What is your current weight and goal weight?
As far as cooking goes, just start simple. /ck/ is decent if you can handle the bantz, and pretty much everyone who's lived on their own has had to learn to cook so that's a plus. Just make every meal on your own and you'll get better. For techniques and some good recipes check out FoodWishes on youtube. If something sounds good, look up a recipe and follow the directions, it's really that simple. You won't be great at first, but within a couple months you'll have the techniques down and will be able to make multiple meals very well. Go buy a decent set of cookware and a bunch of different spices.
To help you get started, two easy meals that will help you lose weight are chili con carne and chicken, broccoli, and rice. You can find a million simple chili recipes online and /fit/ always has /crb/ threads for chicken. Good luck anon

Learn how to make staples, like rice, oats, yam/potato, beans etc. I get told I eat "so healthy" frequently, when all I do is eat simple unprocessed foods like those

Invest in a rice cooker and crock pot, and gradually try recipes. Don't have to make something new all the time, I usually cook for 3 lunches in a row, oats for breakfast

Learn how to marinate 6 chicken breasts. Then meal prep for a week. Rinse and repeat for the rest of you're life and adjust accordingly

It's true, OP. The best foods for you are some of the easiest to cook if you want to keep them healthy.

You can bake chicken and steam/boil broccoli pretty easily. Yams and potatoes are also just a matter of applying heat. Start with things like that. Then as you feel comfortable doing that, learn to make rice properly (honestly you'll probably fuck something up the first couple of times -- it'll still be edible but it won't be the best). You can then move on to learn methods like pan roasting, grilling, sous vide, whatever.

But just remember -- the easiest way is often the healthiest. Chicken. Vegetables. Apply heat. Enjoy.
