do you have advice for someone who wants to cook at home more (focusing on nutrition) but struggles to accept the amount of time it takes? like after a long day of work the idea of committing hours to cooking food just pre-exhausts me
Something to note is that the more often you cook a dish the easier (and often quicker) you are able to do so.

Some kitchen gadgets are worth it. If you really like rice then a rice cooker is TOTALLY worth it. I can start it then walk away (which you can't really do using a stove top). I don't have one myself but i've heard some people save a lot of time using a food processor. Cook some chicken, plop it on the rice, throw on a store bought sauce and you've got yourself a reasonably nice meal without too much effort.

Some people really like instant pots, definitely a set it and forget it option.

Don't be afraid to use frozen or canned vegetables. it's not as premium as fresh veggies but they can be ready in a manner of minutes. Many places sell whole rotisserie chickens for pretty cheap, and you can remove and freeze the meat for later quick use.
