Between school and working full time I have less than 0 energy to cook food when I get home. I also don't have the energy/time/attention span to pack a lunch most days. I've been eating like a raccoon for a month just waiting to feel up to meal prepping because this current pattern is bleeding me dry. What works for you?

Main strategies right now:

engineered staple foods always available in stock (Jimmy Joy, Soylent, Huel, "This is food", ...). So always the option to have a somewhat healthy meal with 0 effort.
big freezer & hot air fryer. Good compromise of taste & health: salmon with vegetables in cream sauce. Less healthy: Fries (still best-health fries), fish sticks, vegan burger
healthy-enough snacks. Currently binging on high protein, low sugar cookies. Obviously not that healthy, but otherwise I'd binge the really bad stuff when I lose control
healthy snack plate with carrots, apple slices etc.: Just set it up at the desk and see what happens. Thinking about actually eating it is too much mental effort, and it happens automatically anyway.
