I've found meal prepping to be a fantastic solution. I can make 5 meals in about an hour with my 4 burner stove. These meals are cheap, help me eat a lot of vegetables, and allow me to easily hit my macronutrient goals for strength training.

It's definitely better to batch stuff, but even then, an hour of your time is probably worth a lot more than the equivalent of buying those 5 meals already made.
Not to mention, I assume the one hour doesn't include time to clean up, which for me is one of the biggest drawbacks of cooking.

They say that money can't buy happiness. That may be true, but it can buy a dishwasher, which is much the same thing. Easily one of the best material purchases I've ever made.
I only mention this because I only realized this after I purchased the dishwasher. And so I spend time researching and "optimizing" in hopes of finding the next dishwasher in my life, which is how one falls into the trap this article describes.
Yeah, meal prepping is something I've kind of wanted to look into but from what I've seen it only works for half a week and I still need good recipes for it. Not to mention that it kills my Sunday, which I take issues with.
