    Hi, BlackBirdSong. Many foods do not require much cooking or preparation time, and you can easily make meals from them. These include fresh fruits and vegetables, breads and crackers with cheeses, avocado, tahini, and other nutritious spreads that can be made just by pureeing and seasoning canned legumes, shakes, yogurts and cottage cheese, and nuts and seeds. Just so I understand, do you not have access to any cooking equipment?
