    These Grok things are friggin' unbelievable:

    http://www.grok.it/en/flavours/gusto-deciso/

    One bag is 300 calories of pure cheesy deliciousness. Loads of fat and protein in them, too, so they're pretty filling (20g fat, 0g carb, 30g protein.)

    Unfortunately, they're expensive and hard to find... I saw them on sale at some random website months ago and bought about 20 bags. Already running low... :-(

    EDIT: Oh, if I'm coming home from the gym or otherwise need the protein, I'll occasionally get a Wendy's berry almond chicken salad or an ultimate chicken grill sandwich, both with an extra chicken fillet. I also like to do Chipotle's salads with just pinto beans, double chicken and pico de gallo (sometimes guac, too.)

    if i have no time and am starving:

    tuna wrap with peppers, tomatoes and borlotti beans (or whatever useful in my fridge for additional toppings)

    or

    tuna salad - tuna on lettuce with tomatoes, peppers, borlottis and probably a hard boiled egg with a dressing of olive oil and balsamic vinegar

    I go with brown rice, chopped tomato, chopped avocado and black beans. It sounds bland, but the flavors combine unexpectedly well.

    I heat up a Tyson Gluten Free chicken strip (it's about the size of a 1/2 chicken breast) in the toaster oven, while that's heating up I have a bowl of 7 Super foods salad mix (without the dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds and I use my own dressing), when the timer dings, I heat up a single serve cup of brown rice, cut up the chicken on a plate, dump the rice on it, mix in a table spoon of duck sauce and have what I call my chinese food (I'm allergic to soy, peanuts, and shellfish so I can't eat chinese food any more because my allergy to shellfish became a contact allergy so if they cook in the same pan or use the same spatula or spoon that was used to cook shrimp, I'll have a reaction)

    Parmesan cheese nuggets???? Sweet baby Cheebus, that's my snack nirvana!


    For me quick cooking is roasting some broccoli and throwing some meat on the George Foreman - I generally tend to faff with my food so that's pared down for me

    Salad
    (I usually pre-chop my veggies and fix the eggs... 325 on the rack of the oven for 30 minutes...makes perfect "hard-boiled" eggs)

    Ingredients:

    1/2 cup canned no sodium beans...Usually black beans
    1 egg
    kale or spinach
    orange bell pepper
    green onion
    jalapeno
    1/4 cup feta cheese
    cucumber
    1 TBSP Annie's red bell pepper dressing or 1/2 TBSP EVOO and 1TBSP White Wine Vinegar
    salt and pepper

    Sometimes I add in avocado if I had an extra hard workout. Super satisfying salad!

    Rice, scrambled eggs, and a slice or 2 of torn up deli ham. It technically is still cooking, but I usually eat rice every night so there's always some left over. And if I make the egg in the microwave, it takes less than a minute.
