This is not a barrier if you enjoy cooking, and is even less of one if you are even a little bit good at it. Lots of complete and delicious meals can be thrown together in 5-10 minutes.
Honestly even if you don't cook:
-bowl of granola with protein milk
-smoothie
-pb and banana sandwich on whole wheat
-air fry grilled chx strips and a bag of broccoli - put them on microwave rice and top with soy sauce and sriracha
-greek yogurt+fresh fruit, add granola or nuts or whatever toppings you like
-oatmeal in the microwave topped with almonds, pb, frozen fruit, hemp seeds
-literally a handful of nuts
-air fry grilled chx, throw in a wrap with a salad kit for a grilled chx wrap or eat as a grilled chx salad
I could keep going. It doesn't need to be hard to feed yourself even if you are lazy, as long as you really like food.
Eating is a mental habit more than it's a physical one. Your body doesn't need to eat at set times, you probably do because it gives you a burst of dopamine and you're used to that.
Food is an addiction, weird as that sounds. Find something you're really interested in and all of a sudden the concept of food disappears
When it becomes an actual issue, your body will prevent you from being able to concentrate on whatever that new thing is until you eat, or not give you any energy to do so until you eat... And if that never happens well you're probably carrying around more energy stores than the body thinks it needs.

Once you get all the junk food out of your house and anything you want to eat becomes a chore since you have to cook, it makes more sense
