Why does it take 2 whole hours to eat and get in bed?

It takes way more than an hour if you are actually cooking your own food. Cook, eat, cleanup. 1.5 hours minimum, often more.

Meal prep is a thing, getting take out saves a lot of time especially if you are looking for wiggle room in your schedule to go out and be social.

Seems like there are a lot of simple obvious solutions to the issue here.

I'm married and 41, I'm just pointing out the real time needed. If you are actually trying to be healthy, and not just shoveling extra sugar and saturated/trans fats down your throat, then often the best choice is to cook your own food. Restaurants almost all prioritize taste, cost, and efficiency over health. Our society makes it difficult to stay healthy. So doing things while also staying, healthy is time consuming.

Edit: Also getting takeout still takes time, order, wait, pickup, eat, cleanup, you're still down at least an hour unless you get fast food.

Bros complaining about having no time. I'm just suggesting ways to claw a little back
