Something that worked for me is always shopping for a specific meal. Instead of buying ground beef because I might want burgers or tacos or chili, I instead buy everything for a chili. It’s lead to less “oh I forgot I had this beef in here” and more “I better use this nice, fresh beef to make chili because otherwise I’ll go hungry.
It’s not a perfect system, and seems really obvious in hindsight, but has been a paradigm shift for me.
My issue is that I often end up choosing the "go hungry" option over the chili option
and I love chili
I think one of the tricks is to purposefully plan time to cook that's not right before you're planning to eat, so it's an activity/hobby, not a necessity. If I have to cook when I'm hungry, I'll probably just make do instead, but if I say "ok, Saturday afternoon, I'm gonna make a pot of soup, because that'll be delicious later," it's a lot less dreadful, imo.
