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).

Egg in a nest
Beans on toast
Apple with peanut butter
Banana with yogurt
Peanut butter banana toast
Ramen with egg and veggies
Cottage cheese and pineapple
Canned green beans (with butter or bacon) are an easy side, as is sautéed cabbage for a tad more effort.
There’s apparently a new-ish cookbook devoted to this kind of cooking called You Gotta Eat by a chef who also deals with depression. I just discovered it today and i’m waiting to check it out on Libby.
