Buffalo chicken quinoa bites over spinach. Lots of protein and super delicious!

Normally an 8oz lamb burger with some kind of smoked pork product on top....crispy pork belly when I can get it or make it.

vypressme

Easy veggie soup recipe
In a big pot boil chopped onion,celery, carrots in one box of chicken stock until slightly tender.
Add another box chicken stock, then add one jar of whole tomatoes torn apart, sliced yellow and green squash, chopped red pepper, cabbage. Salt, pepper or other spices. This will get better each day and two cups for a nutritious meal will fill you up and keep you on target for weight loss. For those who want more protein eat chicken, nuts, cottage cheese etc. this is just my go to meal that keeps it real.

This is not easy. Chopping onions, celery, carrots, and tearing a jar of whole tomatoes is not easy. Add to that slicing yellow and green squash (did you mean to say zucchini?) chopping red pepper, and cabbage, and whew! you've burned up more calories than you will eat. Much easier to get a can of spaghetti sauce and add frozen mixed vegetables to it. That's easy.

Chopping veggies is... hard? And you're always on about people being too lazy to exercise?

Spaghetti sauce with frozen veggies just made my Italian grandmother roll over in her grave.

My "volume" meal is about 260 grams of spiralized zucchini with Explore Asian mung bean and edamame fettucini and mushrooms or red pepper and tomato sauce. It makes a huge bowl of food.

A salmon fillet with steamed sweet potatoes and broccoli. +butter.

I had salmon with spinach tonight and was left feeling starving

My high volume dinner is 150 grams of zucchini, 150 grams yellow squash, 75 grams tomato, 50 grams mushroom, 50 grams onion, garlic -all cooked with chalula chipotle hot sauce, along with 6 oz of ground turkey...all stirred together with a laughing cow cheese (which ends up making a delicious creamy sauce with the chipotle sauce). Bout 400 calories depending on how/if any oil you use, etc.

I'm a vegetarian and would leave out the meat, but the idea of a sauce forming out of the cheese and hot sauce sounds so good that I have to think of some way to do something with this idea.

Your sauce sounds delicious. Thanks!

3 oz. rotisserie chicken breast, no skin, chopped up. A stalk of celery, a few handfuls of lettuce or spinach, about 5 diced grapes, a sprinkle of chopped almonds. Then I add a dressing of 1 T. olive oil mayo, a bit of Dijon, and some red wine vinegar. I mix it all up and eat it with a slice of whole grain bread... I put some of the salad in the sandwich, then eat the rest with a fork. It's about 400 calories.

Oh I did it tonight without the meat, and with spinach added. Was still yummy. Ate it with a spoon.

melissaw78

for breakfast, 1/3 cup quick oats made with water, add in a small sliced banana and a bit of cinnamon.

for dinner, 2 four oz tilapia fillets and whatever veggies appeal to me at the time.

Francl27

Low carb tortilla with either lunch meat and cheese, or avocado, peppers, spinach and shrimp.

lulucitron

I had a big egg/veggie scramble last night before my run that was filling.
In 1/2tbsp olive oil, threw in some garlic, onion, asparagus, spinach, celery, 1/2c wholegrain brown rice, 2 eggs and scrambled it all together.

keelyjrs

Scrambled eggs in a pan, chuck in some bacon and mushrooms, Worcester sauce and salt n pepper. That was my free meal I lived off when I was on slimming world

keelyjrs

Pack of quick noodles, mushrooms and bean sprouts with soy sauce light yum

Half an avocado on Ezekiel toast with strawberries.

KristinaG_is_losing_it

roasted broccoli/cauliflower/yams with coconut oil and seasonings (garlic/paprika/cayenne) and chicken sausage sliced up and pan fried with coconut oil spray. I usually make enough for a couple lunches/dinners.

HumboldtFred

I make a giant egg white omelet with spinach, caramelized onions, peppers, FF cottage cheese, a slice or two of turkey bacon and salsa. Sometimes I will caramelize a bunch of bean sprouts in a bit of soy sauce as a chutney to dump on top. Its filling and good.

Bump for later! Love this post.

For real meals, depends too much on personal preferences.

For a quick snack:
mix a can of tuna or a container of greek yogurt with unsalted (or lightly salted if tuna) shelled seeds or nuts.

Not much volume but it's quite filling and tasty.

eatsyork

If I'm tight on calories or it's early in the day I do a scrambled egg or two with a piece of ham, bacon, or pepperoni and a sprinkle of cheese. I could eat this three times a day. I'm an egg and salty meat kind of person.

If I'm not tight on calories my quick go-to is a big hamburger patty (cooked from frozen for quick prep), topped with cheese, with Brussels sprouts (also from the freezer) and butter on the side.

lydiakitten

A lean cut of lemonpeppered turkey with a cup of sweet corn mixed with wild rice is a favourite, and also sauteed brussels sprouts with leek and/or spinach in lightly salted goat butter, with an egg or two thrown on top of the frying pan before turning the fire down.

LittleJem01

A low fat Cumberland sausage with a slice of thick cut smoked back bacon and a poached egg in a wholemeal wrap with a little tomato ketchup. Full-on comfort food for 310 calories, and if I'm extra hungry I'll double up on the sausage and bacon and it's still only 431. My idea of heaven

suruda

Chicken breast, some potato or sweet potato (if I have calories to spare) covered in a sautéed mushrooms with a little gravy. I sautee 2 cups of sliced mushroom, add some powdered gravy and then a cup of water to make a mushroom gravy. I'm sure it is high sodium but it makes a bowl of delicious!

jamie_reynolds

i love sauteeing spinach, onions and cannellini beans/chickpeas, adding lots of balsamic vinegar and crushed red pepper and then serving this mixture over a baked sweet potato. delicious, satisfying and very nutritious.

DianaLovesCoffee

Bfast = oatmeal, scrambled egg with onions and peppers
Lunch = Greek yogurt, apple or banana, cucumber slices
Dinner = Grilled Chicken, Rice or Sweet Potato, veggies (salad or zucchini or broccoli)
Snack = hard boiled eggs and 1/2 apple or yogurt fruit smoothie or 1/2 cup ice cream

likehlikeo

I put a big amount of frozen broccoli in a non stick pan and add some soy sauce. I wait until almost done, then I add tofu and tomatoes. Nothing else. I may be weird, but it is amazing with a huge portion of mustard on the side.

Oatmeal is one of the most satisfying things on the planet for me, and it's quick to prepare: zap in the microwave and you're done. Potatoes tend to keep me full for ages and don't require much to prepare, I just wash them, cut them into quick wedges, toss them with olive oil, rosemary and garlic and into the oven.

Cereal with almond milk. Or a tomato sandwich and glass of almond milk. Or an egg white omelet. With almond milk.
