I probably need more help than this but it's the first thing on my mind since I'm gonna be walking to the grocery store in the next 20 minutes

Stay well away from ramen and microwave meals. If you have to go there, check the nutrition panel. Aim for the least sodium (<400mg/100g is okay, less is better) saturated fats (<5g/100g) and sugar (<25g/100g).
The other advice in this thread is solid, but I'll add that mushrooms go surprisingly well in the microwave. A microwaved field mushroom on a bun with salad and sauce makes a half decent burger.

It's the dietary equivalent of 1:1 cardboard and salt with a bullion cube

good news, the ingredients for it are cheap and if you make it yourself it doesn't have to be so salty it crystalizes your blood

Some of them aren't terrible, but none of them are good.
What if you make your own tonkatsu in the microwave and hand pull your own noodles?
I'm the last person to stop someone pulling their own noodle.
Seriously though, I'm sure there are better recipes for ramen broth out there than the shit they generally pack in with instant stuff.
If you are working on a humid farm in the summer sun and need carbs and salt? No. If you live in America? Almost certainly

Yeah, you're right. Context matters. Thanks for reminding me of this.
I mean, I wasn't trying to come off as overly didactic. Ramen is very much a comfort food for me. Even though I am not great about it, there are ways to make part of a healthy diet.
Prison style isn't that but they will not stop me
Nah I mean it. I'm studying community nutrition postgrad at the moment so it's good to be reminded that blanket statements coming from the perspective of a middle class Western consumer aren't always helpful. Different demographics have different needs.
