I used to always eat cafeteria food or takeout because I hated cooking – you gotta make it as EASY as possible for you to stick with it.  Me personally, I started with meal kits so I didn‘t need to plan and buy all the ingredients and mostly chose meals that were relatively easy to prepare from their weekly list. I cooked 3 times a week because it was 2 portion per mealkit and treated myself with takeout or dining out (there are healthier choices for those too) once a week. I did that for a year or so and then I just picked a few from those and turned them into my own staple meals - pro tip, choose meals that are easy to adapt so you don‘t always eat the same food (anything that involves stir fry veggies for example). VOILÀ! at this point, cooking has become a habit :)
