How about fixing things that don't take so much time and effort?  The last
time I spent 2 to 3 hours fixing a meal was Thanksgiving.  Simplify!

Sausage and scrambled eggs for breakfast: 6 minutes tops!  With wiping out  
the
skillet, make that 7.

Lunch: burger patties, lettuce, carrot.  10 minutes plus 5 for cleanup.

Dinner: pork chops, cooked green beans, fresh apples.  10 minutes plus 5  
for cleanup.

Sometimes, do a crockpot meal.  3 minutes in the morning to put the meat,  
onion, and chili powder into the pot, with water.  Presto.  Dish up for  
dinner, appropriate vegetables,
put the rest in the frig for later.  Another 3 minutes to clean the  
crockpot.

I don't think that plan sounds good for your health.  Trying eating simpler
meals with fewer ingredients. Some on this list eat exactly one food per  
meal, as
much as they want, making sure that they cover the bases with their three  
meals a day.
How long to fix blueberries?  How long to fix steak?  How long to fix  
green beans?
