I personally air on the side of making large portion of a meat, say chicken, and just making different variations with that pre-cooked meat through out the week. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes a night with pre-cooked chicken to do something like chicken and pasta, chicken quesadilla, chicken salad, chicken on top of salad, chicken sandwich etc. Unless you're making a multi dish or complicated meal cooking really doesn't take that long.
Last thing, I love doing sous vide and it takes actual prep time down a lot. I'll throw a steak in when I go to work, turn it on while I'm not home and it will be done when I get back; sear it for a minute and it is good to go.
In the meantime, you can microwave some frozen jasmine rice, veggies, or a mix of both. You can make baked sweet potatoes on the same air fryer though those take ~30 mins until they're nice and soft.
I could make this in bulk and freeze it, but there's no point, because it's so quick to make.
Meals made this way aren't the most exciting thing, but they're as tasty as you can be bothered to make them, are reasonably healthy, and extremely easy.
Spaghetti carbonara is also very quick to make.
