I really feel you on this, my own mum is exactly the same way and it can feel so suffocating even though you know her heart is in the right place. She was more concerned with giving me healthy food. What helped us was framing it as a treat for the whole family rather than a replacement for her cooking, like telling her we are ordering outside food specifically so she can have a night off to rest, because somehow that lands better than just dabao-ing without explanation. It took a few tries but she slowly started to accept it leh, so maybe just keep gently nudging and she might come around over time.
