    This right here.

    You only need the ability to make 5 or 6 different meals. Here’s some simple rules.

    A meal is 3 things:

    • a serving of protein
    • a serving of starch
    • a serving of vegetables

    How big is a serving?

    • About the size of your fist

    If you have 5 or 6 different proteins you know how to cook, you can mix it up with the 5 or 6 starches, and 5 or 6 vegetables. Grocery shopping is easy too. Buy larger quantities of just the ingredients for your 5 or 6 meals. Stock up when certain ingredients are on sale.

    There, you’ve got your basic nutrition covered. Mix in other meal ideas as you go. Welcome to adulting.
