You really don't know what you feel like having? I have this problem often. It doesn't help that I hate to cook. Do you have a "go to" meal when that happens? Does it happen often?

These days it might be a bowl of oatmeal or cheerios with a splash of almond milk, a dish of canned stewed tomatoes or frozen microwave mixed vegetables, toast with a slice of melted cheese, a PB&J sandwich.
It happens more frequently than I care to admit.

If I'm hungry but on the move.....a banana
It's quick and filling
Otherwise, I wait 'til the cook hollers 'LUNCH'

One of those packages of cheap-o ramen noodles. This is also my go-to when I'm sick. A bowl of salty goodness with negligible nutrient value. LOL! Fortunately it doesn't happen often, as there's usually some leftover that we can defrost and reheat.

If I'm hungry NOW..but can't be bothered to cook but I'm hungry and need something straight away .. I either eat a banana or a handful of dried dates, ..or I break an egg into a cup, cover it and cook on high in the micro for 20 seconds and have a sandwich...
if I want something more substantial , but can't think what to cook then, I'll usually take a ready meal out of the freezer, and just shove it in the oven...or I'll reheat something easy that I've home-cooked like soup... .. or I'll make a jacket potato and fill it with either, grated cheese, or baked beans, or tuna and mayo... or I'll make cheese on toast, or baked beans or canned spaghetti on toast topped with grated cheese

If I’m actually hungry but on the go, I’ll eat a handful or two of nuts..almonds, peanuts, sometimes cashews, or a low carb meal replacement bar.
If it’s an actual meal time and I don’t know what to eat, it’s either because Im not hungry enough or I’m bored with food. That happens a lot ...I just get bored with my typical food choices and want something different. At those times I’ll eat some ethnic dish...curry or megrop or tiki masala or pad Thai are frequent go-tos.

This happens most lunch times - simply no idea what to have. My fallback lunch would be a jacket potato with prawns or Tuna and mayo.

Soup for me too....preferably tomato bisque....when those hunger pangs hit, I reach for the unsalted crackers first....

A dolma wrap, in lavash, with hummus, lettuce, onions and tomatoes. Maybe some veggie chips, on the side.

I don't know why you feel you should be embarrassed. LOL My question is, do you make this yourself, have them in the freezer as heat and eat meals or get it from a fast food place?

I hope that something in our lists appealed to you,
and that you have gotten yourself that, or something else, to eat by now!

Can't go wrong with a piece of toast.
Slice fresh tomato and add feta cheese and microwave for 30 sec.
Bowl of shredded wheat with bran and handful of blueberries.
Of course, you need to have all the above on hand.

Lately it has been tuna sandwiches. Not sure why. It is low on my list of comfort foods, but I do like them sometimes.
Even though I try not to rely on them too often, I often buy a few of the Stoffers frozen entrees when they are on sale (this week 4/$10) for a go to, quick meal, when I do not feel like fussing, like if I have had a busy day and do not want to cook. I will probably go out before the end of the week to buy a few more. I will then have enough to last me through winter and into spring.
