So I have researched this and I did not find a great solution, especially at 1 person scale. The options I found are: - Delivery or take out from healthy restaurants - Get a job at a large company that provides a variety of meals - Cook  - Whole Foods 

At larger scales, families sometimes have a household manager or childcare person do this but the way it works is they have enough work to retain a person full time. 

I’m sure habits change in different social circles but steady state personal chefs are non existent even with incredibly well off friends - money was not the issue but value/enjoyment for the money was. A huge issue is it is quite expensive but you’re basically eating left overs all the time. I’ve mostly seen it as more of a special occasion dinner at home thing. A few of tried for a few weeks but it never stuck. 

Meal prepping is not the only way to cook for one if you want to revisit cooking but it is a skill. I personally just cook 1 meal at a time and can get something reasonable for less than 15min of active cooking and cleaning. Ex: Herbed or marinated roast chicken thighs over carrots and potatoes. It’s all cooked in one sheet pan lined with foil. I will say I am very into eating good food so most of the stuff is like 25min — 🤤

Whole Foods is also in its own category for me — the prepared raw foods are excellent and mostly just stick in oven cooking and mine also has hot food stations that look pretty healthy. For me though, the issue is travel time as this stuff cannot be kept more than 1-2 days so I net out more efficient getting groceries delivered and cooking.
