I hate the amount of time it takes to cook and eat things every day. 😆 The microwavable frozen foods section would have been my first choice, there is usually enough selection to find something suitable, but the dollars-per-calorie cost is way too high, on order of $20-$30 per day. This pie is $15 and has enough calories for 2 days and takes zero work. Sugar and fat are already two of the three main ingredients I need. Also protein, but the wheat in the crust has some. Apples are a fruit, they have vitamins and shit. Looks good to me!

Good find, it’s shady as fuck they healthy-wash the processed food. But your post is also interesting for a second reason- you care about eating healthy and do some specific diet, and yet you plan to live on frozen apple pie, whose nutritional value, traditional or not, is practically just sugar with fat? Unexpected choice for a conscious diet.

I just want to point out that apple pie is a dessert, not a dietary staple. Not shaming you for enjoying an occasional treat, I do more than my share and we definitely need to find things that give us joy in this world… But sugar is not necessary, like at all. It has zero recommended percentage on labels because humans don’t need it for complete nutrition.

apple crumble or apple oatmeal? an apple oatmeal bowl would take less than ten mins to make, an apple crumble longer but then you …could eat half the pan like you want to. .
you can usually only have have 2/3: convenience, budget, quality. Pick two. A homemade apple oatmeal bowl might hit all three markers though.
what I would do, buy: A container of quick oats, a bag of apples, cinnamon, cane sugar… uh… Yeah. In a microwave bowl pour a tablespoon of sugar (or less or more whatever, its early), a shake of cinnamon, cut an apple (skin on for fiber) in to cubes right in your hand or on a small plate/cutting board, add it to the bowl, place about a cup of the quick oats on top, fill with water (maybe half a cup? maybe 3/4 cup? or read the oat box find out how much ur to use), Stir, then microwave it for like, two mins and eat the shit.
No it wont be fucking rock your socks off, but ita quick easy food that didt cost much.

Sounds like products like huel and soylent are just for you! Would be healthier probably.

I’d love these! I’m the target audience but they cost even more per calorie than microwaveable frozen meals do.

You seen very focused on the “cost per calorie” measure. Have you never heard the phrase “empty calories”?

Honestly, that part about eating nothing but pie for two days makes me feel like this is a mood but elaborate troll.
