Every stage of life has its own things to do and distances that can be calculated.
From "What do I eat" to "What do we eat"
It's not "I can't cook," it's "I need to meet the different tastes and nutritional needs of three people in an hour."
Verification Signals (count two or more to be considered):
· Family meals together less than 3 times a week
· Children's and adult meals are completely separate (time doubles)
· Obvious fatigue or conflict due to cooking
Plan a week's worth of dishes at once
Children and adults eat from the same pot
Cooking time is controlled within 40 minutes
Definition
Number of family meals per week · Preparation time for one meal · Number of days the whole family meets the vegetable standard
How to measure
Record for a week: how many meals are eaten together, how long it takes to prepare one meal, and how many days the whole family eats vegetables
Healthy Range
Family meals ≥ 5 times/week · Preparation time ≤ 40 minutes · Whole family vegetables ≥ 5 days/week
Make a separate set for the child —— Doubles the time, children are more difficult to accept adult food
Strive for "different every day" —— This is the biggest time sink
Buy a week's worth of vegetables at once —— Leafy vegetables go bad in two days
Let the elderly take full responsibility —— Taste and nutritional standards will be out of control
Use "nutrition" to persuade the family —— "Tasty and convenient" is more effective
Set one week 5 main dishes, use in rotation
Make "one pot for two": serve the adult portion first, then add less salt and oil for the child
Spend 1 hour on basic processing (washing, cutting, packaging) on weekends
Set a fixed day for the whole family to cook together, let the child participate
Change "What do we eat today" to a weekly decision
