Okay maybe this isnt the best demographics here but like I mean as in if you know someone who’s Gen Z, do they have a “idk how to cook” issue?
(Please don’t be like “omg its easy, how could you not know” in the comments, be nice in the comments okay 🙈)
im a gen z with insane executive dysfunction thanks to adhd. for a while when I was living on my own, yes I was living on microwave meals. they’re really cheap to get a bunch where I live and they have some variety, and I grew up on them due to my parents not really cooking often and being a latch key kid so they were a little nostalgic. but once I realized I never felt full after eating one and making some more money I started meal prepping for the whole week. i know how to cook and I can make some banger meals but my main problem is cleaning up everything afterwards. I’m learning to enjoy cooking and i always try to make a meal for any guest I have over.
Sorry for the nitpick, but I think it’s important to mention: you shouldn’t be aiming to be full after every meal. You should aim to be satiated instead. If you try to feel full after every meal, your stomach will stretch out over the years and you’ll eat more and more food to compensate, which can lead to getting fat.
This is already an issue for people that get gastric bypass surgery. Oftentimes their stomach ends up stretching back out to it’s size before the surgery and they start gaining weight again.
oh, I guess when I say “full” it has the same meaning as being satiated.
