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?
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.
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.

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
Fellow German here, slice of cheese on bread is the go-to. Microwaved, if I’m feeling spicy.

Right now my easy meal is canned soup.
Right! I forgot about ramen or canned stews!
