Meal suggestions please

I'm looking for some additional ideas for meals to include in my diet.
I am trying to stick to 1330 calories per day and have meals that are also suitable for my partner who has type 2 diabetes so need to be low sugar.
I'm intolerant to fish and don't like the taste of eggs.
We both work full time - long days due to commute so need to be quick and easy to prepare and cook.
Thanks

    I like to cook ham and green beans together and have a side of cottage cheese. Sometimes, I will put a few red potatoes in with it. Delish! ( Can do the ham and beans in crockpot)

    Roast a chicken with onion and carrots and then after you've eaten that for a meal, make chicken soup with the rest. (Can do both in the crockpot)

    Roast a pork tenderloin with sauerkraut. (I do this in the crockpot)

    Lean meatloaf with a side of steamed veggies or sweet potato.

    Crockpot salsa chicken. (2-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 jar of salsa, low heat in crockpot for 8-12 hrs.) Add sour cream and/or cheddar depending in what you like.

    Crockpot peach salsa chicken (2-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 regular size jar SUGAR FREE peach preserves and 1 jar salsa. Cook on low heat in crockpot for 8-12 hrs)

    Roast with veggies in the crockpot.

    Crockpot Taco Chicken: 2-4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 packet taco seasoning, 1 jar salsa. Cook in crockpot on low heat for 8-12 hrs, shred chicken with forks then add drain rinsed can of black beans, replace lid long enough to heat the beans, then eat on plate or in a wrap. Can add sour cream and/or cheddar as desired. Super for leftovers.

    Hope these help. I tried to put things that were super easy for long schedules and also that would have leftovers for healthy lunches.
  • Like the sound of the peach salsa chicken - will definitely try that.

    chicken breast with thyme, paprika, cayenne, and pepper (150 g = 248 calories) + baby carrots (100 g = 35 calories) + brown rice (100 g = 112 calories)
    TOTAL: 395 calories
