I can't say that I like to cook either, but FTS has changed the way I think about ALOT of things.    There are alot of really easy recipes here on the forum.  I totally understand how fast food gets old.  You could throw some frozen chicken breasts in the crock pot with a little butter & italian seasoning before you leave home in the morning.  When you get home, make a salad or try the mashed cauliflower.  Grilling is always good too....steaks, chicken, & fish cooks REALLY fast!   I love to make the little quick pizzas too!  There is an awesome sausage quiche recipe here on the forum.  I make one of those, and warm it for breakfast for a whole week.  In a way, FTS has made it kind of fun to cook....and coming from ME....that's a change.  ha ha   Good luck!

Do you have any friends that like to cook?  Maybe you could offer to buy up some meats or foods that your friend would cook for you.  You could maybe leave them some food or agree on an amount that would be fair to both of you.  A really good friend might do it just because they care.  There are several easy recipes here.  I have found that preparing ahead helps a lot.  I have separated lots of items into "portion" sizes and that makes it a lot faster when preparing meals, snacks, etc.

Congratulations on the weight loss, watch those bananas LOL!!  Look for a "jicama" plant to replace that banana with.  Just peel and chunk it up, great snack.

Check out Dougs stuffed lasagna zuchinni recipe, easy to fix and delicious.  Make some ahead, freeze and microwave later.  Great leftover and it's a meal by itself.  The one minute muffin is GREAT, very filling and can be made in the microwave.

Keep in touch.  The forum and folks here are great also.  Everyone will give all kinds of ideas.

Very easy SKINNY, every good grocery store has a hot food section with ribs (no sauce) rotisserie chicken, veggies...etc. You can also get deli trays, chicken wings and hard boiled eggs from the same source. Then we have eateries like Boston Market where you can also get hot foods to go which are FTS friendly. If I was you I would put together a weekly schedule and stick with it. Once you get into a habit it will be very easy to maintain.
