Want to eat healthier but recipes still say microwave

I live alone and don't cook. All my main meals are microwave. People tell me it's not good for me & I do feel constantly bloated. I want to eat healthier but even the cooking sites show meals to microwave. I don't get it. Can anyone recommend meals? I assume they mean oven heated. While I appreciate anyone taking the time…

The first time I boiled an egg I got it wrong! My mum told me to time it 4 mins from when the bubbles started. I mistook the tiny bubbles for what I now know are boiling bubbles and served up nearly raw eggs. Now I love cooking, I don't get to do as much as I'd like (working away a lot) but I find it fulfilling and relaxing. Everyone starts somewhere and you find your own short cuts and favorites.
