Breakfast for dinner is a quick one - eggs, toast, maybe bacon or sausage or some fruit.

Hummus, veggies, yogurt w/granola.

Hardboiled eggs on toast.

I'll usually make a tomato based soup. I always have canned diced tomatoes on hand, so throw in some leftover rice and frozen spinach, or saute an onion and celery and I'm good. I change up the flavor profile with spices (cumin and chili powder, garlic & ginger with soy sauce, or curry powder maybe)

Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein oatmeal - all with some variety of fruit/seeds/pbfit/whatever.

Veggies and hummus. Possibly sone rice thins with jam or chocolate spread. - Sometimes fruit with peanut butter.

Pasta is always Plan C, if i can't make whatever the original plan was and we can't get takeout. I try to keep some frozen meatballs on hand, i always have some kind of noodles, and if we don't have jarred sauce, i can usually hack something together. If all else fails, aglio e olio it is.

Sandwiches, breakfast food, or rice and beans

Really desperate? Stick a celery stick in the PB jar. Dip in flax seeds for extra fiber.

I always stock a variety of individually portioned, vacuum sealed frozen fish. Quick thawed in lukewarm water, the fish is ready to pan fry in less than 20 minutes. I like to prep ingredients to make for fast meal assembly. In my fridge, there are usually peeled or grated carrots, peeled onion and garlic along with lettuce or spinach. For a lighting fast no-cook meal, I can whip up a delicious veggie or sliced turkey wrap in under five minutes.

A huge salad, throw whatever i can in there, including nuts, some sort of meat (even sliced sandwich meat works out good enough), artificial crab, slices of hard boiled egg.

Polar canned salmon and rice.

Scrambled eggs. Ready in three minutes in the microwave. Add some shredded cheese and salsa. Eat by itself or in a wrap. I always have 500 ml containers of homemade soup in the freezer which can be thawed in no time and probably faster than putting a snack plate together. I'm not big on "no cook meals". To me, that's just a snack, or road trip food

Instant ramen pimped up with some leafy greens and an egg poached in the broth.

If you eat instant ramen keep in mind that wheat noodles need to be fried to make them instant. Not the case for rice noodles or bean vermicelli noodles which saves about 30% of calories.

In ramen noodle recipes I use capellini / angel hair pasta, which cooks up in about 3 min.

Eggs are my first choice for a "I don't feel like fussing with dinner and there are no leftovers" meal, followed by pasta.

Right now I'm trying to avoid takeout so some quick rescue meals are:

Ramen with tofu/edamame and veggies
Instant mac n' cheese with frozen broccoli
Snack plate with sliced apples, crispy tofu or sausage, hummus, and veggies
Sandwich with fruit
Peanut butter and banana toast (add hemp seeds for more protein!)
A smoothie or popsicle (same ingredients as smoothie, but frozen in delicious popsicle form)

Two packs of instant ramen, just bread with cheese, get sushi. That's it at the moment.

I will literally just see what’s in the fridge and pantry and put things in my plate until I have the calories and macros I need. Today that was the last of some leftover meatloaf with raw carrots and some cherry tomatoes. May be string cheese, and egg or two and some fruit. I usually have makings for a salad and can find some kind of protein to toss on top. Breakfast may be cottage cheese and pineapple with a piece or string cheese or a couple of eggs with some deli turkey on a whole grain english muffin with a slice of cheese. As time has gone on, it’s been easier to come up with quick things. A smoothie is always a winner too.

A can of chicken, wedge of laughing cow and spoonful of greek yogurt mixed with ranch seasoning and buffalo sauce make a really quick and filling veggie dip or wrap filling. I've also done quesadillas with it and my teenage son loves it.

All my meals are quick "cooking". I rely on frozen food for just about every meal prepared at home. I put frozen vegetables of one sort or another into a bowl with frozen roasted chicken, meatballs, shrimp...whatever sounds good. Add a dollop of some kind of sauce (Asian, BBQ, buffalo, etc.) and heat in the microwave. You can add pasta or rice as well. I make those from the 90-second ready packs and get a couple of meals from each packet.

ma2007pmc

Greek yogurt with berries, cheerios with sliced bananas, if I want something warm, soft boiled eggs over multigrain toast
