A vegetable raw, hummus or tofu, some nuts or seeds, and a fruit; I put them all in the same bowl and it looks so healthy and delicious that I eat it up knowing it's so good for me. Makes me feel so dang good, I don't want to eat anything else.5

Omelets: olive oil or butter in small skillet, any veggies or herbs: broccoli, onions, spinach, cilantro, basil, heirloom tomatoes, bell peppers, etc. cooked until tenderness of liking, throw in one lightly beaten egg, maybe sprinkle a little cheese, can add meat, season to liking, heat over medium low. Quick, easy, as nutritious as I want to make them, and very satisfying.3

My wife and I are in love with a modified WW recipe we just call Greek Chicken
Take chicken breast and cut it down into small chunks. Put it in a bag with a tablespoon of lemon-infused olive oil and a greek seasoning (we have one we've made ourselves with garlic salt, garlic powder, dried basil, greek oregano, cinnamon, black pepper, dried parsley, rosemary, dill, marjoram, thyme, and nutmeg) and then I usually also throw in some fresh sprigs of rosemary and thyme as well and let that marinate for about an hour or two
Then you just cook the chicken breast in a sprinkle of oil and add in a bunch of bell peppers (we get home grown peppers from my parents and sometimes have banana peppers or seeded jalapenos or habaneros if we have them as well) and squash and zucchini and season those veggies with the greek seasoning mix as well.
The WW recipe called for orzo but we've cut that out to save the points. At the end we also top with some diced cherry tomatoes and cucumber and about a half-ounce of reduced fat feta cheese.
We also make a homemade tzatziki with nonfat plain greek yogurt as well.
Delicious and extremely low point on WW because everything is zero point foods except for the olive oil and feta. We moderate the sauce (no more than 2 tbsps per serving) and chicken (no more than 5 oz per serving) so we don't get out of control and overindulge on the "0 point" foods.5 -
Thanks for all the ideas!0

Variations on crack slaw. That is, ground meat, onion, chopped cabbage, flavor to match the cuisine of your choice. Tonight's was taco flavored, but I have been doing quite a bit of curried lately, as well. I also do a New Orleans mix, something like dirty rice, but with cabbage.1

Tacos. Quick, easy, filling. And easily fits into my goals for the day. If I can't afford the taco shells then taco salad is a great alternative. Also I keep chicken patties on hand. I'll bake em up, and then dice them over salad fixing. Super fast and easy.2

Ewwww turkey breast no way, but I second the bacon. I've had it that way.0 -
I wish I liked cottage cheese! I cannot get past the texture. I'm currently obsessed with egg bites from Starbucks made with egg whites and roasted red peppers. I also like to get the steamable frozen zoodles (zucchini noodles), add tomato sauce and Turkey meatballs.
Speaking of egg bites - I made my own egg muffins at home. You can make them how you prefer, but usually I use eggs, 1 frozen tater tot in each muffin, cheese, cooked sausage, spinach and some red and/or green peppers. I eat it with some hot sauce or salsa and yummy! Can keep in fridge for days and eat on during the week.
My stay on track, pretty easy meal is tacos. You can brown taco meat quickly and make it fit your calorie goal with the shell/lack thereof and toppings you choose...plus my kids love them.
I make egg muffins on weekends too! I like it vegetarian but my kids like it when I put mini sausages.
I usually add Spinach, Green onions, Cheese and one other veggies like red peppers, cooked corn or half of mini tomatoes. I eat it as a snack almost everyday! Kids like em too

I usually do the whole box of green garden frozen veggie steamers with protein of choice- maybe air fryed chicken breast or chicken sausage, ground meat etc- then spices and 1 small serving of fried onions on top for the crunch- most days less than 200 and somedays around 250 based on protein choice- quick easy yummy!!!
Eat out- usually Wendy small chili- or bacon jr- half bun with extra vegetables-2 -
Some chopped up leftover chicken, a chopped avocado, a jar of commercial salsa, some chopped coriander. World's easiest chicken salad.1

Hard boiled eggs......always keep some in the fridge, A couple with a little salt has stopped me from snacking on bad stuff many, many times.2

More snacky than meal, but
Making my own cheese stick and prosciutto wraps, canned chicken w/ mayo/Dijon on Wheat Thins.0 -
For a quick breakfast or lunch, I eat an apple with nut or seed butter.
One of my favorite quick dinners is "eggroll in a bowl". Saute a bag of coleslaw mix. Add a little soy sauce and sesame oil. Heat some breakfast sausages in the microwave (we use vegetarian), chop and mix in. You can also add some scrambled eggs that are broken into chunks for extra protein. We usually make the day after fish tacos with the almost full bag of leftover coleslaw mix.3 -
I've really been loving my eggs in the morning lately. I'll do them over easy with some green onions, salt, pepper, and just today I did sriracha. It was amazing with that! Pair it with two slices of turkey bacon and toast topped with hummus and cherry tomatoes. I can't wait to have it every morning with my coffee.1

My go to snack is nuts, salt and pepper pistachios are my current favorite, in shells. I count out 25 and the shells pace me. If I’m really hungry, tummy growling, I have 1 cup of 5% (whole milk) Fage yogurt with a teaspoon of organic low sugar blueberry jam. (5g carb). This yogurt is THICK, very filling4
