Ready meals: go to Sainsburys and have a look at their "my goodness!" range -- other supermarkets probably/likely do similar foods but I've found that Sainsburys is, y'know, good. They do things like a roast chicken dinner (285kcal), chilli prawn linguini (391kcal), mushroom risotto (349kcal), pulled pork & sweet potato mash (305kcal). All are reasonable in terms of protein and carbs, lowish in fat (mainly sat fat), but are a bit pricey (£2-£3.25) and can be a bit high in salt (~1.3-1.8g per pack).

Similarly, their stonebaked pizzas are pretty reasonable per half-pizza -- 382kcal for 1/2 chicken & pesto, 540kcal for 1/2 hot & spicy. Serve that up with a bit low-cal salad. Again, salt is a little bit high.

Iceland. I know it might have a bit of an odd reputation (that they're trying to improve), but their "meals in a bag" are another option. Each bag is 2 portions, and calorie counts are from 293 (fajita mix, though I'd toss in some tortillas and toppings) to 517kcal a serving (chicken & bacon creamy pasta). Iceland also sell Slimming World and Weight Watchers meals.

For grabbing on the go, McDonald's grilled chicken wraps are ~330kcal each (grilled, not crispy -- stating this again because the difference is ~130kcal). Add a small fries and a water or diet soft drink and you're looking at ~700kcal without extra dipping sauces. By my rough estimates your TDEE is ~3800, so a 700kcal meal is 1/4 of your 2800kcal intake to lose 2lb a week.

Visit /r/mealprepsunday for information on how to meal prep one day a week and get yourself a slow cooker (or, better, a multifunction electric cooker). Grab some of these meal prep containers and freeze them. Have a look at The Hairy Dieters Fast Food for ideas -- all the meals in that book require a max 30mins prep/cook, and some are slow cooker/pressure cooker recipes that you can set and forget.
