Update on Soylent Bar

OK, those are good tips. Batch and freeze makes a ton of sense, though I'm not sure my freezer is up to it, and I do like the timer function on my rice cooker and instant pot (and also like rice, oatmeal, etc.)

I just wish I could actually find a decent and specific "sandwiches, salads, and crock pot" type 7-day (or even 1-day) meal plan out there that covered all the bases for times when I haven't done prep work. I'm a little lost as to how to combine the ingredients effectively--I know the concepts of nutrition, of course, but not the intersection of those and what practically works.

I see what you mean, and I'd just urge you to do some reading on it online when you get the chance. Some ideas of what that might look like:

Edit: My best advice is to think about what you have to work with in terms of appliances and such, and google search for recipes using them, along with things like "For a month" and that kind of thing. So much of this is down to personal taste; I mean if you don't like black beans, no amount of recipes for them will help you out.
