Low-Energy Food Setup
A layered food system: within-reach, near-zero-effort, and the batch or delivered layer above.
A keep-close version. Read it here, or screenshot this page to have it on your phone — print and PDF copies will appear once final files are attached.
Food access is where low-capacity days fail first: when eating depends on standing, chopping and washing up, the day comes where it's skipped — and skipped meals make everything worse. This builds the three layers, so there's always a version of eating that fits.
Layer one — within reach, no prep
- Fruit that needs nothing
- Bread and something to put on it
- Yoghurts or the easy protein that works for you
- Cereal bars / the snack that holds a bad afternoon
- A filled water bottle at every resting place
Layer two — the five near-zero-effort meals
Ingredients grouped together in one place, so the meal costs one decision and almost no standing.
My five
e.g. Toast+cheese; microwave rice+tinned something; cereal; crackers+hummus; the soup that's always in the cupboard
Layer three — for the days above that
Where the day's eating is decided
A default beats deciding while depleted: the hard-day meal is a standing answer.
The standing answer
e.g. Bad day = option one, no discussion. The meal exists to be eaten, not enjoyed.
Toast eaten lying down is a success. The system isn't about nutrition perfection — it's about the day never coming where eating quietly fails.
