I like to make a big recipe on a day where I have a lot of time and then I have leftovers for days where I'm super busy. Slow cooker recipes are my favorite because I don't have to constantly hover over the food while it's cooking.

I get up early and get my workout over with for the day. Prepare meals ahead of time, breakdown into portions and grab and go.

Crockpot/Slow cooker meals make huge portions I can eat for several days. Protein shakes for breakfast if I'm eating on the go.

Meals - Frozen banana, oats, whey protein, almonds and milk blended into a smoothie.

For breakfast:
I get Vans waffles, and fry 2 eggs and eat them on top of the waffle. I will also get fage 2% yogurt and mix some preserves or jam in it and have that for breakfast. If you're not trying to hit a protein requirement oatmeal is also great. my favorite is with raspberries and honey.

I like chicken or tuna wraps for lunch. I get those fiber one wraps that are 80 calories, and then sautee enough chicken for a couple / few days or mix up some tuna. put a piece of cheese and some salad dressing or lite mayo in the wrap with the chicken (and greens) and voila. I ususally take the ingredients and put together at work. If I'm in a pinch I will mix a Tbs of peanut butter in a vanilla chobani cup and have that.

Dinners; I love the steamfresh veggie bags that you can put in the microwave for 5 minutes. Usually I sautee chicken or steak tips and serve with some of the steamers.

I also have fail safes if I'm not on top of things and end up needing to eat out.
Breakfast - dunkin donuts wake up wraps. 2 of them fill me up adequately and have a good amount of protein and not too many carbs.
Lunch - Moes burrito bowl with chicken or a turkey sub on wheat from subway (six inch)
Dinner - depends where we go, but usually I can order something steak or chicken based, or get a salad with chicken etc.

Just saw you also asked about exercise. You just have to find a plan that works for you honestly, trial and error is your friend. If you can work out in the morning it is definitely most time efficient. Personally, it just doesn't work for me. I hate mornings. I do. I have to go straight to the gym from work, or it feels like working out drags out all night. I pack my gym bag and either change at work or when I get there. You get pretty proficient at remembering what you need if you pack the bag enough times. :P Also because my routines are lifting based, I've started splitting the days I lift and the days I do cardio / other stuff because when I don't I'm at the gym all night.
