Flex's short answer

Decide dinner before you're tired, at lunch or on the weekend, and keep a short list of 15-minute meals you already like. Let AI plan the week from what's in your kitchen.

✱ Flex's tips

Decide before you are tired.

1

Pick dinner at lunch

Hungry and tired at six is the worst time to decide.

2

Keep five go-to meals

Fifteen minutes or less.

3

Cook once, eat twice

Make double. Save half.

4

Let AI plan the week

From what you already have.
