1. I started to cook to save cash on "healthy" food. "Healthy" and high in protein food tend to be expensive, and I was just starting to take my daily macros on fitness more seriously. After spending time on cooking, I learned to enjoy cooking, is like crafting food.
2. I don't usually plan my meals, but there are times I find out about a new recipe I want to try but have to wait till the weekend to buy the ingredients at the supermarket.
3. "Healthy" and high in protein meals or desserts. Or just something I feel like trying out, like Thai food.
4. I just try to reach my daily grams of protein per lbs of bodyweight intake, and try to keep my carbs moderate.

Tip #1. Before starting to cook, plan out what to do first to save time. Start with the stuff you have to wait later on: e.g.: prepare and start boiling the chicken first, and while it's cooking, proceed to cut the veggies.
Tip #2. Start washing your dishes while are waiting for something to cook.
Tip #3. Cook in bulk to save time and money. I usually cook enough food for 2 or 3 days, prepare the extra portions in containers and leave them on the fridge.
Tip #4. Learn to taste your food and experiment, don't just follow the recipe. After cooking something new for the first time, taste it, learn to identify what is missing or if there is too much of anything.
