I feel dumb asking this, but...

...what do people eat for lunch when they don't like to cook at all? I have some really bad eating habits, and I have also gained weight from that and a medication I was on for awhile. I would like to be more healthy, because my physical state is contributing to these horrible moods I get in. I do like fruits and veggies, but I actually only eat them when they are in the prepared foods I have. Once in awhile I'll have a banana or some watermelon or a nectarine or two. I have looked up "one ingredient lunches" online, but it's never just one ingredient: the wisdom being that it's not a balanced meal. I really love PB&J, but I buy the frozen ones...does that count??? Again, I feel silly, but I could use some advice, for real.

You sound like me! My meds made me gain a lot of weight! And I eat like you! If it wasn't for this post I would have forgotten to have eaten! So I had an apricot! Just now! I have things like watermelon and banana's too... I usually only cook for my family, but my family went out East for the month so it's just me and simple meals, yesterday I grabbed a green pepper from my garden and made myself an omelette! I try to get in my proteins, fiber, and fats and vitamines and minerals! I love nothing more than natural whole foods rather than processed foods, but I still cheat and will eat a bag of dorretoes chips, or have a slushie! Or some chocolate! Just don't forget to eat healthy and don't eat too late at night!
