When I go grocery shopping, I generally focus on a "few" certain things:
-Tortillas
-Eggs
-Sliced cheese
-Frozen veggies
-Microwave rice (like... Uncle Ben's)
-Frozen meat (for example, frozen/fridge bbq pulled pork)
-TV dinners
-Canned soup
-Popcorn
-Pasta and pasta sauce
-Spam (a... recent development)

If you have the veggies, rice, and meat, it's really easy to just stick all three in the microwave and dump stuff into a bowl, and, ta-da, a healthy, relatively balanced meal. Stick the rest in the fridge. I eat a *lot* and one microwave bag each of veggies and meat lasts me at least two meals. (Rice lasts me one, but like I said, I eat a lot.)

You can use the leftovers as a second meal, or make a few omelettes (I generally use leftovers plus rice and tear up the sliced cheese as stuffing). Quesadillas are an option too. Or burritos.

If you have enough spoons to actually cook, make a bowl of pasta and dump the leftovers in there, either with/out sauce. If you don't have leftovers, put some pasta sauce in a bowl, cut up some spam and stick that in the bowl, cover and pop the thing into the microwave for half a minute, and dump the pasta in.

My go-to depression snack is, slap a tortilla down on a plate, mentally divide it into quadrants, put two slices of cheese on the upper quadrants, fold it up into fourths, and bam, you've got a... cheese tortilla-wich. I once had a pack of sliced smoked salmon, and another time had a bag of sliced salami, and made *fancy* tortilla-wiches.

TV dinners and canned soup are for when you just really don't have time.

Popcorn is a fuck-everything sort of meal. Not terrible unhealthy, but there's also basically zero nutrition. But sometimes you just want popcorn for dinner and that's fine.
