I also live alone, and my kids are grown up and gone.
I came to feel that "It's not worth it to cook for just one person" was a pretty lame excuse to eat frozen food and other garbage.
I'm trying to cook more stuff I can freeze or at least store for a few days.
Still pretty lazy though.
I believe in you. There's lots of easy stuff you can make that's good for you too. Just have to look up recipes. I'm gonna be staying with someone for a few weeks soon and I'm dreading it because they eat like shit.
It's kind of hard right now, because food prices have gone up so much .
But you don't have to poison yourself
Rice would be a choice, but I got type 2 diabetes a couple years ago after having pneumonia.
What's really bad is bread, which is annoying because it is relatively cheap.
I don't know much about diabetes diets so can't speak to that but I haven't really found junk food to be any cheaper than any other ingredients. Steak is more expensive but my grocery store usually has sales on particular cuts or older stuff you just need to use right away.
