    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 :smiley:

    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!

    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.

    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.
