Bonus points for healthy/low carb. Omivore, vegetarian, vegan, I eat all the things but my autistic ass is very low on spoons. I'm a good cook but even the thought of cooking instant ramen sounds daunting sometimes.

Easy things I've incorporated are protein shakes with coffee, flax milk and chia seeds during the morning. Keeps me good til 1pm or so since breakfast grosses me out during the weekdays and it takes like 2 minutes to prepare

Also wraps. Throw a protein on, condiments or a sauce like pesto or something, rip up some lettuce with your BARE HANDS, and that's it. Or if you're feeling fancy, slice up some cheese/veggies. Less than 5 minutes with minimal clean up, just a cutting board knife, plate and maybe a spoon or butter knife. Sometimes if I'm not cutting much ill just do it carefully in my hands or on my plate to avoid washing the cutting board

    One pot lentils and rice is a good go-to. Cup of rice, 2/3rds cup of red lentils. Rinse a few times if you want. Fill with water to one knuckle above the top of the rice/lentils. Cook til water is gone or mixture is soft enough to eat (prolly twenty mins). Then add a jarred sauce like korma or one of the canned curry mixes you just mix with coconut milk. If you're feeling a little more ambitious look up a recipe for kitchedi. As a vegan it was practically my Kraft mac n cheese

      I also often stir-fry onions, garlic, potatoes, tofu or cauliflower and garbanzos while waiting for the rice. But once again, that might be a bit more ambitious than you're asking for
