For those weeks you just CANNOT cook or meal prep. Ideally they should be healthy, but sometimes you just want something quick and easy.

I'm only putting Canadians as I find American grocery stores usually have way more goodies than Canadian stores, so I just want to get a sense of what's available here.


Mine:

Pinty's pre-cooked Chicken Breast Burgers: Only 120 calories for each burger (downside is that it's loaded with sodium and is super pricey. 5 burgers for $15).

Nupasta: 25 calories! For a decent bowl! I mean it's not the best tasting pasta, but it is super filling. A bit pricier when you add it all up though.

Compliments Skim Mozza Stringables: 60 cals, the 'stringing' helps to psychologically extend my binging habits

Taquitos - Sensations by Compliments: 130 cals for two. It's one of the slightly bigger taquitos as opposed to the usual mini ones.

Ranch veggie straws: 40 grams is one bowl, and 180 cals.

    Chapman's fruit sorbet mmm... 80-90 cals per half cup, depending on the flavour. Also, (requires a tiny bit of meal prep - less if you buy precooked packs of chicken) - Superstore sells spiralized veggie "noodles", add a bit of sauce, some meat, and heat it all in a pan for a couple mins and done. Does 4 servings for just myself. 3 with hubby as he eats half. I have started making this a couple times a week and then it does me for lunch the next day as well, and only takes a few mins of my time. I add in extra veggies as well.

    I second the Green Giant veggie tots! There's broccoli, broccoli and cheese or cauliflower! That's my go to "evilness" if I feel I want something like a hashbrown or "tater tots". If you're looking for a whole frozen/micro meal... I enjoy the PC blue menu brand ... especially the Indian (butter chicken or chicken tikka masala) ones.
