Does anyone else cook a whole meal hungry and upon finishing, you don't want to eat it at all? (lemmy.world)

It happens to me fairly often. Usually, it's with food I find less than appetizing, but it's not bad by any means. I think the problem stems from the fact that I cooked for about 8 years for my job. There was a lot of standing and eating, tasting dishes as I went, cooking food that I was never going to eat while I was hungry, etc..

Does anyone else share this problem?

It is basically impossible for me to cook for one person unless it's a burger and fries type situation. I find it hard to cook for just myself as well.

I guess I mean an option is to "cook for leftovers". IE accept the fact that you won't want to eat in the moment when it happens, and tub up another meal. Just make sure you have healthy snacks around!

Kinda like the idea of removing the stress of not being able to fall asleep by recognizing that it is going to happen.
