I make slow cooked chicken burritos and freeze them. Takes about 1 hour of prep, and about 6 hours to cook so it isn’t easy, but I only gotta do this occasionally. If I do this in conjunction with meal prep it takes a lot longer to prep, but then I can have a work week of food, and have like 8 burritos for when I’m too lazy to cook.

Even if you cant, you can literally just have a backup plan like mine, for when I forget to cook I have some frozen chicken strips, potato wedges, and green beans, throw it all on a sheet pan and into the convection oven for 20-25 mins, boom you have a decent meal, bit more pricey than doing it from scratch, but it’s quick and low effort

I’m okay cooking for just myself but I have a toddler and celiac wife so I use cook smarts. Takes away so much of the planning.

I do have ADHD, and while I can manage meal prep, 99% of the time I just can’t be bothered. But I force myself to do it, because the alternative is eating a bag of crisps and a big bar of chocolate and feeling like crap all afternoon.
