I plan my meals two weeks at a time so I know exactly what to buy at the store but I'm tired of eating the same meals! What's your favorite healthy meal you make? Links/recipes are encouraged!

I happen to eat a meal at breakfast that is fairly low in calories,filling and tastes pretty good. Its healthy for the most part in my opinion. But I usualy cook 2/3 cup of obrien potatoes in a small amount of butter and add 1/4 of onions,1/4 cup of green bell pepper and 1/4 cup of turkey sausage crumbles. So its a good source of protein and veggies in the morning.

Idk if your the type of person who like to do smoothies for breakfast but here's a link to a recipe for a sweet potato pie flavored smoothie that is very filling and makes a good breakfast smoothie or even good for a filling snack http://pin.it/nOoRPbu

Eggs for breakfast (I love eggs and never get tired of them!)
Tuna for lunch
Greek yogurt with protein powder and almonds for a snack
Beef or chicken with roasted veggies or a gigantic salad for dinner

Eggwhites with chopped turkey and a few dashes of hot sauce scrambled.

Tuna with a super small amount of mayo wrapped in green lettuce.

I love my breakfast. I make a delicious oatmeal. 1/4 oat bran, 1/4 rolled oats,1scoop protein powder, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1 small banana, and a mixture of Hempstead, flaxseed, and chia seed sprinkled on top. It keeps me full throughout my workout and all the way until lunch. My lunches and dinners are pretty boring since I never have time to cook. I just make a lot of rice and beans on Sundays and find random ingredients to mix in during the week. It just depends on what veggies I have that week

Breakfast: Peanut Butter and Banana French Toast (I use whole grain bread) This keeps me full and it doesn't feel heavy for a morning workout.

Lunch: Baked potato, cheddar cheese with sour cream or a veggie omelet with cheddar cheese, sour cream and picante sauce

Dinner: One of my favorites is so easy. One pound of beef stew meat with 1 beef bullion cube and water to cover meat half way. Simmer for 2 hours with lid. (I don't even flour and brown the meat before hand anymore). Accompanied by brown rice and broccoli. My husband likes his with brown gravy since he's not fond of brown rice.

Something I discovered when it comes to salads (in order to get my veggies in). Using a glass measuring cup and scissors, I cut my lettuce and spinach to make a "chopped salad". I can actually fill up on salad because visually it doesn't look like a lot so you keep chopping more. lol Add your other salad favorites and you got yourself a nice meal.

Hmm, I don't think I could pick a favorite healthy meal. For sure spaghetti with red sauce and venison meatballs would be one. But thick cut pork chops cook on the grill with cinnamon apples and collard greens would also be one. And I absolutely love brussel sprouts sautéed with smoked sausage. Chicken marsala is another favorite, as is pineapple, onion, arugula and hot Italian sausage pizza. And my husband makes the best blackened catfish I've ever tasted. That is a definite favorite with any veggie side. He also makes a mean jambalaya that I'd never say no too.

Geez, I could go on and on. Sorry I don't have any links but I don't use recipes when I cook.

Greek yogurt with protein powder

On another post, I think you were the one stating to freeze the two together and it tastes like ice cream. I definitely have to try that!! I love Greek yogurt!

sdelrie98

Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs (lightly salted) with 1/2 pink grapefruit on the side (Texas Sweet Scarlets are my favorite)
Or- wrap made with whole grain and flax tortilla, scrambled egg, pan warmed ham or turkey, shredded cheddar jack, and picante sauce. Can also put black or green olives.

Lunch: wrap: take a tortilla (I like either Extreme Wellness spinach and herb or Santa Fe homestyle whole grain and flax) and spread about a tablespoon of light cream cheese on it, sprinkle with about a tsp of finely chopped fresh green onion, top with about 2 oz of shredded grilled or pan cooked chicken breast, sprinkle with about an oz of shredded cheese of choice (depending on how I season the chicken; if with Mexican spices, I use Mexican style cheese, if I use Italian seasoning, I use Mozzarella and Parmesan, if I use Cajun seasoning, I use triple cheddar cheese), If I do the Italian wrap, I add fresh sliced mushrooms, if I make the Mexican wrap sometimes I use a little salsa and black olives, finally, I cover with a handful of organic mixed baby greens, wrap it up and enjoy. These wraps are very filling. And they are just as good sans cream cheese and/or green onions.

Snack: 1 cup Dannon light and fit vanilla Greek yogurt with 1/2 to 1 banana and a serving of lightly salted mixed nuts all folded together.

For sweet cravings I love Muscle Pharm's Birthday Cake Combat Crunch bar (it tastes kind of like fruity pebbles to me, but better)

Dinner- oven fried chicken or venison and parmesan panko baked zucchini fries (I like to cut them kind of thick so I can really taste the zucchini)

I try to start my day with my most favorite meal and end it with one too
Overnight oats with greek yogurt, favorite flavor protein powder, tiny bit of cashew milk, stevia, fruit (yum)
Homemade protein waffle with peanut butter on top (my second protein scoop of the day, egg, coconut flour)

melissa6771

My favorite breakfast- 1 egg, 3 egg whites scrambles with 1/2 oz mozzarella, bran buds and milk

Lunch- grilled marinated pork tenderloin with roasted potatoes with peppers

Dinner, I have a lot of favorites but salmon baked with blackening seasoning, white rice made with some coconut milk mixed in and black beans. Look up the Goya black bean and rice recipe, that's what I use. So delicious and super healthy.

A big bowl of raw cabbage, topped with a decent portion (few ounces) of cooked ground beef, topped with a cheese sauce made of cream and sharp cheddar. I really can't get enough of it!

I think I've made and eaten every "healthy meal" on Pinterest lol. I sometimes find one and add it to my board

My baby sister taught me this one (she's an exercise freak):

Thaw some frozen mixed berries. Top with plain, non-fat yogurt. Sprinkle with slivered almonds and some rolled oats. Pretty darn yummy and satisfying.

There is a sonoma diet recipe for stuffed chicken that I LOVE though I modify it a bit. The original recipe stuffs the chicken with feta and cooked spinach, but she has a variant that uses mushrooms that have been cooked in wine and garlic. I use the mushroom variation and goat cheese instead of feta and it is AMAZING. Also a big fan of mashed cauliflower - boil it up till soft, mash, mix in chicken base, parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper, and maybe a bit of cream cheese. Sooo good and can occasionally be passed off as mashed potatoes to unsuspecting small children ; ). Also most days I include a multigrain roll - pepperidge farm makes my favorite. All that for under 500 calories. Maybe throw in some broccoli or green beans if I'm really hungry.

In general I find that abundant seasoning is the key to enjoyable healthy food.

I am eating mostly the same thing every breakfast and lunch. Breakfast: one cup coffee with silk soy creamer; one over easy egg + one slice of canadian bacon in a low carb wrap. Eaten in the car on the way to work. Snack: Luna Protein bar or 2% Chobani yogurt or homemade iced coffee (which is a real appetite killer for me). Lunch: spring mix salad, olive oil, red wine vinegar, crumbled feta, canned salmon or hard boiled eggs or some other protein, grape tomatoes. Minimum 4 cups of salad. Dinner: can of soup or protein and veggie. I'm thinking that this is just the way I have to live now for 90% of my meals. I still go to Chinese Buffet, Indian Buffet, other restaurants but don't eat a lot, mostly. Cookies sometimes, just three. Chocolate sometimes, one or two squares dark chocolate. I am not bored yet, really. And I feel a lot better without a whole lotta carbs. 13 pounds lost in two months!

Baked chicken, baked red potato, and some thawed frozen broccoli. I have a good way of baking the chicken, light parmesan and Panko coating with garlic. It's really good. And very simple cause I'm a simple kinda man, like that Skynyrd song.

I'm super lazy so I easy prep is important. So I like celery with a little peanut butter or crack open a can of tuna with a little mayo. These are my go to snacks

FitPhillygirl

My favorite meal of the day is breakfast. I like eating a verity of things like; eggs, fresh fruit, Gluten free plain oatmeal with Pb2 mixed in, Tripple Zero Greek yogurt with protein powder or chia seeds mixed in, and almonds. If I'm going to the gym in the morning I eat a Protein bar just before my workout.

That is on the menu this evening but with Blue Cheese and it will not be quite 24 oz. Don't quite have the calorie allotment for that today. I am really looking forward to it.

Some of my go to dinners....
- Meatloaf, rice, steamed green beans.
- Baked chicken (seasoned anyway I like), rice, steamed green beans.
- Turkey burger patty, rice, corn

So basically a lean protein with rice and steamed veg. It's easy to meal prep a whole weeks worth.
