If your job is so physically demanding as to make it impossible to stand, cut, and stir things, then why the fuck are you working out on top of that? Not to mention how much harder it should be to get fat in the first place…
You can eat ultra processed meals at that point, just don’t have four potions of them per meal and you won’t gain weight.
The biggest problem is the lack of planning. If you come home after working and don’t know what you have or what you’re going to make of course it’s going to feel difficult.
So spend 15 minutes on the weekend making a plan for all your meals for the week. Do a single grocery shop for everything you need to reduce trips to the store.
The when you get home on Wednesday, you already know you’re going to cook up some grilled cheese with soup (that’s in your freezer from last week when you made 5 portions) and you can pull it together while you watch an episode of your favorite tv show on the tablet you prop up on your counter.
When we say cheaper we mean dollars. The easier part of the statement covers the time.
If it takes you 30 minutes to make a single meal, it takes you 35 minutes to make 5-10 portions and freeze them. Then you can do the same as the processed meals and pull a different one out each day.
25th percentile for median household income is only $133,000 per year, that’s not per person, that’s the entire household. You’re still working a full time job (or likely more) for that kind of wage. You probably also live in a high cost of living area. That’s comfortable, but hardly what I’d consider “easier” than the previous generation.
I am Canadian, and I was taught Cost as past tense in school and university. I’ve never seen it written Costed for past tense in any government publication either.
Palestine also had Jews pre-biblical times, around 1000 BC. There are verses about the Kingdom of the Israel in the old testament, and it’s all part of that region.
I’m just arguing that it’s not BOTH cheap and easy. It’s only one of those.
Also, don’t cook every meal. I cook 10 portions at a time for my family every time I make dinner and put leftovers in the fridge (or freezer) which reduces the total time to cook per week quite significantly. It barely takes longer to cook 10 portions compared to 2 portions, which drops the per portion cook time down to single digit minutes.
You could probably take a 50% pay cut and still be better off if you took a job that can work from home (or much closer)
You may want to run the actual math and think outside the box for options.
No, go look it up. Top 5% maybe…
Unless you’re an elite athlete, your body consumes more calories per day just to exist than you will burn through exercise.
It takes 30 minutes of decent exercise to work off the calories in a single can of pop. An bowl of chips can set you back an hour.
It’s not even hard to eat 4 hours worth of exercise in a single afternoon snack.
Your situation is valid, but you’ve missed about a half dozen important components.
First. You need to eat slower, 900 calories to feel full is more of a time thing than a volume thing.
Second. You need to be eating more protein and fiber. Which also help with fullness.
Third. You need to give your body time to reduce the size of what it thinks it needs. Your stomach actually gets used to a certain quantity of food, and it needs to re-adjust to a lower amount.
Fourth. Hunger sucks. Drinking water helps. Especially before a meal it will help you with the first point here too.
Fifth. Hunger is a mental thing, you can overcome it with practice, you’re not actually malnourished. As a child I used to participate in these 30 hour famine fundraisers where you didn’t eat anything between dinner on Thursday and lunch on Saturday, only clear fluids were allowed. You can just practice ignoring hunger and get better at it.
25% of the population is not born with enough money to do it without any problems.
Why do a quarter think that it’s the same or easier?
This isn’t a subjective thing, it’s 100% proven at this point.
Weight is gained or lost in the kitchen.
Exercise has everything to do with health, and very little to do with weight.
They need cooking classes, and education around how to properly estimate calories.
I hate this line. “Processed foods are cheap and easy.”
Theyre easy, but they’re not cheap.
You can eat much more cheaply if you spend a little bit of time cooking. There’s no fast food meal that beats the price of a simple pasta with some chicken, or rice and beans with bacon, or a beef stew. You can get per serving portions of those for less than $2 USD and all of them use meat. You can get vegetarian dishes down to less than a dollar per portion.
None of those require anything more than a single pot and pan, and a half hour of actual cooking.
Besides, the vast majority of obese people are drinking 1000+ calories a day. Thats not about cheap or easy, water is the cheapest and easiest drink available. They just choose not to.
I say this as someone who drinks coke every single day, and has a BMI under 20. Weight is about portion control. Health is about nutritional balance and exercise.
Now, the lack of education around cooking and nutrition, that’s a problem.
I use Photopea, it’s a website so no download and does 99% of what Photoshop and GIMP can do.

Fun fact, costed is a word but has a slightly different meaning than the way you have used it.
Costed means to get the details on the cost of something complex. Like “I costed the three projects and the last one is cheapest”
You tried to use it as the past tense of cost, but the past tense of cost is also just cost.
I think most of these demonstrations by anti-oil groups have been avoiding actually damaging anything.
Throwing it on the glass that’s covering a painting is the common one, using easily cleanable substances for outside demonstrations, etc.
There have been a few protests with actual damage though, a bunch of gas pumps were vandalized, actual spray paint at a few places, etc.
Nothing really significant has been damaged in any of them as far as I know.
