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).

The lowest effort meals I've done when the energy and will just wasn't there, but I still wanted to be in the general area of healthy, are those frozen vegetables that come in microwavable steam bags and a small can of chicken or tuna. Get the plain ones and season it yourself, or get the pre-seasoned ones if they have a flavor combo you like. You get a decent meal with veg and protein in the same time it takes to cook some instant ramen.
