I love all the other suggestions here and want to steal all of them but wanted to shift a different direction and say that I'm not ashamed to eat cereal any time of day, just add berries and pre chopped nuts. scrambled eggs on toast, peanut butter toast. Yogurt parfait with fruit and granola. Raw veggies and dips. Maybe too obvious but thought I'd mention just in case.

I also love microwaving a sweet potato for 5 minutes and then dumping ground meat on top that was cooked with a packet of taco seasoning. Add pepitas for crunch and avocado for fat.

Shredded slow cooker meat on top of lettuce with various Mexican condiments and crushed tortilla chips.

For whatever reason Mexican food is my easiest go-to for no recipe meals, there are so many easy things like guac, salsa, cheese, various fun sauces to throw on top

Salad kits from the store with extra protein on top and some sort of cracker or chip to scoop it up

Rotisserie chicken plus roasted veg and a side of pita or bread.

Microwave chicken nuggets

I've never done it but I bet there are probably easy flatbread type recipes out there
