1/2 avocado, cherry tomatoes and 3-4 oz of protein (rotisserie chicken normally).0

I eat a lot of sweet potatoes. Poke holes, wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 6 minutes. Spread some ghee and you're set! Pair it with some fruit, or go lower carb with a spinach or kale salad. Very filling.0

A big ole Salmon or Tuna topped salad with Spring Mix, Grape Tomatoes, Cukes, Almonds or Sunflower seeds and Carrots. Topped with some Kens Steak House Rasberry Walnut Vinagrette or Annies Papaya Poppy Seed dressing.0

tuna, chopped celery, 1/2 avocado, and grape tomatoes0

Today I had chicken, cheese, avocado, peppers, onions, and cucumbers with taco seasoning, it was pretty good!0
-
If I don't have leftovers, I go to 2 packs of water packed tuna mixed with a whole avocado. I usually will have a pepper, salad, or some sort of veggie.0
-
I often have a soup in the fridge(thai butternut squash with home roasted cashews and almonds).
Soup is very easy and very filling.I would sometimes have half and avocado with the soup for an extra bit of fat.0 -
I've taken to steaming frozen haddock in the oven (in a glass baking dish) with a little olive oil, lemon, salt & pepper. from frozen it takes 10-15 minutes.
Also I sautee a bunch of greens (spinach or swiss chard) a couple of times a week and keep that in the fridge so I can portion some out to go with what ever protein I choose: either fish or grilled or baked chicken or red meat on the rare occasion.
for breakfast scrambled eggs with lots of greens (again spinach or swiss chard)
in a pinch I've had an apple with almond butter and that was pretty filling0 -
Salad with lots of veggies and a couple slices of bacon. I usually top it off with guacamole or homemade balsamic vinaigrette.0
-
Mix canned chicken with avocado and cayanne pepper and throw it on some greens. The Costco canned chicken in water is pretty good.0
-
tuna & avocado with some pepper , or salad with tuna or chicken on top0
-
If it's not leftovers, or reworked leftovers, it's probably this salad: Chicken (see below), hot sauce, baby spinach, red bell pepper, onion & a packet of wholly guacamole + whatever other veggies I have around.
When I find a good deal on chicken breasts/thighs... I go crazy, buy it up and broil/grill like 6 lbs. When it cools, slice it up, spread it out on a few cookie sheets and freeze it, then store it in a gallon sized freezer bag. Homemade heat & eat chicken for salads and stir fry :-) It's super convenient for lunch or busy weeknight meals.0 -
On the rare days I eat lunch, it's either a handful of nuts, can of tuna or some cottage cheese and berries. It takes only about five to six minutes to nuke a sweet potato in the microwave and slather it with butter and a dash of cinnamon.
Sometimes I'll have some sushi prepped the night before - but I can hardly call that "quick".0 -
I like a big green salad with whatever protein is hanging around. I usually eat half an avocado at that meal as well. I've also enjoyed lettuce wrapped burgers at lunch. Eggs and bacon is nice, and I often make my eggs and bacon into some sort of salad.0
-
if you've got a good deli nearby, I love to do meat roll ups stuffed with raw/undressed broccoli slaw (or any veggies you have lying around) and dipped in mayo or mustard or dressing.0
-
Salad here, too! Either a big green salad with leftover chicken or ham, ranch dressing or olive oil/apple cider vinegar, or tuna or salmon salad mixed with mayo/celery/onion/chopped avocado.0
