I think our body is fairly good at knowing how much we need to eat to facilitate certain process such as muscle growth due to a training stress. If you train fairly hard it should make you hungry enough to eat enough food to build new muscle and refill glycogen stores and blood protein levels. Atleast that's how it works for me. I imagine not everyone has an efficient appetite and I'm sure that makes eating a grind.

For me the meal prepping of a diet is the biggest chore. I don’t like cooking but its a must. I eat 6-7 times a day on a diet and am still starving all day. My calorie intake is about 3000 cal on a diet due to my size and I usually follow a 40/40/20 split. I try and eat 4-5 meals of Whole Foods and 1-2 shakes a day tops. For dinner I’ll cook extra to eat for the next day and prep the sweet potatoes and other carbs once a week for the rest of the week.

You are right about it being a MUST! Prepping and cooking are the biggest part of bodybuilding for me. My first love as a kid...food!! Lol 
. I definitely want to get back to more meals per day vs my Covid Mega meals 3x daily. I enjoy the 4-5 solid meals with 1-2 shakes. Usually I’ll make a supplement/organ protection/antioxidant shake early, as most of my supps are bulk powders{cheaper than capsule, branded}. Usually:
Blueberries, raspberries, Spinach, hemp/flax, Knox Gelatin, MSM, NAC, Tudca, MIC, Gluthianone, Curcumin, mixed omegas, r-ala, Betator, banana, water. Then a post workout shake w carbs/whey isolate/Creapure. Cooking for 4-5 days at a time is great; especially if you can cook it mainly on the outdoor grill.

I just started dieting and I look forward to eating, but the chewing not so much lol. I make yummy meals and not that plain rice and boiled chicken breast most people think dieting is all about.
For protein it's grilled chicken breast, eggs and steamed tilapia and for carbs I go with brown rice and whole wheat wraps. Easiest way for me to prep my food is to make wraps. Easy peezy
