    Chicken and corn soup, with our without actual chicken. I keep homemade chicken stock in 500ml containers in the freezer. Thaw one in a saucepan with a can of creamed corn and a frozen chicken wing or two, or a thigh or a breast (if I have them). When it's simmering I add a raw egg and stir it through.

    forgot about this. LOVE THIS SOUP!!

    Tomato soup and toasted cheese. (Tomato soup: canned tomatoes, olive oil, basil, garlic. I put all of that in a pot and use my immersion blender to make it smooth as it heats.)

    Hummus and pita chips or crunchy bread sticks. This will take the edge off the hunger for me so I won't be tempted to eat everything in the fridge.

    Some of these sound way too annoying/complex to be an emergency meal. More like...regular dinner. At least the home made soup.

    Chicken quesadilla usually. I keep cooked chicken in the freezer most of the time.
    How do you make these?

    Can you cook ready cooked chicken straight from the freezer?

    I soak it in lukewarm water for a bit to help thaw, or use the microwave if I'm super hungry.

    I just get a tortilla, cut up the chicken, toss in some cheese and throw it in a frying pan. You don't even need to add butter or anything. Everything gets all melty and delicious.

    I have never had these, they sound nice, where can I find a nice low calorie recipe please

    You don't really need a recipe.

    I take two small tortillas (110 cals each), put one face down in the frying pan (medium heat). Sprinkle cheese (about two ounces of cheddar, 200ish calories) and cooked chicken (2 ounces, roughly 75 calories) - then I put the other tortilla on top. Let warm 4-5 minutes, until cheese starts to melt, and flip. Let cook another 4-5 minutes, and it's done.

    I'll also throw some vegetables in, or a different sort of meat, or a different cheese blend. It's really up to you.

    Maybe I didn't describe it well enough?

    Maybe? Anyway, yum. Didn't know you could make them so low cal. Though that wouldn't be enough food for me.

    I cook my dinners for the week in one or two sittings and keep it in the freezer. Tuna with eggs are usually my go to if I don't feel like eating my premade stuff, cooking, or going out.

    - eggs
    - a hunk of ham and bread (no spread or anything, just some ham wedged into a slice of bread)
    - cottage cheese and nuts
    - seriously desperate and on the way home: pizza slice

    We can usually pull together a tuna salad. Sometimes we add boiled eggs.

    I cook a pot of something on the weekend and will just heat up some of that (beans, soup, lentils, etc.). Often when reheating I'll chuck in some fresh veggies, nuts, raisins, cheese, turkey, whatever I have on hand.

    Reheat some scrambled egg muffins,, eat as is or make an egg sandwich

    Turkey sandwich with a salad (I alway have fresh veggies on hand) and some fruit

    Hot cereal or oatmeal

    Throw together a large salad and add chopped turkey, cheese, nuts, dried fruit, beets, etc.

    Ham and cheese on a folded tortilla, throw it in the microwave for 15 seconds to melt the cheese.

    I try to put a serving of various things in the freezer as I cook them, like chili, pasta and soups or stews. I'm currently low on freezer meals so it's time to get cooking!

    quest bar, string cheese and a banana. It's in my lunch box every single work day. I also like premade salad meals that they sell at my local grocery store.
