I work 12-hour shifts and have no energy to cook. What are quick healthy meals?

Quick meals that take under 10 minutes: scrambled eggs on toast with spinach, beans on toast with cheese, tuna pasta with sweetcorn, a jacket potato (microwave 8 minutes) with beans. None of these cost more than 2 pounds and they are all genuinely nutritious. Save the elaborate cooking for your days off.

I work 12-hour shifts too and meal prepping on my day off changed everything. I spend 2 hours on Sunday making: 1) A big pot of chicken curry (portions for 4 dinners). 2) Overnight oats in jars for breakfasts. 3) Wraps with pre-cooked chicken, salad, and hummus for lunches. Everything goes in the fridge or freezer. When I get home, it is 5 minutes to microwave a proper meal instead of waiting 30 minutes for a takeaway.
