How does the word ‘Bachelor’ seem to you? A single person? A person who doesn’t live with his/her family? Or a person who mostly struggles with having good food at home? Well, I see someone who even forgets about having meals while balancing his work life and responsibilities.
Bachelor life is one of the most memorable as well as essential times for any person. During this time, we learn to take responsibilities, start our careers, try to enjoy life, etc. But we often overlook the fact that we need to stay healthy and eat proper meals. It happens for various reasons. Most bachelors live alone without their family; they don’t know how to cook good food, or their maids cook horrible food in the most unhygienic way, they don’t get the time to prepare a hearty meal for themselves, and many more. Overspending their budget is also an issue to think about.
So in this situation, most go for processed foods or street foods like shingara, samosa, puri, chicken bun, roll, etc. These are common and tasty to have as snacks. But having these foods on a daily basis can create health issues as they are not made most hygienically. Shingara, samosa, or other street foods are often fried with old cooking oil that has been used for many days.
There is always a way to defend against any problem. So let’s look at some budget-friendly and healthy meals for bachelors out there.
First of all, multigrain pasta, noodles, and spaghetti are some of the easiest dishes to make and become healthy. I personally love these. It takes a few minutes to prepare it. You can even add vegetables and eggs to make it tastier and more nutritious. It can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. Another easy meal can be toast and butter. I have this when I am running late for work, and I need to eat something fast and easy for breakfast.
Chicken curry dish is one of the most common and effortless dishes to cook for dinner. In fact, most bachelors follow this item to save time. But nowadays, lots of unhygienic issues are there related to poultry chicken. So, one should be careful about selecting chicken. Some organic food company is now providing fresh fowl. It takes way less time to cook as well as nutritious. Oats can be a healthy option. It perfectly goes with milk, honey, and banana. Oats are wholesome and enriched in calories. It can keep you energized for a long time. Adding different fruits with oats can boost your vitality. Bread, omelette, sandwich, pancake, etc., are also great options for a reasonable snack.
If someone wants to be more modest about their budget, they can shop smarter for their staples. There are many cheaper protein sources such as lentils, beans, chickpeas, etc. Try buying seasonal vegetables and fruits in bulk. Freeze and store them for future use.
Weekly meal preparation can save a lot of time. You can arrange vegetables, meat, fish, bread or any other groceries for the whole week. When you have everything put together, you will not have to worry about what to eat, and it will decrease the chances of skipping a bite. Bachelors should build this habit for the sake of their well-being. To make a happy memory of this life, a bachelor should focus on their right menu.
