[ food taste puzzle + challenge ] -- please recommend a tasty yet healthy micro-wavable food

a person needs 2-2.5k calories a day, this food you recommend should be able to be made 2x a day to consume

so should be ~1-1.5 calories total

there's 2 requirements:


---

* should use some items that are healthy + low-cost high calories

there's nothing in this world that fits this best but

'whole grain' like oats, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, etc.



---

* be tasty

things i tried that do not work:

real butter -- i never used butter before so put in a whole stick, went from tasteless to not getting significantly different or better

garlic -- i once tried putting in half of a whole can of garlic powder, went from tasteless to 'heh that kinda burns or something'

salt -- goes from tasteless to 'that's too salty'

cheese -- chedder, its' ok...

anything spicy im allergic to

--

things i tried that have worked:

pasta sauce -- something about tomato sauce, i dunno whats in it..

ramen noddle -- i dont know why plain white ramen noddles work and is yummy and soft

soy sauce -- a different kind of salt, its ok, i can at least taste it compared to the tasteless above

teriyaki sauce -- soy is better, basically the same as soy sauce, has vinegar is all = soy sauce + vinegar = teriyaki


--

i put in vegs no matter what

* spinanich, brociolio, green onions, clinatntro, etc.

vegs do not really add anything to taste

yea they taste 'different' but they dont make the whole grain taste any different


---

method of prep

* blender - blend anything
* mini-microwave
* anything easiest -- easiest


be creative!!

If it's possible for you, have you considered seeing a nutritionist or dietician? They might be able to help with planning and portioning, and give you clear guidelines on food groups.

im sure someone eventually decades from now would know the answer,

it's pretty simple problem, what do you think?
