I do this too. It's not that I can't cook...it's more two things I think:
1) Getting home at 7 or 7:30 I don't want to have to cook. If/when I get a new job and I'm home significantly before 7 it'll be different.
2) It's real easy to calorie-count if you're using something like those Healthy Choice (my fav) frozen entrees, or Lean Cuisine (the steamable ones are actually tasty). I can pull one out and go "220 calories for dinner...check" versus having to figure out how much chicken, how much rice, etc.
