What I like to do when I buy many of my vegetables is to cut them up into slices and then freeze them in freezer bags. That's so the vegetables will not only last a whole lot longer but I can also skip a step in preparing my meal. I can just dump the cut up vegetables in my pan and save time when cooking.

As for the chicken, most grocery stores sell premade rotisserie chicken for about $4-7 dollars for the whole chicken. If you live on your own the rotisserie chicken should last for a few days. You can cut up leftovers to use for a sandwich or stir fry.

Do you have any more specific questions?

I tend to eat pretty healthy and low fat meals.

easiest way is to look up youtube etc tutorials, where they show you HOW to cook, so you can't fuck up
cooking is experimenting, try something simple, a basic recipe, if you like it, start adding shit to it

for example, 2-3 times a week i prepare an omelette for breakfast
i used to just do eggs+fresh veggies
now i add ham, onion and different colored bell-peppers, fry that shit up, then i add the eggs
super tasty and inexpensive for me
add some high fiber content bread with meat or just on its own, some cucumbers, salad, tomatoes=healthy(i think) and delicious breakfast
