What is your go-to ‘I have exactly 5 minutes and zero energy to cook’ meal that still keeps you on track?
Typically leftovers are a great option, but let’s imagine, you walk in on a Wednesday afternoon with a blank slate - what do you go with?
(If it takes longer than five minutes that’s okay, just means you’re heroic under pressure 
)
I have frozen broth cubes I can microwave and add salt, or I microwave an egg and maybe toss some cheese on it. 
I put in my first order to a local farm to pick up eggs on Thursday. I’m really excited…unless they taste like fish. I live in an area where they fish Salmon, Halibut, Rock Fish, Sturgeon (sport fishing only) and they crab and dig clams. Sometimes scraps are fed to hens and the eggs are incredibly fishy tasting. But - with any luck, they’ll be decent! I also ordered a half dozen duck eggs to try.
I do tuna with mayo, melt mozzarella slices in the oven for just a few minutes, put the tuna on top & fold mozzarella over, bake for a few more minutes, I have it with salad… slightly longer than 5 minutes, but probably only 10!
But having read about you not liking fishy tasting eggs, maybe you don’t like tuna, so you could put ham or pepperoni etc instead!
Chuck steak from the freezer. Or really any cut I can sear and eat. I thaw streak about half in the microwave, salt, and use the mechanical tenderizer to work the salt in while the sizzle platter heats up (oven, air fryer or grill).
This tenderizes a tougher cut and finishes the thaw. When the sizzle platter is rocking hot, I put the steak on. 2-3 minutes per side. Let the steak sit on the cutting board a couple of minutes, slice across the grain and plate up. Since I’m high fat I can adjust my lean to fat ratio by taking hubby’s fat and everyone gets their preferred doneness.
My other go to is cooked from frozen ground beef patties. Aldi’s Smashed Burger patties or ones from my butcher.
Protein shake and a handful of nuts. Takes about 30 seconds and gets the job done when I have absolutely no motivation to cook.
We do have fresh Tuna locally and it’s amazing. It’s white and sweet, kinda like chicken cooked up - that firm white texture. (Battered and fried is best - but now I’m forgoing the batter! haha)
The local tribe had some smoked Salmon at an event a couple of weeks ago and it was mind blowing. It was so delicious. I’ve had commercial smoke salmon and I couldn’t eat it, thought it tasted of chemicals and fishiness. So I guess it depends on the fish and the prep.
In grade school we were taught that people who really taste “fishy” it’s genetic, and some people don’t get that strong funk flavor. But being that was back in 1984, and my Oklahoma grade school education has proven to be unreliable, haha, I don’t know if that’s true. 
I could never eat seaweed or sea vegetables either.
I wonder if it’s like cilantro, where some people taste soap, but many people (like me) do not?
I usually cook a lot of meat, so I just have leftovers. For instance, leg of lamb tonight. We cooked a relatively large leg for only my wife and me.
I will also eat liverwurst and cheese with mustard, though this is more as additional food rather than a meal.
I have a modified ‘egg nog’. Blend 4-6 eggs, 1/2 to 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 c or more ice, sweetener and flavoring. I have a sugar free Torani flavoring, but anything will work. Raspberry is my current favorite. Blend for 30 seconds. Presto!
You can add things like avocado or kale without changing the flavor much.
Eggs, of course, it takes about 1 minute? Never checked but it should be enough for a soft scrambled eggs or sunny side up on my induction cooker. I could eat an egg or 2 or 3 raw anyway, without doing anything bad to my biotin, at that.
Well if I am hungry, 3 eggs just make me hungrier (though nowadays my satiation is easier. still, I probably still need 10? still a tiny meal but may be enough for 1-2-3 hours. BUT I never ever ever ever could eat 10 eggs made in the same in one sitting, I get bored) even with a generous amount sour cream and cheese on top but if I have some sausages, that can be fine.
I have cottage cheese too now, I will try it mixed with eggs, it must be a big thing according to the Internet…
If it can be keto, I only have a single idea: cake. But I never want cake when hungry. So it’s for the times when I am satiated but want to eat something? But then I get hungry and need to cook something else… Whatever. 5 minutes keto food, cake. I probably can do it in 1.5 minutes in a pinch, only my tiniest, special one though (one yolk and 10g gound walnut as the base, super tasty).
I can’t think of anything else, I like cooking and did a proper lengthier one even when I went home after overwork at 10pm (it was simple but took time).
If I had very special meat that doesn’t need 30-200 minutes to cook, that could be an option (I remember beef liver taking ridiculously little time) but I almost never have.
If it’s not cooking, that’s simple. ANY carnivore ingredient beyond raw meats (sadly, I have no edible raw meats, they are great though). I could make a girl dinner from my fridge on most days. Multiple kinds of cheese cubes, some drier sausage, some butter, whipped cream, sour cream, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, quark flavored with things (some cream does good too)… If I throw in some 98% fat smoked cooked pork, it can be an OMAD meal… And I very often have boiled and potentially pickled eggs. But as I wrote, eggs are almost no time to cook and I prefer almost any pure egg dish over boiled egg (and I gladly eat boiled egg when hungry. usually).
I have tinned fish too but I end up not using them for ages for reasons (like super fatty sugary sauce. I only have tuna but it needs a ton of added fat and it’s a chore to figure out how, anyway, it’s expensive and tuna is overfished, my SO says and well, I can eat so much better food. I do like a proper tuna spread, I just never did it fully right. hard to learn if I open a tin once a year).
I used to keep some fried meat in the freezer but I don’t anymore for reasons. So if I run out of meat and want meat, it’s basically always sausages. I do have tiny bacon cubes for my scrambled eggs but that’s over 5 minutes.
I only need a little extra or premeal though. I am aware I probably eat every day (it’s the case since YEARS 
) so I plan and prepare food every day. A lot. 5-6 courses dinner and stuff, I need variety, NO WAY I only eat one dish or two, it just never happens (except my super rare breakfast when I eat one egg, virtually always), I don’t know how others do it… Must be nice. I may fry a pound of my favourite meat, I still need a lot of other varied food.
But in the past, I used to need some extra when I ate up my planned food and occasionally I really try to go for a fast day so I can’t have ready to eat food beyond my usual ingredients (or else I probably will eat it) and when I apparently inevitably get hungry, I need something. It’s fine if it takes 30 minutes though, that’s not a big deal to wait.
Oh, cheese whisps! About 2 mins but it’s a snack, not for my hunger.
Nuts are nice but my SO is the one who can eat 120-250g peanuts and calling it a a meal… It’s snack to me. Sometimes I eat 2-20 grams on a hike but I am very satiated then, just can’t stand him eating ALL the tempting nuts… Half a peanut is loads better than nothing if you ask me. Well if I am really modest, I just smell it… Love the smell of roasted peanut. But the smell isn’t crunchy 
I like tuna and probably would be upset if my eggs turned out to be fishy so I am not sure there is a connection… Never had fishy eggs so IDK but sounds very odd even for savory dishes (it may clash horribly) but I have them in my coffee and sweet baked goods…
I have eaten about 2500 eggs per year for decades (and it wasn’t a small amount for the rest of my life), I am used to the normal lovely egg taste 
By the way, I have black salt (2 kinds, normal and Himalayan). What on earth one does with it when they aren’t vegans who never had egg so it’s not for the egg taste (they fail horribly, by the way). Should I just use it as salt in dishes that can handle the very strong taste…? Well it lasts forever, I have time to figure it out.
