Hey guys! I'm going to the grocery store today and could use your help. I work in an office from 7-4 and with a family member who lives and breathes fast food. What are some good meals I should buy for this week.. both lunch and supper? What are your favorites that I could whip up ??
Thanks!

    Get some boneless chicken breast, turkey breast tenderloin and season them up with whatever spices you like. When done baking them let them cool, slice them up and divide the meat into small containers and put in fridge for the week.. Use them in your salads or come home and add a yam or potato and vegies.. It helps in my house so we get our protien in.... good luck..

    I get chicken cutlets (smaller and cheaper than getting the breasts), soak them in buttermilk and spices for a day or 2, dip them with progresso italian panko bread crumbs.(sometimes I add parmesean to the bread crumbs) and bake for 20 mintues. Great alone or in a sandwich. I bake 6 at a time, eat one for dinner and reheat the rest when I need it. The butter milk makes the bread crumbs stick, so you don't need an egg or anything.

    I really like pitas. Pitas, lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, pickles, mustard, tiny bit mayo, and deli meat.

    I eat a lot of salads, fresh fruit, I love earth grains multi grain bread with 2 slices of avacodo, sliced roma tomato, deli sliced turkey breats and a little garlic powder! You can find great low cal and fast recipes on allrecipes.com, I make coconut milk soup in my crock pot so it is ready when I get home. You can also do eggs, turkey bacon, oatmeal, protien shakes and bars, sssooo many wonderful choices out there. For sweets I get weight watchers stuff or ricotta with a packet of stevia, tsp of pure almond extract and toasted raw almonds! Nuts are good too as long as they are raw and if you like almonds soak them for a few hours, this makes them taste amazing and gives you more of what your body needs. Good luck and God Bless you!

    If I need convience then I really like Weight Watchers has a lot of really good meals as does Healthy Choice. But my BIGGEST tip I can give you if you like to cook is the Cooking Light magazine! IT IS AMAZING!!! Wonderful and easy recipes and it gives you all of the nutrition counts so you can keep track! Good luck and keep intouch.
