Bonus points for healthy/low carb. Omivore, vegetarian, vegan, I eat all the things but my autistic ass is very low on spoons. I'm a good cook but even the thought of cooking instant ramen sounds daunting sometimes.

Easy things I've incorporated are protein shakes with coffee, flax milk and chia seeds during the morning. Keeps me good til 1pm or so since breakfast grosses me out during the weekdays and it takes like 2 minutes to prepare

Also wraps. Throw a protein on, condiments or a sauce like pesto or something, rip up some lettuce with your BARE HANDS, and that's it. Or if you're feeling fancy, slice up some cheese/veggies. Less than 5 minutes with minimal clean up, just a cutting board knife, plate and maybe a spoon or butter knife. Sometimes if I'm not cutting much ill just do it carefully in my hands or on my plate to avoid washing the cutting board

The benefits of a rice cooker cannot be overstated

Hot fresh rice, tuna in olive oil, soy sauce to taste

Miso soup with a scoop of 3-4 day old rice in it

cubed tofu, rice, water, soy sauce, whatever veggies you want all in the rice cooker together. turn on that rice cooker to cook the rice and it'll cook everything else. lots of food, genuinely zero effort. this has been the essential cornerstone of my diet recently.

Rice cookers can be more than just rice cookers too. Throw some beans in there. Season the rice straight in the cooker. Get creative. Basically anything that can be steamed will come out fine in a rice cooker.

I had great success the other day with rice, red lentils, mirepoix, and garlic cooked with vegetable broth instead of water. I second "most anything can be cooked in a rice cooker"

Dry beans? How do you estimate the water required? I've been resisting the idea of buying a rice cooker since I'm low on bench space and make it with a small saucepan usually, but if I can rehydrate beans in em then I'm gunna reassess

Canned, drained. Dry might also work but haven't tried it

That gives me an idea about what I can get my father for Christmas.
