Does anyone struggle with cooking?
I’ve been trying to lose a bit of weight and thought that cooking fresh meals instead of having microwave/ready made meals would be better for me - but when it comes to cooking I really struggle to follow instructions and when I do and come to eat the food it’s not very nice.
For example, I was recently using one of those “Maggi cook in a bag” and it asks for 100ml of water for a meal that they say serves 4 but as it was just me eating the meal I would (after being told/snapped at by my mum) need to quarter it - i didn’t realise this and it has since meant having to cool more food.
The best way to describe it is that my brain likes to read and re-read the instructions but when it comes to doing them, I completely forget/don’t realise I’m doing it wrong - I do have dyslexia too so maybe it could be just that?
I’m still yet to be diagnosed but wondered if this was something other people experienced.
i cook until black loljust stick something in the grill and wait until its nice and black so that i can be sure i wont get food poisoning.but as for losing weight, i dunno i rather take the excercise route... go out for walks, pump weights. you know if you build muscle, which kinda builds weight, it burns fat anyway even when your doing nothing. so muscle is a investment that keeps on burning fat even when your resting, a engine, of which fat is its fuel and it is a very hungry engine. i wouldnt be too focused on the weight number, as muscle is heavier than fat, but rather be more focused on getting rid of fat and gaining tone and muscle.i dont even bother with gyms too, too expensive, you dont get your moneys worth especially when you can buy weights for like £20 or £40 worth and then you have all you need to maintain yourself forever without the awkward interaction of a gym and the expense of paying them hundreds of thousands over a lifetime.
