>Do you know how much spinach or broccoli I could eat to equal 100 calories?
Well then, skip the chicken breast and eat 437 calories of spinach and broccoli if it's just about fullness-to-calories ratio. 100g/130g/66g of carb/prot/fat is still only about 1500 kcals. Ladling a 1/4 c of chicken gravy (33 kcal) from fond isn't going to kill you. 100g of carbs is about 1/3 of a box of spaghetti, you could even eschew some starchy simple carbs for a little bit of flavor.

>"and I was always cooking amazing food"
Chicken in perhaps some *gasp* butter? Wow! Amazing! I doubt you were making anything good if something as basic as elementary sauces are "bullshit" to you.

>but at this point in my life I prefer eating perfect and quickly
Quickly? Sure. Perfect? Well, it's better than most, but the wide variety of "diets" in fitness community with similar results shows there is no one optimal way of eating, except perhaps for high-performance athletes.

>so that I can focus my efforts elsewhere
You probably get annoyed when normies think that being fit means spending all your free time at the gym. I don't spend all or even most of my free time cooking, either. Did you know it was possible to work out, cook, AND have some other self-improvement hobbies? Assuming that your gained free time is spent productively, of course, and not on watching TV or reading bullshit T-Nation articles.

>doesn't mean you have to pretend it's difficult
I wasn't saying those basic skills were difficult. They are in fact not difficult, and despite that, most fitness people don't even bother because apparently mincing garlic is a slippery slope to hardened arteries and drowning all your food in butter. Besides, cooking is what the woman is for, right?
