You can't mess up a stir fry, and they only take a few minutes to make, buy some vegetables, lots of big grocery stores even have pre cut ones if you're no good with a knife, some chicken or beef, once again you should be able to find some pre-cut, but it's usually more expensive. Fry it all up in a pan with some oil and garlic, and dump it on a pile of rice or ramen noodles and you're set.
And there's nothing wrong with pasta either, you can make your own sauce pretty easily, there are millions of recipies on the net, and you can make enough for 3 or 4 servings and then just re-heat as needed. If you don't want to make your own sauce, most of the premade bottled stuff is pretty good too.
There's probably tons of other stuff waiting to be discovered at your local grocery store too, frozen pizzas, pre-cut salad kits (I swear by this stuff) There's all kinds of other stuff out there that takes 10 minutes of work to cook, you just have to look around.
The best part is, it's all cheaper than takeout, and once you know what you're doing, usually better tasting.
