Watch videos of recipes instead of just reading recipes. It’s way clearer. And search for things like “easy” and “fast” and you should find decent starter meals to make. Or just order in!
I've actually been using it as an opportunity to further grow my cooking skills. I've always been adequate (my mom taught my how to cook/grocery shop before going to college). Now I've been playing around with more challenging recipes and techniques.
If you're not sure how to do something, YouTube it. Tons of videos available.

Pinterest is my best friend!! I search quick healthy meals, meal prep, best ____ meal, etc. and have a board of all of my potential dinner/ lunch foods. I suck at taking care of myself so some weeks I suck, but other weeks I actually take care of my body haha.
I’ve found meal prep on Sundays makes me feel better about the food I’m creating because I can actually pick some healthy stuff and thinking about a meal as a whole. At the end of the day eating right isn’t about if you can cook, it’s if you can plan. You’ll shop better with a planned list you make beforehand, and then just cut up or measure out everything before dumping it altogether and viola, you’re a cook.
I stopped overeating when I had something planned for each meal (including dessert) and actually started feeling like I was doing right by my body.
Plus picking better snacks like hummus and carrots, pre-made smoothies and stuff can help you ensure that even when overeating you’re still getting some good stuff out of it.
For me, it’s not an issue of not knowing how but rather not wanting to! haha I don’t like figuring out what to make and I don’t particularly like cooking. My significant other and I have been using Hello Fresh for the last 2-3 years and LOVE it. It cuts down our food waste, forces us to eat healthy (most of the time), reduces how often we have to shop, gives us a variety of meals, etc. We are both attorneys and work long hours so it’s hard to have time to shop for food, figure out what to make, and have time to cook it. The meals take between 20-45 minutes to make, so it works great with our (normally) busy schedules. Some critics say it costs more than going to the grocery store, which might be true. But to me it seems like we waste a lot less food and do a lot less impulse shopping, so I think it balances out in the end. And for us, the convenience is worth it. It’s also made us both more confident in the kitchen and understanding what flavors go well together.
It’s a great skill to work on now :)

My wife is pregnant and her morning sickness got bad right about the beginning of quarantine. She is our usual chef and I am hopeless in the kitchen and had not cooked a meal in 11 or 12 years. I've managed to feed myself but it hasn't been pretty! Lots of salads, steamed veggies and pasta. Usually just a PB&J or leftovers for lunch.

I do not like cooking in the slightest. It's a total pain in the ass so I prefer to just do things that are easy to make and easy cleanup/dishwashing.

Doing something like Blue Apron is a great way to transition into cooking. They send you exactly what you need (minus salt and olive oil). Plus a lot of times they even give videos on the app for tips like how to chop certain things, etc.
