I have this for lunch at work every day:
1 pouch microwaveable long grain brown rice.
6 tbsp chunky salsa or pico de gallo
2 oz. low sodium turkey breast slices
I get it all from Trader Joe's, heat up the rice, tear two turkey slices on top along with salsa. (You can also add in half an avocado diced as well for some healthy fats.) takes two minutes to make and is soooo yummy!0 -
I always have salmon and avocado. I have spinach or Kale ,tomatoes and I normally end up doing something with those.0

A Veggie Patch Chick'n Cutlet with ketchup. Protein, veggies, and it's super-filling.0

Bump. Seems like a good situation to have a go-to for.
Mine's probably curry tilapia and asparagus:
All I do is thaw the tilapia, then rub it in a mix of curry, cumin, paprika, salt & pepper. Pan fry it.
In the mean time I drizzle a bit of EVOO, salt & pepper (maybe crushed garlic, too) on some asparagus, and throw it in the oven. About 12 minutes all-in, and high protein with veg. Win.0 -
I know I already answered, but I remembered my other go-to: smoked salmon on a toasted flatbread or sandwich thin with either Laughing Cow or avocado. Absolutely insanely delicious.0

Peanut butter with carrot sticks and a protein shake0

Miso with udon noodles, ginger root, whatever green veg I have around and either tofu or thinly sliced white fish. Yum.0
-
Cottage cheese on toasted bread0

Mine is fat free quark/fromage frais, handful of mixed berries, handful of mixed nuts, tsp of honey and tsp of nut butter.0

1) Mashed avocado with lime juice, dehydrated onion flakes, and TONS fresh or dried chile pepper
2) Sushi from Whole Foods
3) Canned black beans with chipotles and pickled nopalitos
4) Canned tuna mixed with rosemary and shredded smoked gouda - microwave it for about a minute, then spread it on buttered whole grain toast.0 -
When I don't feel like cooking, I make a chicken ceasar salad thusly:
Romaine lettuce
egg whites
anchovies (IDC about sodium, they're delicious)
previously-cooked chicken boob (I always keep some cooked chicken boob chopped and bagged in the fridge)
Parmesan cheese
homemade croutons, made with olive oil and basil
From there I add whatever's handy: chopped roma tomatoes, broccoli, asparagus, or mushrooms. It's not a strict Ceasar salad, but it's damn good to me and it fits all kind of macros.0 -
A salad of :
Salad greens
Pouch of sunkist tuna
Salad dressing
Lil cheese
Carrots
Sometimes I'll add turkey bacon bits.0 -
Great suggestions, but does anyone have any vegan ideas?0

i'm so lazy i normally just graze on individual ingredients all day rather than put them together & make a meal. i just aim for high protein quick fixes.
i usually either eat a pb&j or make a salad. again, i'm super lazy so i use bagged salad with store bought rotisserie chicken. then i might add whatever veggie is on hand, or perhaps some hard boiled egg or sunflower seeds
i also dip hummus in cucumber slices & grape tomatoes
today i mixed up a can of tuna & low fat mayo (lil salt n pep too) and instead of dicing up apple to throw in the mix, i cut up some apple wedges to dip in the tuna salad.
This is how i "cook".0 -
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I use sugar free jam and 45 cal per slice bread. But unless I really don't have many calories left, I am going to use the real peanut butter every time.0
-
Red/Yellow, Orange bell peppers and hummus. I keep them cut up in the fridge, easy to grab when I'm hungry.0
-
Salad is seriously one of my favorite meals. (not even joking.) I love salad with salmon, balsamic vinegar, and nutritional yeast. I'm lazy so I just by canned salmon.0
-
I nuke a bag of Steamfresh Broccoli & Cauliflower, dump the whole works in a big bowl & toss with 1/2 c black beans, 2 T crumbled goat cheese or shredded parmesan, sea salt & pepper (or 9 million twists of the Italian Herb Grinder!!) and drizzle with 1T olive oil... nom nom nom0
