    Try miracle noodles(aka shirataki noodles, pasta zero) with laughing cow cheese wedges with a little meat( I add rotisserie chicken) and steamed broccoli. Butternut squash is also really easy to microwave and eat!

    Bring all to a boil.

    Chicken w/roasted veggies

    Roast Onions, Bell Peppers, and Tomatoes together w/Very small amount of oil until cooked and tender. (I actually cook my veggies when I'm cooking chicken or brisket. Always drain.) You can use any quantity of these items. They can be used in just about any recipe or just on salads.

    Use approx. 11oz of roasted veggie mix
    1 Large can (10oz) of canned Chicken breast in water
    Heat in pan.
    Split in 4 servings - - Calories 83 - Fat 1gram - Cholesterol 38mg - Sodium 325mg - Protein 11g

    I use this as topping for salad. Also can be used for tacos.

    Do you have a microwave?

    I pick up a rotisserie chicken, a bag salad, and some wraps like once a week and eat chicken and salad wraps. You can also microwave yourself some zucchini with pasta sauce. If you like breakfast for dinner then cook some oatmeal in the microwave. Heck, I even make a little flourless chocolate cake in the microwave. 1 egg, 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Stir in mug. Microwave 45-60 seconds. boom. the cake is 210 calories.

    1 pckg shirataki noodles (0-20cals)
    1 bag frozen stir fry vegetables (120 cals)
    3-4 tbsp lite soy sauce (30-45 cals, but watch the sodium!)
    1/2 cup Protein: chicken or tofu (about 100 cals)

    Saute it all in one non-stick pan with some Pam spray and voila! Delicious if you like stir frys and superrrr easy
