Working on your startup every minute of the day is unhealthy and counterproductive.

Taking time to cook some meals not only saves money but also gives you some time to think. I’ve come up with some great ideas for my startups while cooking or exercising. Plus, if you cook you usually have leftovers and other basics in your fridge so if you’re really busy one day you don’t have to stop and order food or go out.

Personally, my food is based around a balance of health, cost, flavor, and other plans. So I cook 3-4 dinners per week, make my own (quick) breakfast every day, and have leftovers or a quick sandwich or salad for lunch 4-5X per week. The rest is a combination of eating out, eating at friends places, delivery, takeout, client dinners, or meetups.
