Because it's a little TOO easy.

Your body and brain know you didn't put any effort into it, not because you were in a rush, but just because you couldn't be arsed to. So it punishes you by making you hyper aware that you're consuming the uncanny valley of food. It's not NOT food, but it's not FOOD.

To be clear, I'm just using "you" generically. Absolutely no judgement here lol

In an interesting corellary, those frozen meals taste delicious after I get home from busting my ass all day at work. On a slow work day or weekend tho, they feel how OP described.
