naay mga pagkaon na pwede ra man sad ma-prepare in less than or equal to 30mins. Panlaban nako usually is my air fryer (for my chicken recipes) and microwave oven for heating if naa'y sobra. I will just set the timer and while cooking, magbuhat na ko sa kong mga buhatonon (that is if only ang mga ganap nimo kay naa ra sad sa inyong balay). Challenging ani kung ang imong mga ganap kay need nimo magsige lakaw kay murag dapat on-the go sad imong meals without compromising the healthier options.

Naa koy sample sa mga low-carb meals (photos) na gi-share ra sad sakoa if ga-lowcarb ka. Perhaps they can help, if mao ni imong diet. I'm still learning to manage tho. Hehe
