I have a few meals and snacks I use as my go-to but could use some new ideas!
Some of my favorites are:
baked salmon with couscous and sauteed peppers/onion
pasta with red sauce and 1/2c low fat cottage cheese
Scrambled egg on a corn tortilla with salsa and avocado
Cajun jambalaya (add a jalapeno!)
Salsa chicken

What do you love? What should I add to my list? =)

    Anything! I have no restrictions. I just hit my macros.


    and add pop tart ice cream sandwiches. Sooo worth it.

    Saaaame.

    But one of my all-time favorite meals that I have for breakfast any time I have the time, is eggs in a hole. Its where you cook your eggs inside pieces of toast with butter. It's SO GOOD and it's pretty healthy, always fits into my calorie and macro goals very nicely :)

    ETA: That recipe is just the basic idea, I modify it slightly to make it a little healthier.

    If I could eat pad thai EVERYDAY and cheeseburgers with sweet potato fries I would. NO JOKE! However, the healthier options would be pineapple cottege cheese(not much healthier I know) and hard boiled eggs.LOVE THEM! or bananas.


    Okay lets go hardboiled eggs and bananas with almond butter. yup I am sure I could eat those everyday. :bigsmile:

    Yes, I understand we can eat anything in moderation and still lose, the point was to gain new recipes...

    The egg/toast idea sounds yummy!

    I usually make a 4oz Tilapia fillet with garlic and crushed red pepper and lemon. Then eat it over brown rice. It's filling and really low calorie.

    You could really eat anything as long as you are eating at a deficit. Just fit it into your day.

    It probably wouldn't be wise to eat this all day every day but it's my favourite soup recipe at the moment. Can't wait to make another batch this weekend.

    Anything...I just fit it into my calories and macro goals. No particular food makes you fat...consuming more calories than your body needs makes you fat...consuming less than your body needs results in your body dipping into energy reserves (fat stores) to make up for the energy (calories) you are not eating.

    Anything you want. I usually put cheese, bacon and egg. Sometimes I will add a slice of tomato. It even makes great lunch sandwiches like grilled cheese.

    You don't mean quinoa or oats, do you? You want to hear that we eat cake and cookies and such and still lose weight, right?

    It's all a balance. Low fat dairy and proteins and of of course fiber. There's room for a little treat but not a LOT of treats.

    One of my new faves for breakfast right now is 2 over-easy eggs, on brown rice, covered in salsa verde. Kind of a "healthy" huervos rancheros. The yolk and salsa coating that rice is so yummy! :)

    Also love pork tenderloin or chicken breast, seared in the pan, then roasted in the oven after covering it with dijon mustard and thyme. Mmmmmmmmmmmm!
