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.

So I generally eat sandwiches for lunch at home if I haven't got left overs.

That's cheap and cheerful. Cheese and tomato or cheese and salad.

I love oranges so it's rare to not find those in my fridge.
I like picking too so grapes, kiwi, mangoes. Oh I love it.

So the other day I really didn't know what to have for dinner, I had a packet pasta (cheese and broccoli) I cooked that then cut up tomatoes, some mixed peppers and through those in uncooked.

It was nice to have the contrast.

If I don't have fruit and veg I feel really unwell. Mentally and physically.

Fish... So it's essential for me not to overload on meats like chicken and beef.
Omg I need fish, or just vegetarian dishes.

I also try to cook in excess so I can refrigerate or freeze food.

I do try to be consistent with my meal times.
Eating too late or too closely together leaves me feeling bloated and unwell.
