i know this is cooking... but its super fast: scrambled eggs or an omlette with meat and veggies
i will stop while i am ahead but those are my favs:)0 -
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.0 -
Amy's Vegan Vegetable Pizza, I add a few more peppers and sundried tomatoes to it. Its about 400 calories for half of the pizza! Takes only 10 minutes to bake too0

sardines and triscuit dill crackers....
I'll have to try this I've recently bought some sardines and anchovies but havent been brave enough to try.
My go to meal is cottage cheese, tomatoes, and lemon pepper0 -
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 Vinaigrette0 -
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!0

Water packed salmon or tuna with veggie wheat thins; taste GREAT and VERY fulfilling0
-
Greek yogurt
Egg white omelet or egg white sandwich
Smoothie with protein powder0 -
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!0 -
i looooooooooooooooooe the butternut squash soup by campbells with tabasco sauced. now when you guys say greek yogurt do you mean fat free or regular0

I take a pouch of tuna mix it with a teaspoon of mayo and a teaspoon of relish. I then spoon it onto either crackers or veggie chips.
I also sometimes cook up a big pot of minestrone soup on like a sunday and eat at it the entire week for dinner.0 -

I LOVE good quality Sardines! I have had some bad ones tho!! Trader Joes Boneless skinless in olive oil are my fav!0 -
Well... I don't consider boiling water and using a toaster oven "cooking" so when I'm lazy (which is often) I eat: boiled eggs, frozen broccoli in big bags that I steam, canned tuna, whole grain sandwich thins thrown into the toaster, greek yogurt & salsa. Also, cans of black beans or kidney beans go great with that... with a spoonful of the salsa mixed in. This is something I will often even have for breakfast.
ETA: How could I forget... spoonfuls of peanut butter on the toast!0 -
Really lazy BUT quick-cooking oatmeal done in the microwave topped with dried cranberries and walnuts. Easy and healthy.0

I try and bake chicken breasts once a week - and keep them in the fridge or freezer for easy dinners. My favorite - baby spinach with chopped up chicken breast, some carrots (baby, raw) a hand full of peas and a bit of light ranch dressing. I put it all in a bowl and stir it up together (needs lots less ranch dressing that way). Fast, healthy and delish!0

Costco rotisserie chicken
I am also a fan of pb&j, sometimes with banana.
I've also done greek yogurt, fruit & Kashi Go Lean cereal with almonds on the side.
Protein shakes also come in handy. Overnight oatmeals too!0
