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-

acpgee

Some chopped up leftover chicken, a chopped avocado, a jar of commercial salsa, some chopped coriander. World's easiest chicken salad.

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.

More snacky than meal, but

Making my own cheese stick and prosciutto wraps, canned chicken w/ mayo/Dijon on Wheat Thins.

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.

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.

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 filling

1/2 been & cheese burrito with green chili, from del taco...only $1.19 with taxes. Helped me drop over 40lbs.

LKArgh

Pita bread or flatbread, topped with thin mozzarella and tomato slices plus whatever fresh herbs we have available. Add a salad and it is an easy summer dinner.

Snow peas...I dunno how I never discovered these before. The grocery next to my place here has them really cheap. I just buy like a pound on my way home if I'm near end of my calories and snack on it all evening. Less than 200 cals usually, I love them and they're surprisingly good on the macro and nutrient front.

The picture doesn't do these, but I made these egg bites and consistency is very similar to Starbucks. They have nonfat plain Greek yogurt and cottage cheese in them. I loaded them up with veggies (peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, spinach) and Turkey sausage.

Do you mind sharing the recipe?

debtay123

Please share the macros for the egg bits too- if you know them- thanks

I recently made these tiny chicken patties with chicken mince, bread, onion, garlic and a bit of flour. They come in at around 50 calories per patty. I have one or two of those in a sandwich with two slices of whole wheat toast, onion, tomato, cilantro, sriracha, and as much cheese as I can fit into my calorie limit for the day. It's about 280 calories (not counting any cheese). It makes a great small meal. Depending on how hungry I am, I may add an egg as well.

at home:

quick and satisfying (for me) =

2 eggs (whatever way I feel like at the time, poached, scrambled, fried) + 1 WHOLE (but cute, small) avocado, sliced, on top of eggs + 1/4 c. salsa. on top of that.

If I am REALLY hungry (and craving carbs), I will add a 'slice' of pre-cooked polenta, warmed up in the pan while the eggs are cooking, and have that as a 'base' under the eggs

Never fails me

at a restaurant?

Red Lobster Grilled shrimp tacos.. 420 cal and SO delicious

Denny's slow-cooked pot roast - so good - (400 cal) + steamed broccoli (35 cal) + (if I am really hungry) red skinned mashed potatoes 120 cal = 555 cal total

apriltrainer

egg omelet with garlic and 2 tbls of tahini, spread with Cured pork fat. I always eat this kind of omelet or a variation of. Shredded rotisserie chicken with sugar free G Huges BBQ sauce . Takes less than a few min to prepare.

Home made creamy mushroom soup - it's winter here and it is freezing!

Do you eat edamame in restaurants?

You can eat home and it sells for like 2.50. Buy frozen organic edamame in the shell. You can steam in the bag using microwave.

Eat!

forknitsandgiggles91

The instant pot has been my best friend- put in frozen chicken breast (or any meat really) with 1 cup of water and spices and cook for 15 minutes. The chicken comes out super tender. I shred it or slice it and mix it with bbq sauce, salsa etc. Last night I mixed it with marinara sauce and sprinkled a little parm on top for a healthy version of chicken parm and served it with roast veggies. Tasted just as good as the breaded, deep fried version.

Black bean soup with chicken - low fat, low carb, high protein

TeamNemesisSteve

Low carbohydrate burritos. I use a low carb tortilla that is also low calorie and low sodium. I’ll eat around 1-pound of super lean ground hamburger, turkey or chicken in them. Usually some shredded queso or mild cheddar cheese too. In the winter time I will add no-salt black beans, brown rice and a little hot sauce. I’m sure they weigh about 3-4 pounds when they are complete 😂🤣

amgreenwell

When I started this journey I had frozen salmon and edamame every single night for about a year. I loved it and it never got old with different seasonings. Now that I'm not losing as much I make lots of soups and those go a long way to keeping me satisfied without SO much calories.

Super fast and filling -- half an avocado on toast. Add sliced tomatoes and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Yummy and keeps me satisfied until lunch time.
