Would a container of “emergency food” help? That is, food that takes little to no effort to make. I’m German, so I’m raised to eat a slice of bread with a slice of sausage on top as the default meal. I take it this is not a thing in the US. How about making sure you’re always stocked on cereal?
I do that with cheese, sausage, and crackers. Like a low effort charcuterie board. But I get tired of it pretty frequently, which makes it entirely unappetizing to me. Like I’d rather not eat and just be hungry if that’s my only option. So I have to rotate.
Trail mix is emergency food, but it has to be the right kind. Not spicy, I’m overstimulated already, hot peppers would be a screen door on a submarine.

the problem is that the emergency food is the low effort food and so i will always eat that first and then i have run out of emergency food

Right now my easy meal is canned soup.
Right! I forgot about ramen or canned stews!
Fellow German here, slice of cheese on bread is the go-to. Microwaved, if I’m feeling spicy.
