When I am lazy I take an avocado and a pouch of salmon mix it together and eat it with wheat thins (sundried tomato flavor). I had this just a few minutes ago. It seems I have been eating this a lot lately. I have been to busy to cook.

    I really like salads, so I throw together a chickpea tuna salad. Romaine and red-leaf lettuce, a can of tuna, 1/3 to 1/2 can of chickpeas, a little Italian dressing and a splash of lemon juice. Delicious. Could also be really good with canned chicken!

    Canned tuna, or beans, or cottage cheese with raw vegetables.
    Or oatmeals + fruit.
    Cottage cheese (well i want to say tvorog, not sure if it's the same thing) plus fruit make a quick and tasty smoothie, very satisfying. Oww, I need to replace my broken blender, I miss my smoothies )

    Butterfly a chicken breast and throw it on the George Forman grill for a few minutes. Reduced calorie bun, Hellman's light mayo, lettuce and tomato, salt and pepper. Delicious.

    I like campbells tomato soup made with milk so it is more nutrient dense & is more filling. I like to make some garlic toast on the stove to go with it out of whole wheat bread that I toast in a pan with parm cheese & garlic seasoning.

    Cereal is also a favorite meal of mine. Any time of day. lol

    I like grilled sandwiches. It just makes it into more of a meal when you grill it. Also great with some low cal canned soup.

    Pickled eggs on low fat crackers with tobasco sauce.

    I sometimes have a container of Chobani with 1/4 cup of almonds as my lunch if I have to work and don't have time to sit down to eat. Or if I'm feeling lazy at home I can throw together a wrap in less than 5 minutes. I usually make them with lunch meat, egg salad, or tuna salad.

    Peanuts and fresh fruit. I have this almost every day for my work lunch. I find it filling and I don't feel like I'm going to fall asleep at my desk at 3 pm. :wink:

    Cheerios :)
    Scrambled eggs, egg sandwich, hard boiled eggs
    Greek yogurt and fruit, with uncooked oatmeal and toasted almonds sprinkled on it
    I have gotten pretty good at whipping up a salad in just a few minutes and I toss some black or kidney beans and a little goat cheese on top. (Love the lettuce mixes, mini cucumbers and baby bell peppers. My 5 year old does too.)
    Hummus with raw veggies and a handful of mini pretzels.
    Progresso light soups.
    I also usually have a couple Lean Cuisine in the freezer for "just in case".

    I find cooking a large quantity of protein at a time comes in very handy for quick salads, sandwiches, etc. Right now I have a container of ground turkey cooked and crumbled, and just baked 2 lbs of beautiful fresh salmon. I also usually boil a dozen eggs each week, peel them & keep them in a tightly sealed plastic dish for quick snacks or meals, salad toppings etc.

    I do the salad thing too.

    Typically I cook chicken tenderloins a few times a week, and always have leftovers, so I stick the grilled pieces in the fridge.

    Quick Salad:
    Cut up Leftover Grilled Chicken
    Lettuce of Choice
    Carrots
    Cucumber
    A sprinkle of cheese
    2 tbs of croutons (for crunch) OR sometimes I use McCormick Salad Toppins
    Light Raspberry Vinaigrette

    Usually I will throw a salad together with tons of veggies, olive oil, vinegar, and a can of garbanzo beans. I think I could eat this everyday!

    Once a week a make a huge crockpot full of chicken to have during the week for lunches or super easy dinners. I take 8 - 10 frozen chicken thighs, sprinkle over seasoning and sometimes some onions, and cook the whole thing overnight and its perfect the next morning. a few minutes of advance planning and my week just got a whole lot easier.
    This is what i have when i don't want to, or don't have time to, cook. So nummy! This can turn into chicken salad, plain roast chicken, sandwiches, you name it....enjoy!
