“I hate my job” meal prep for low energy weeks
Here are 4 examples of meals for days you just don’t feel like having a fancy lunch or dinner at or after work. They’re super easy and take less than ten minutes. I highly recommend the ramen. I get tangles because it’s 15g of protein and takes five minutes to make!
When you're stuck in a low energy week, especially when you dread going to work, having go-to meal prep options can be a lifesaver. I've personally found that simplicity is key when motivation is low. For example, ramen packs are a fantastic choice since they offer about 15 grams of protein and only take around five minutes to prepare. Pairing them with microwave potstickers makes for a quick, satisfying meal without much effort. Another great option is rotisserie chicken combined with hummus and crackers. This combo requires no cooking and provides a balanced mix of protein and carbs to keep energy levels stable. Pre-made breakfast burritos also come in handy for busy mornings or when you don't feel like putting much thought into lunch or dinner. They are filling and can be easily reheated. One more tip I've learned is to include snacks like corn tortilla chips made with avocado oil alongside something like a lime tuna salad. The healthy fats and protein will help keep you fueled. These easy meals have helped me push through low energy spells without resorting to unhealthy fast food. Keeping these ingredients stocked in the kitchen lets me focus on work, not cooking complicated dishes, especially when I "hate my job" days show up.
