My husband's cousin, a single mother, spends her Sundays cooking for the week. She labels containers and categorizes them in her fridge according to protein, veg and carb, so that her family can quickly mix and match for lunchboxes and quick reheating.

That's how she survived hungry kids, bedtimes and working full-time.

I suggest you give your son, or whoever it is, a cooking book that lays out how to do this. I learned to cook when my first child was little. It wasn't something I learned at home. Your married bachelor, with all the insult it implies towards his wife, can learn to do all of this, even while burdened with a y chromosome.

I know a family like this.  The woman is on social media all day, while the husband works from home, does all of the housework and does almost all childcare for their two kids.  It is perfectly fine to believe that married people should each contribute to the family, barring serious illness.  OP wants to lighten his load and I think that's great.

Not sure how much you want to spend, but you could consider sending some meals for their child from nurture life. They are organic, meant for kids (but in a healthy way - like penne bolognese or teriyaki salmon) and pretty good.  I actually sent these to my elderly grandma during the pandemic when she couldn't get grocery delivery.  This would make it easy to pull something out of the fridge to heat up when he gets home for work and would relieve the time pressure of getting food prepared.
