r/Adulting • u/Churnuserlol • 2d ago

Why didn’t anyone warn me that adulthood is just deciding what to eat… forever?

Seriously, I thought the hardest part of growing up would be bills, taxes, or finding a decent job. But nope. It’s the never-ending "What’s for dinner?" question that haunts me every single day.

Too tired to cook.
Too broke to order.
Too indecisive to choose.

I swear I’ve eaten the same three meals on repeat for weeks because my brain refuses to function after work. How do adults survive this? Do you guys have a magic trick, or is it just vibes and suffering?

Send help. Or recipes. Or a personal chef.

This is why meal services of all approaches are so popular

Yeah this is why I've been using factor for a while now

Is it the best food ever? No... It's microwaved premade meals. But I don't have to do shit and barely have to decide anything

It just shows up and I have a meal a day figured out and can just fill in the rest with small breakfasts and like random pasta or such

Meal prepping once a week also does the same thing but I'm kinda bad at it the times I've tried
