Think your friend misses the point. Making your own food lets you control what goes in your body, not just save money. I notice people often pick quick options that leave them feeling blah later. Like when I travel, I'll grab apples and peanut butter from a store, it's cheap and keeps me full longer than some greasy street food.
Totally get what you mean! I was just reading how even simple meal prep, like making a big batch of hard boiled eggs or overnight oats, cuts down on those desperate unhealthy buys. It's not about fancy cooking, just having a better option ready. That apples and peanut butter trick is genius for travel, way better than that heavy feeling from a fast food stop.
