You know you need more protein, but you're too tired to think about macros, shakes, or meal prep that takes all Sunday. This book isn't for the guy flexing in the mirror — it's for you, the exhausted cook who just wants dinner on the table without a second grocery run or a sink full of pans. Every recipe uses straightforward ingredients from an ordinary supermarket, relies on shortcuts like frozen vegetables and canned beans, and never asks you to measure a gram of anything. You'll find honest timings (most meals are ready in 30 minutes or less), safe advice on batch cooking and freezing, and a complete lack of judgment about your takeout habit. Whether you want a hearty bowl, a one-pan roast, or something you can throw together from the pantry, these meals deliver real protein without the bro culture. No gym membership, no expensive powders, no guilt. Just dinner. Part of The Tired Cook's Library.
