    Just kidding about the raw steak!

    In all seriousness: try the following

    1/4 cup raw pumpkin seed kernels
    3/4 cup 0% fat greek yogurt
    1 scoop whey isolate powder
    1/2 cup frozen blueberries

    Delicious, packed with protein, healthy fats, fiber, minerals and vitamins, and takes 2 seconds to put together.

    Delicious, fast and portable. I eat a Van's 8 Whole Grain waffle (they make several varieties including a gluten free) topped with Toffutti vegan cream cheese and pumpkin butter or apple butter from a local farm market. You can do two waffles and eat it like a sandwich. I start work at 7 am and don't get lunch til 1:30, but I can usually take a few minutes to wolf down a greek yogurt, hard boiled egg or a Health Warrior Chia Bar. Coconut is my favorite. Good luck and welcome to the journey to health. I've lost 70 lbs since Feb. 24th :blush:

    Tried this for the first time after seeing someone mention it on MFP. Cut an apple into small chunks. microwave for 1 minute (or bake until apple is semi soft). Mix cooked apple into cottage cheese (as much as desired) add cinnamon, your choice of sweetener (I used cottage cheese with pineapple so I didn't add any sweetener), vanilla, raisins, chopped pecans or walnuts. Put in fridge overnight and eat the next day. The apple and raisins absorb the flavor of the cottage cheese, and it's really yummy.

    Add chia seeds, nut butters or coconut oil to your smoothies and you won't get so hungry.

    I like to mix up chia seeds, oat bran, and dry 5 grain oatmeal with flaxseed before heading to bed. In the morning I add a cup of nonfat greek yogurt and a tablespoon of local maple syrup and mix it all together. For those who don't like cooked oats, I would recommend trying oatmeal in this style. The texture is much better! I stay full from all the fiber and get almost half my daily protein.

    I would also recommend putting oats in a smoothie with fresh fruit and nonfat greek yogurt. Orange juice, banana, greek yougrt, raspberries, strawberries, and pineapple is my favorite, but any one fruit with oj, banana, and yogurt is great!

    I'm a smoothie guy myself. I make a blender full and have half for breakfast and half as a mid-morning snack. Then I make another if I get to work out during lunch and split that for an afternoon snack as well.

    1 cup mixed frozen berries
    1 medium banana
    1 scoop protein powder
    1 tbsp. flax seeds or chia seeds
    1 tbsp. coconut oil
    1 golden delicious apple
    1/2 avocado
    1 cup almond milk
    1 cup water
    1 handful of spinach
    1 handful of kale

    Again, this makes about 32 ounces and I'll drink half for breakfast and half as a snack.
