    Anything includes some kind of cooking honestly... we just make lazy cooking all the time. Worst case I'll pop some frozen grilled chicken in the oven and nuke some veggies. Or make pasta. Or a Trader Joe's shrimp stir fry (which actually requires most cooking than most of what I make as it requires me to stir it).

    I have a NuWave Oven (lovingly dubbed the "Magic Meat Machine") that I can throw fully frozen meat into, season, and let cook. I only have to flip it once and I can walk away and do other stuff and it comes out perfect and juicy every time. I do that + some rice or a steamer bag of veggies and suddenly there's dinner and I just have to plate it. Putting some foil down makes it easier to clean, too, and traps the moisture under it so double bonus :)

    Recently it is a smoothy. I always have fresh or frozen fruit around, I always have almond milk, nuts or seeds, and yogurt, and whey protein powder.

    I just grab what is handy of each and toss it in the blender, drink a 16 oz. glass of water while it blends, then have the smoothy, meal completed.

    1 can of tuna,
    1/4 cup of brown rice,
    1/2 cup of frozen vegetables,
    1/2 cup of salsa.

    Heat the frozen veggies and rice, mix together in a bowl and enjoy.

    I pre cook 1-2 cups of brown rice and store it in the fridge. it's ready when I need it.

    I throw together whatever leftovers are in the fridge - usually beans, rice, and veggies maybe topped with a fried egg, sardines, or a bit of meat. I keep a well stocked pantry so I can usually find something to cook up quickly.
    Quick options are:
    Cup of cottage cheese with diced veggies and/or salsa (with tortilla chips if I want carbs)
    Loaded salad - beans, nuts, cheese, boiled egg, whatever veg, maybe meat or tempeh
    Sardines on toast with avocado or soft cheese
    Sandwich - bacon, avocado, fried egg, cheese, veg, etc.
    Big pan of roast veggies - a little prep to cut up but then I can put it in the oven and do something else for 45 minutes
    Quick veggie sauté (zucchini, peppers, tomato, onion) with pasta or rice

    Pizza or Thai/Vietnamese delivery if I really am not up to anything.

    My go to food is a bowl of cereal with non-fat milk. I choose a cereal with no sugar. Works for dinner, since I am usually not hunger at night. I am hungry during the morning and afternoon.
