how do you plan your meals for the week? im young and dont have a lot of money but enough i could plan some form of home cooked breakfasts and dinners (my restaurant feeds me lunch). Im just venturing out into cooking i dont have enough recipes memorized to be able to just stroll up in a store and plan a weeks worth of grocery shopping and meals that will use up all my different ingredients and use the same ingredients and multiple to be cost efficient.

pic is oc from the last cooking job and first cooking job ive ever had. ran the entire scratch meal service for a very small fancy old folks home. i enjoyed the freedom to plate however i wanted but it wasnt preparing me for a real kitchen whatsoever, only cooked for like 20 people a meal and it was only boomer food

I eat the exact same thing every single day for months at a time till I get bored.

If you want a standard meal, carb + meat + vegetable. If you want to eat healthily, meat + lots of vegetables. Chicken, broccoli, and rice is a classic and you can season them in a wide variety of ways. I also used to keep a box of pasta, frozen meatballs, and a jar of pasta sauce around just in case the food situation becomes dire.

This. Occasionally I'll mix it up if I feel like it, but 90% of the time I just eat the same shit.

I don't plan shit, I just go and grab whatever fast food sounds nice at the time.
