My jobs don’t have “work as long as you like” schedules. You work until the day is done - even if you’d rather be cooking. I’m up at 5 to start the day and don’t get home until 8 or 9 most nights. With so little time at home, I don’t have 30 minutes to dedicate to cooking.
Yeah - I could spend my weekend cooking and cleaning, but then my life would entirely be working or prepping for the week in which I’ll be working. I need to have some time that’s for me.
I have, on several occasions, realized I was waiting longer for ‘fast food’ than it takes to make the food myself at a quarter the price. ‘Fast food’ is no longer fast or cheap, which were pretty much the only two things it had going for it.
What if you worked an entire day less, or quit one of your jobs? Maybe the savings from groceries wouldn’t quite make up for it, but you would have the rest of the day to fill the rest of the shortfall. I can’t imagine your medical expenses are looking great with all the stress you must be under, maybe 10 hours of simple rest would be enough.

Wow. That’s only extremely illegal here.
Having required hours or multiple jobs is illegal?
Having a shitty commute is illegal?
You can meal prep on one of your days off. Would take an hour or two. Then you’re set for the week and off the fast junk food that’s bleeding you dry

I think some people are trying to solve your “problem” but you’ve already balanced it out and what you’re doing works for you.
