Rice + raw egg + soy sauce + eaten with nori sheets = yum!!
Broccoli pan steamed in a bit of chicken broth.0 -
I buy a bunch of bags of frozen berries and split them up into Tupperware cereal bowls (each bowl gets a bunch of different berries - Oh, and cherries, too. Frozen cherries, too.)
Each night, I move one from the freezer to the fridge. It gets eaten for breakfast about 36 hours later. I crumble some Nature Valley Crunchy Granola, Apple Crisp flavor into it and YUM! Sometimes I add golden raisins.
There is a little work involved when I get home from the grocery store, but it doesn't get much easier than that, meal-wise.0 -
6 oz of ground turkey in the skillet. A few hundred grams of zucchini and yellow squash in another (onions and garlic too). Takes about...8-10 minutes. I put hot sauce on it. It's a weird meal but I hate cooking and it tastes good...also, like 400 calories for dinner.0

Can you spend a few hours on a Sunday afternoon? I have two teenage boys, a full time job and a husband who travels--not a lot of time here either!!! Make a pot of some kind of grain--brown rice, quinoa, farro and spelt are biggies here. Then prep a crock pot with some kind of dry beans--black or pinto mostly. Monday morning plug in the crock pot so the beans are done by the time you get home from work on Monday. Keep whole grain tortillas and shredded cheese on hand. Maybe make a pot of noodles too. Then throughout the week you can do beans and rice (or whatever grain you made) with cheese on top, quesadillas--with or without the beans inside, noodles with either just steamed veggies and cheese or actual red sauce. Keep bags of fresh chopped veggies in the fridge--the kind that you can steam in the bag. Scrambled eggs with veggies and cheese (I don't do the cheese--too many calories for not enough payoff)--you can do the eggs as is or rolled in a tortilla, or scrambled with the beans and some veggies. If you are feeling really ambitious on Sunday make a big baked pasta that you can portion out for lunches or dinners--I do a baked mac and cheese with whole wheat noodles, tofu (blended in the sauce), shredded carrots and low fat cheese. We are vegetarians, so all of that is veggie friendly. Of course keep veggie burgers, veggie breakfast sausages, veggie chicken nuggets, veggie hot dogs-whatever of that you like to have on the side of whatever you put together.0

I eat a lot of canned salmon...no cooking necessary. Sometimes I add it to a salad. Sometimes I just eat it with some microwaved vegetables. Sometimes I mix it with cottage cheese.0
