Ordering In Saves Time

The Myth: "I'm too busy to cook—ordering in saves time."

The Reality Check: Let's do some uncomfortable time math.

Your "Quick" Delivery Reality:

• 10 minutes browsing menus (what sounds good today?)
• 35-45 minutes delivery time (if you're lucky)
• 30 minutes post-meal energy crash from excess oil/salt
• 15 minutes of food guilt and "I should eat better" thoughts

Total time lost: 90+ minutes per meal. Over a week, you've basically lost a full workday to food-related decision fatigue and recovery.

The Hidden Costs:

• Decision fatigue from endless menu options
• Unpredictable delivery times disrupting your schedule
• Energy crashes that kill afternoon productivity
• Money drain that adds up faster than you think

What Real Convenience Looks Like: Time-saving should include after-meal energy, not just prep speed. Meals that take 5-7 minutes to cook but give you stable energy for hours are actually more convenient than delivery that leaves you sluggish.

The Smart Switch: Ready-to-cook meals that deliver nutrition and taste without the delivery drama or energy crashes.

Bottom Line: True convenience means saving time and feeling good afterward. Delivery apps give you neither.
