Relevant video linked. Do some prep (chop veggies, cook meat, make pasta/rice/carbs) in one afternoon but actually assemble the meals throughout the week. Also get a bunch of low-sugar sauces at the store. Mix and match based on what you feel like that night.
Or, assuming you can afford it/have the option, just don't cook. Either do frozen, takeout, or get someone in your life to make it for you. Cutting out sugar is hard enough, why make the process any harder than it has to be?

I never believed the meal prep hype. I used to prefer cooking a larger dinner and taking leftovers for lunch instead. No leftovers? I'll hop to the nearby supermarket and spend €5 on a "healthy" freezer meal.
However, since the new year started I've been bulk prepping at least 10 days' worth of burritos every other Sunday and it's made my work days much easier to plan for, even if my Sundays are slightly busier. I found a recipe that's healthy, tasty, and pretty low-effort in the meal prepping process. I'll probably play around with flavours in the future, but I like the strategy of just tossing chopped vegetables in the oven for 40 minutes and cooking a black bean filling on the stove for 10. It's all about finding the right burrito "blueprint" that lets you play around with ingredients and flavours when you, inevitably, get bored of eating the same lunch every day. But yes, I'm now part of the bulk-prepping burrito brigade.

One of the few apps with no ephemeral "story" feature or whatever so you don't need to check it every 24 hours. Cherish this.

It's just like John Swartzwelder said:
"Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible […] Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done."
