Need help here guys. For the past 3 months, I've been eating in a variety smart ones, healthy choice and lean cuisine frozen meals. they work wonders. for snacks i have sandwich thins and either tuna or cold cuts. all this stuff is low in calories and fat, etc. but now im kinda wanting to start making my own food. any suggestions on what can get me by day by day? what is a good idea for lunch? dinner? mid-day snacks?

    If you need easy stuff do batch foods like casseroles, stews, spaghetti etc... Look up once a month cooking stuff too. You can make mini sub sandwhiches and freeze them for about a week and just thaw them out in the morning and they are ready for lunch. hard boiled eggs are good for about a week or so.

    I make a big pot of chili and freeze them in 1 cup tupperware containters. Pretty low in calories plus I get some veggies in. Easy to grab and go similar to frozen meals. White Chicken Chili and regular tomato/beef (or turkey!) chili works well.

    I will usually make some plain chicken breasts in my crockpot and shredded it for the week. I use it on salads, in tacos, in casseroles basically anything you can use chicken in but it cuts the prep time way down.
