Don’t Know How to Cook? That’s Not an Excuse Anymore

So, you want to reach your fitness goals—lose fat, build muscle, feel better in your skin—but you’re stuck because you don’t know how to cook?

Let’s be honest: that’s not a real excuse anymore. Cooking doesn’t require master-chef level skills, and these days, you’ve got more tools and resources than ever to help you make it happen. In this article, we’re breaking down why cooking isn’t the barrier you think it is—and how you can make it work without losing your mind (or your time).

1. Cooking is Easier Than You Think

Most meals don’t require culinary wizardry. You’re not cooking like Sanji from One Piece or the cast of Food Wars every time you eat. Real talk: you can throw food in an oven, air fryer, skillet, or crockpot, flip it a couple of times, and boom—done.

You don’t need fancy sauces or perfect plating. You just need food that helps you get closer to your goal. Simple meals like:

Ground beef or turkey with rice and veggies
Air-fried chicken with sweet potatoes
Crockpot shredded chicken tacos

Minimal effort, maximum results.

2. Social Media Has Made This Even Easier

You have a major advantage that didn’t exist 10 years ago—free content on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram showing you step-by-step how to meal prep, cook, and season everything under the sun. These creators give you easy meals with simple ingredients and instructions that take minutes to follow.

Want to lose fat? Build muscle? Eat better without cooking every single day? There’s a 60-second video with your name on it.

3. Still Struggling? Meal Prep Is Your Answer

If time is your issue, meal prep is your solution. Meal prepping once or twice per week can save you hours across the rest of your week. Even if it takes you 2–3 hours on a Sunday, there are 168 hours in the week. You can use 3 of them to plan your meals and take control of your results.

Not sexy? Maybe not. Effective? Absolutely.

And again, there are tons of creators showing you how to meal prep efficiently, quickly, and on a budget. Use that to your advantage. You don’t need to do it alone.

4. Ask Yourself: What Do You Actually Want?

At the end of the day, the question isn’t whether you can cook or meal prep—it’s whether you’re willing to make time for what you want.

Would you rather put in a few hours of meal prep… or keep waking up frustrated by what you see in the mirror, knowing deep down you could have done something about it?

You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to take action.
