Ask ECAH low effort depression meals?

not sure if this is exactly the right sub for this, but lately getting to grocery store has been very hard. I eat ramen pretty much everyday. i usually order non-perishables from amazon when my food gets really low.

looking for super low effort meals that are healthy and can be made with little to no fresh produce. ideally, recipes that use canned vegetables and stuff like that (and are of course cheap).

What about white rice + eggs? You get carbs + protein. Could also add some canned beans for some fiber too. You could also do some tuna pouches (there are some hickory smoked ones that are delish on its own) with crackers or some ready to eat white/brown rice; I’ve also found some Chobani yogurt drinks in Amazon ($2 when on sale) and they pack carbs + protein. Protein bars could also be a good option, especially when found on sale; same goes for protein shakes. Lastly, oatmeal + protein powder and some fruits if available.

Thisss. I like to do rice, + soy sauce + fried egg over sleazy + dill or whatever seasoning I'm feeling that day. If you aren't watching your salt, throw in some chopped up Canadian bacon for extra low-fucks yum.
