Post /fit/ food hacks you've acquired from family, friends, people, books, yourself, or the internet.
I got a couple.
1. Lay out all the ingredients for the recipe you're going to make in front of you. This makes cooking go a lot smoother.
2. Don't try to combine steps unless you're really confident with the recipe. It's easier to cut up all your veggies/meats/seasoning first before you begin cooking so you can just combine everything at the right time.
3. Cooking to me is a science. I TIME everything. I even time my steaks on the grill. Things just turn out so much better when I don't rely on eye balling and approximation.
4. A tablespoon of olive oil has 110 calories...using sparingly.
5. Always have a food waste bowl on the table. It can get overwhelming seeing a bunch of food everywhere.
6. Place veggies/eggs/pasta in cold water to stop cooking, leaving them at room temp could overcook the food.

7. Always have a case of water bottles in your car.

1+2 are keys in a professional kitchen. Proper prep before cooking.
even if you are just opening cans.

8. Learn how to sharpen your knives. A perfectly sharp knife goes where you will it, and it will make you feel like a good cook.

If you're actually good cook with experience, you can eye ball your food and be just fine.
When I first started cooking in college, I used to follow recipes exactly, and my food came out decently enough. Once I got more experience, and learned how spices work and just the general science of cooking, I was able to eye ball spices and guesstimate cook times and my meals came out tastier.

Frozen vegetables are cheaper, last a long time, and have the same nutritional value as fresh vegetables. Some can even be prepared just by microwaving for several minutes.

What are some staple vegetables i could add to my diet and make them the food stuff I eat the most during the day?

I go green and orange, broccoli, carrot, sweet potato, aspargus, spinach, kale.
If you don't like any of these I didn't either. I was a picky child and has a mother that was too kind for her own (and my own) good. The key is to eat it in small amounts mixed with other foods and gradually increase the quantity of veggies with each mouthful until you can eat it without masking the flavour at all. Took me a while but now i love veggies.

Only if you live somewhere cold. Unless you want all that sweet sweet music plastic to seep into your water.
