pineapple slices straight out of a tin can

700 grams of hot wings into the airfryer or alternatively 450 gram pack of french fries. More often than not though I simply just don't eat if I'm not feeling like it. I skip meals each week. Yesterday I only ate breakfast for example.

Sandwich or hotdog with chips.

Or a Soylent and some toast/ bread.

Avocado toast, actually. Toast bread, mash avocado on it, maybe sliced onions and if I have any cheese I have that with it or on it.

Take a tortilla wrap, put a slice of gouda young cheese in it, wrap like a wrap, 40 seconds in microwave et voila! Hot pocket and filling meal.

I've got a bunch of frozen mashed potatoes pre-divided into meal-sized tupperware. Microwave one of those and it's quite hearty.

I've also got a rice cooker and it's super easy to make something both substantial and tasty with one of those, dump in the rice and water and then add a tin of condensed soup as well. Push the button and come back later to dump it onto a plate. I've found most kinds of condensed soup work well, though avoid anything with "cream of" in the title as those can end up unpleasantly goopy.

Tuna melts are surprisingly easy. You can make enough tuna salad to last three days. Toast some bread, stick the tuna on top, then cheese and leave under the grill for a bit. Perfectly tasty snack. My classic tuna combo is tuna, mayo, olive oil, celery, spring onion and canned sweetcorn. Salt and pepper to taste.

Cheap frozen pizza and a simple salad.

Jamaican patties. You can pick up a big box of them frozen from almost anywhere (at least where I live) and heat them up in one minute. I mentioned to a Gen Z in the fall that this got me through many a college all-nighter and noticed when I was at their place last weekend, they were all stocked up! Feels good to pass on the torch…

I usually have Rice left over in the fridge cause I always cook it in big batches. Egg fried Rice is so quick and simple.

Depends on your definition of cooking. My "lazy and unpretentious" meal is pasta with whatever. If I have a pre made sauce, that. Perhaps some frozen cream spinach, that works too. A couple eggs mixed into the hot, strained noodles is pretty tasty too. If my stash is completely empty, a piece of butter. Then top it all off with some grated parmesan, and eat it quick before the shame sets in.

Edit: works just as well with rice

Some store bought soup and a bit of toast or something from the freezer, most likely pizza.

Greek yoghurt. Plain,no sugar or fruit. Cucumbers and oranges with tajín. Hummus with celery sticks.

• Cereal
• pasta or rice, frozen vegetables, cheese
• Vegemite on toast

We make homemade soup in bulk and freeze them in mason jars. Very easy to have a healthy meal in five-ten minutes - just pull from the freezer and reheat on the stove or microwave. Make a quick grilled cheese with it if feeling ambitious.

Bags of carrot sticks is my go-to for when I really don't feel like cooking or eating unhealthy.

Stoufers mac n cheese, pizza, pop tarts/waffles, popcorn, depending on hunger level.

I have a poor diet lol

Grilled cheeze with a thick layer of red onion chutney

A couple of eggs cooked in the microwave to hard-boiled consistency, mashed with some Japanese kewpie mayonnaise, seasoned with salt and pepper.

Assemble together with slices of bread to make sandwiches. Pair with cherry tomatoes and sliced cucumbers for a quick side salad.

Ricecakes and hummus, Beans and toast

Spaghetti, olive oil, butter, and grated pecorino! A slightly fancier mac n cheese more or less.

Can of refried beans, cheese, tortilla, whatever sauce, microwave, top with whatever veggies.

five to ten microwaved potstickers and a can of carbonated water.

Whenever I get lazy I just throw some seasoned chicken drumsticks in my airfryer and then add some Uncle Ben's rice. Almost 0 effort.

Bologna bowl, good for when you're poor and/or lazy.

Slap a slice of bologna in a bowl, slice of cheese on top of that, then crack an egg on top of that and nuke it in the microwave for about a minute and 30 seconds. Good with toast or as is.

Chips with cheese melted in the microwave.

Frozen za and(or) beer.

If I'm poor or badly prepared rice with chili crisp and and potentially egg. If it needs to be fast or very lazy 2 bananas and half a liter of milk through the stick blender. Otherwise cereal w/ milk or yoghurt, grocery store bedrolls croissant and such, prepared sweet yoghurt or instant ramen.

Giant fuckoff protein shake.

4 scoops of vanilla protein powder, 2 big spoons of peanut powder, cup of egg whites, decent whack of real maple syrup, and as much whole milk to get a thickshake consistency. Makes about a litre and its like half my daily protein target in one go.

Cup noodles with two eggs

Chicken patties in the air fryer, on pane bread with mayo. Sometimes cheese. Might put frozen fries In the air fryer with them. That was my dinner tonight. Except I used frozen hash brown patties instead of fries. I meant to to have some mini cucumbers and cherry tomatoes for a side and totally forgot.

Spam Musubi

Some of my favorites are peanut butter sandwiches, big chunka cheese, apples (any fruit really), hot dogs/sausages, 30 to 40 olives.

Instant ramen or few slices of bread with cold cuts and some cheese microwaved till the cheese melts.

Doritos in a bowl of water microwaved for 15 minutes throw spaghetti noodles in it and let soak til soft.

Grilled cheese sandwich. It's as lazy or as fancy as you're feeling.

Super lazy? Grease bread with cheese slice. Fry flip eat.

Feeling less lazy as you start? Cut a hole in one of the pieces of bread and fry an egg in it while you toast the other side, and upgrade the cheese. Just be careful. When you start eyeing meats and mustards to pair, you're in danger of making yourself a pretty epic sandwich.
