I also struggle with mental health issues and eating enough protein/vegetables and I've found that frozen meals, while they do tend to have a lot of salt and fat, do also have a lot of protein and other nutrients. I really like healthy choice cafe steamer orange chicken, it's not too large of a portion, has some veggies and chicken in it, and it takes four minutes to heat in the microwave. I eat one almost every day. There are brands that make really high protein meals though!

the last few months, i have been buying a portion of premade meat or cooking something like chicken and cutting it up to eat it as a snack, a meal, or to add to something. when im super lazy i bust out a portion of it. get a helping of protein that will satiate you for a good amount of time.
for example, the current one in my fridge is the premade pork carnitas from aldi (about 3 portions)

It's a rare finding, let me tell you. Don't you feel like it's kinda cheating when you give me a high-protein recipe and it includes protein powder? Like DUH it'll have high-protein, cmon!

Upping my protein has made a big difference for my motivation, mental health, and general eating habits. Highly recommend
