[quote=Anonymous]Oddly enough... now that I'm working from home... I find that i can actually meal prep during the day and cook pretty involved meals during the week. 
Yesterday I braised a chicken, starting at lunch time I cut up a whole chicken into small pieces, chopped tomato, pepper, garlic, onion, ginger and set it to marinate. At 5 I started it on the stove. While it was stewing I did some limited weights exercises. Sometimes if I'm not cooking the main (and like reheating frozen beer battered cod from Costco or whatever), I can just use the 5-6pm hour to do veggies and sides. Sometimes I even start cooking at lunch time if it's like a beef soup or something that needs a few hours. Or if I have a longer lunch break can even make the pasta sauce at lunch and then work longer into the event and just boil noodles at 6. 
I'm doing this mostly M-Th and then Fri and Sat are takeout/no cleanup, Sun sometimes husband cooks. For lunch at home either make a quick salad with canned fish and/or leftovers. 
I have a desk job that can be stressful but is mostly limited to 8-5. This type of full on cooking I used to do only on the weekends pre-covid, but now am able to make it part of the daily routine because of working from home. But then the weekends are flipped, focusing more on longer workouts or cleaning the house or outdoors excursions and very little cooking.   [/quote]
