Do you know anybody that is in above-average shape that doesn't know how to prepare and cook their own food?

I truly believe deep down in my heart, that in order to be in overall good shape, you have to know how to prepare and cook your own food, because you get to ultimately control the food that goes in your body.

This is especially important in the USA where the "typical" diet is a road to preventable illnesses and degenerate health.

Yes, I know at least one person that is in good shape but can't make their own food

No, I don't know anyone in good shape that can't make their own food

No. I lost weight eating foods that took half a brain to prepare, and they were full dishes.

Cut open a frozen bag of veggies, pour some on a plate, microwave. Open a can of beans with a can opener. Throw a chicken breast on the Foreman grill or frying pan. Add salt. It's very basic. Tuna with light mayo. Salmon patties can be microwaved. The list of convenient and easy to prepare foods goes on and on, and failure to prepare them is failure to apply yourself.

If you're just looking at someone's body instead of their actual health, yeah, plenty of skinny or average-sized people don't know how to cook and just eat like crap all of the time. All of my friends are skinny and they just microwave or order everything they eat.

Yes, I know at least one person that is in good shape but can't make their own food.

But I think the main reason why they are in good shape is because they try to keep up with going to the gym and sometimes trying to eat healthy.

You don't need to cook, but you DO need to know how to choose healthy foods, whether it's something you make yourself or making healthy choices while eating out. Knowing how to cook helps, but it's not the only thing

I don't know a single fit person who can't cook some healthy meals. Learning your way around a kitchen, or at least the basics, is one of the key things to getting fit, since pre-prepared foods are processed out the ass.

Yeah, the NFL, NBA, and all of Major League Baseball to name several thousand. ; - )

I'm in above average shape and I know how to cook food :). I have some friends that are in good shape but I'm pretty sure they don't cook
