    Another super easy method to eat healthy is freezer meals! You just throw all ingredients in a freezer bag, and when you want to eat it, unthaw in the fridge overnight and throw it in the crock pot for the day. This was my life savior during the spring when I had class all day. I would come home and food would be done. There are some super yummy recipes out there and requires little work.

    Ok...less cooking. We can do this!

    This is one of my favorite lunches for work, especially because one prep session = 4 meals. No cooking involved. I usually add a few Kettle chips and some unsweetened tea, for about 350 calories. http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/salmon_salad_sandwiches.html

    This one is technically a salad, but I've never found it very...salad-y. Also no cooking involved. I'll be real honest and say I buy lime juice in the little squeeze bottles in the produce section and leave out the cilantro. I get 231 calories, via MFP. https://www.eatthismuch.com/recipe/view/chicken-and-avocado-salad,33519/

    For this one you have to boil pasta, and you probably want to add a vegetable of some kind to be really healthy. I get 201 calories per serving as written, via MFP. https://www.eatthismuch.com/recipe/view/veggie-tuna-mac,48545/

    I haven't made this yet, but I'm planning on it next week. Maybe pizza would be worth a little cooking? http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/broccoli_rabe_chicken_white_pizza.html

    Frozen spinach and cheese ravioli...all you do is warm the spinach with some oil in a skillet while boiling the ravioli, for 263 calories. http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/florentine_ravioli.html

    If you like Mexican food, this one is nice. You mix up a filling of black beans, cheese, salsa, and avocado, put it in tortillas, and heat them in a skillet. If you want you could skip the skillet and heat them in the microwave. EatingWell says 377 calories. http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/black_bean_quesadillas.html

    The other thing is if you bake chicken or white fish, you can easily add seasonings to make it a different taste on different days. I like doing a little honey with some butter, black pepper and a generous amount of cayenne pepper; or cover the filets with spinach and douse liberally with vanilla extract with a bit of salt. Spices like cayenne, garlic, black pepper, etc are basically free, so play with them. I often just smell the bottle to see whether it smells like what I'm in the mood for.

    Mmm thanks for that

    That is the most amazing low calorie meal I have every seen. So beautiful. :mrgreen:
    I am curious about the quinotto.[/quote]

    Thanks so much! The quinotto reminds me of grits in a way, but it is quinoa and chia seed with a little cream and parm? I buy it prepackaged at the health store. Here is my dinner from tonight:
    Sirloin with balsamic and Gorgonzola, roasted squash and zucchini, and a baker with a hatch chili sour cream topper that I made! :) 546 calories for it all!

    Okay okay. I do apologize for my absence this week. I have been busy... With my cooking skills. That's right. So many people have been messaging me and sending me links for cooking and now I feel like a pro. I've had posta or before heavy training days and lean proteins, plenty of delicious salads, smoothies, deserts. The MFP community is truly to kind to me. You guys are awesome and I truly am grateful for all the help. If there is anything I can help with just let me know. I'm not the most fit person I know but I've tried to keep as many people motivated daily as I can. Thank you for all the encouragement. Tomorrow is Monday I think I'm going to have some soup. Any recommendations?

    In this weather?! I like gazpacho with a huge dollop of guacamole (or half an avocado, diced). http://www.chow.com/recipes/29595-basic-tomato-gazpacho
