What is YOUR "go-to meal"?

MrsMKB

Hey ladies and gents! Tomorrow is my one-week-aversary and I am PUMPED! ... I asked a question to those on my friends list and had a lot of fun reading everyone's ideas, so I thought I'd repost here to get even more input
Also, while I've got your attention- if you are an active MFP user, please feel free to add me for mutual support and encouragement!

QUESTION:
What is your "go-to meal"? What is that one meal that keeps you on track because it hits all your cravings and is perfectly healthy/promotes your weight loss goals? ... Mine is my homemade tuna salad, with a variety of gluten-free crackers and cucumbers on the side, or my homemade turkey "taco" salad!

For lunch, I chop broccoli and cauliflower and use it as my "base" for salads instead of lettuce. Then I add a protein: hard-boiled egg, some chicken or turkey, some cheese, or some nuts.

For supper, a favorite is chicken and broccoli. If I'm low on fiber, I'll have peas instead of broccoli. But having chicken and a veggie is definitely my "go-to" for supper.

Turkey, dried cranberry and feta cheese wrap with a pile of chopped veggies. It's my go-to lunch. I even put a picture of it on my profile page in case I forget what a really tasty lunch looks like and start thinking a trip to McDonald's is a good idea.

sockeye salmon ( the real deal not farm raised) with my honey dijon glaze, roasted broccoli, roasted baby carrots (real baby carrots with the green tops on, roasted as well( taste like cnady when roasted) I could eat it every night. I also love my shake in the am with wild blueberries!

AngelZealot

I love my protein too! The perfect breakfast for me is one egg, 2 egg whites, some mozzarella cheese and spinach over a whole wheat waffle!! Delicious!

GrooveAndImprove

Maybe not a meal, but I still absolutely love it (and crave it!):
Hummus and carrots.

Sounds good! I like salads with lots of veggies and protein. But I'd rather eat peanut butter sandwiches every day.

I whole wheat quesadilla, with low fat mozzarella cheese, turkey breast, and loads of jalapeños. Salsa picante sauce if I'm feeling extra spicy. With Special K chips because I adore chips.

I love tuna!!<3 my go to meal for awhile was tacos... They don't take long to make... Meat for protein, add the veggies to the top, but i got sooo sick of them! I need a new go to meal lol.

Steak fried up with a chopped onion and bell pepper, maybe an egg also!

Steff46

I love to cook up a sirloin tip roast (with balsamic vinegarette) in my crock pot and shred it. I then use it for wraps, tacos,or salads.....or just plain eat it out of a bowl........yum!

Nataliegetfit

Lately it's been a toasted and buttered fried egg sandwich or peanut butter. I go through phases like this. Making a fried egg sammy right now.

Cabbage soup with Smoked turkey sausage in it, so good!

martyqueen52

8 oz. slow cooked chicken breast in BBQ sauce, 1 box of steamers veggie baby blend, and two light and fit yogurt cups. Almost a DAILY lunch staple.... love it.

AngryViking1970

A Morningstar Farms spicy black bean burger topped with shredded sharp cheddar and an over easy egg. Salsa on the side. I love me a runny egg yolk.

Francl27

A wrap made with a low carb tortilla typically, with some deli meat and cheese (sometimes an egg) and a box of frozen Green Giant veggies on the side. That's probably my lunch actually.

Homemade turkey burgers, salsa chicken, or skinny chicken parmesan!

There is my garbage bowl I have twice a day; boneless-skinless chicken breast, brown rice, spinach/kale mixed, eggs/egg whites/sweet potato mixture. Add a piece of fruit on the side and it helps me stay on track of my calories, fats, carbs, and protein

For breakfast, oatmeal with peanut butter and toasted almonds.
For lunch, tabouleh with no added oil.
For dinner, something low cal from the crock pot so I don't have to obsess about food all day and can get on with my life.

pinkslipblues

For breakfast: English Muffin with an egg white and half of a cheese slice - about 155 calories, 13 grams protein, tastes good and is filling!

I by pre-cut "Stir Fry" veggies in the produce section: Broccoli, Carrots & Snow Peas and large frozen shrimp (peeled and deveined). Stir fry it with a little EVOO and cajun seasoning... Low cal (~350), low carb, high protein and FAST! Heat skillet add 1 T EVOO and veggies cook ~ 8 Minutes. Add 10- 12 large shrimp and Cajun seasoning, toss with veggies for a minute or 2. Put a lid on and steam 2 more minutes. Done and delicious!

Buffalo chicken stuffed peppers - red peppers sliced in half, blanched. Saute mushrooms and onions until soft. Set aside. Saute chicken strips. Put mushrooms and onions in with chicken. Add Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce. Spoon into pepper halves, add a little sprinkle of mozz, toss under broiler until cheese is brown and bubbly. Low carb, high protein. Way delish.

Also, fish 'tacos'. Tilapia that has been cooked and flaked with a squeeze of lemon. And guac sauce - plain greek yogurt, avocado, lime juice, cayenne, salt and pepper in the blender (add water to thin if needed). Blend until smooth. Pour into bowl and mix in chopped cilantro and tomatoes. Roll tilapia topped with sauce in romaine leaves.
