Poor people work a lot so they need readymade food and historically McDonald’s was cheap readymade food. I’m flat broke right now until payday and making my own food out of what I have in the pantry is consuming a lot of my time between shifts

Make sure you make very large portions. Cook enough pasta for 5 meals, then put 4 in the fridge. Those four reheat quickly in the microwave. Beef stew? 10 portions. Steak? 3 portions. Same for everything else, don’t just make single portions, make extra then eat it later as a quick meal. Cooking takes significantly less time this way. And is way, way faster than waiting at a McDonald’s.
