Had this issue for years now, meds nuke hunger and I'm terrible at eating breakfast by the time I get back from work they've worn off and I have zero motivation. Fallen into the diet of nearly always having ramen, energy drinks and a beer here and then with a muti vitami.

Tried planners, can never get them to work my job having constantly changing shift patterns probs contributes to that, even tried one of those meal recipe box thingies stopped due to it A: being expensive and B: still didn't really work.

I'm not even a bad cook either just cannot force my brain to bloody do it.

There is no shame in supplementing with Huel, YFood or alike, even muti vitami is fine. I'm also a fan of a refreshing alcoholfree beer!

Lots of good advice here. I like frozen meals or even veggies to keep the routine on some of these days. They need to be heated in a pan opposed to frozen pizza which u just shove into the oven.

I can also recommend a simple rice cooker which u can set and forget, as it switches into warm holding mode when it's done w cooking the rice.
