To unpack somewhat - I don't mean just eat a heap of it - too many input calories vs whatever your output calories are is still bad.
But fats, of any kind, pretty much are "extremely low GI" in metabolic terms. This means if you eat some amount of fats, you have a continuous source of calories that your body will burn. This will actually reduce your need for snacking.
The other thing that I do is cook chopped meats in bulk - chicken thighs or boned maryland fillets are particularly good for this purpose. I even use dried garlic bits, just apply them to the wet meat, throw the whole lot (I usually do 2-3 kilos worth) in the oven in a tray with a bit of white pepper and salt to taste.
Then it's easy to add some to a sandwich, or noodles, or even just on top of basmati rice with some frozen peas. Voila, balanced meal, near zero cooking.
ETA: Err, obviously this advice is inappropriate if you're vegetarian, I've forgotten if you are or not. If you are, roasted tofu of the right kind works well too, actually. I can provide more details if anyone is interested.
