    Crock potted soup made on the weekend and portioned for during the week is pretty simple. Just nuke at work. Not very carboriffic either since that is something you're trying to dodge.

    I have recipes for Easy Chicken Piccata Soup, Chicken Posole, Taco Soup, Brown Jug Soup (vegetarian) and Risotto Soup linked below. Hopefully they show up and at least some of them look good...they're all pretty easy to make but the Brown Jug is probably the most labor intensive (chopping up celery and other veggies):

    Love the turkey and egg recipe someone posted above. So versatile.....can use for breakfast lunch or dinner. Or snack! I'm always looking for things I can make once and then have several meals from it during the week!

    I know eggs a pretty popular quick go to for breakfast, but I sometimes get a little bored with eggs. And my metabolism gets bored of it too. Recently I've been mixing things up with oatmeal which I find really keeps me going longer than eggs. I usually make up a big batch once during the week and then use that all week. Here's my current fave way to have it and it's about 300 calories give or take:

    1/3 cup of oatmeal (if it's left over I just heat it up in microwave for about a minute or two)
    1 tablespoon of peanut butter
    1 banana cut up
    Drizzle of maple syrup just to sweeten a little bit.
    Drizzle of milk if you like creamery consistency.

    Stir the peanut butter into the hot oatmeal and then add everything else. Really yummy and filling!

    Quesadilla I use ANY time (love for breakfast)

    Carb balance tortilla
    2.5 ounces lean chicken
    1/2-1 oz cheese (depending on type)
    tsp butter to fry in
    salsa, sour cream (real kind)

    (total calories 380 / 33g protein)

    ANOTHER GO TO FAVE FOR BREAKFAST

    Carb balance tortilla (120 cal, 5 g protein, 3 g fat)
    2 scrambled organic eggs (160 cal, 12 g. protein, 9 g fat)
    Cheese (ANY KIND) Boar's head provolone (100 cal, 7 g fat, 7 g protein)
    3 strips uncured bacon (105 calories total, 8 grams fat, 8 grams protein)
    Hot sauce or salsa (8-10 calories? no fat, little protein)
    (optional add onions, mushrooms, peppers, whatever you want for negligible calories)
    TOTALS: Calories 493 / Protein 32 / Fat 27)

    Either will hold you all morning! Load the quesadilla with lean chicken and veg to bulk it up!

    WRAPS RULE! The Mission Carb Balance tortilla is a great deal at 120 calories and has THIRTEEN grams of fiber! I eat them (and bacon and yogurt) pretty much daily!

    I really enjoy egg whites with spinach, onion, bell pepper, and low fat mexican cheese blend. The Weight Watchers brand is really good. Sometimes, I add low fat turkey links.

    This morning I fried up a pound of turkey sausage, scrambled some eggs, heated some black beans (altogether took maybe 15 minutes, reused the same pan for everything so nothing big to clean up) and threw them in some tortillas with a bit of cheese for breakfast tacos. Saved the leftover meat and beans to heat up tomorrow to take even less time to do the same thing. Add salsa or avocado as you wish. It was under 500 calories (without salsa or avocado) with 33g carbs, 23g fat, and 35g protein. Protein is kinda hard for me to get enough of so I was just trying to stuff as much of it as I could into my breakfast this morning. I think 35g is pretty good. If I wanted/needed to cut down on the fat, I could take out some of the egg yolks and use a low-fat cheese, I reckon.

    I usually have sugar-free oatmeal (with Truvia and heated in the microwave) and add a handful of blueberries and sometimes raspberries. For lunch, I eat a LeanCuisine, and for dinner, I make grilled chicken breast with Green Giant vegetable sides for one. These are really good because they have cheese sauce but are only 40 calories.

    This recipe makes you do all the work up front, it takes me 10 minutes to prep, if that (I am a master now). Also, it can be easily altered with whatever you have around. I make one pie plate every sunday to eat for the week. It is only 215-315 calories and it will fill you up all the way to lunch, or late lunch for that matter.

    Ingredients:
    12-16 oz of egg whites (i usually get a small carton of 100%)
    4 real eggs, (necessary to hold it together)
    1/3 lb of deli meat, any flavor
    1 package of shredded cheese, any flavor
    Veggies- Red Pepper (1/2), Onion(1/2), and any others you like
    1/2 can of beans OR 1 small potato (optional)
    Frank's Red Hot, 1/4-1/3 cup (optional)

    Instructions:
    Preheat oven to 360*
    Cut vegetables (I like them big)
    Cut deli meat/bacon, etc

    In a glass baking dish (pie plate or brownie pan for easy cleanup) combine the eggs and whisk them up. Then add everything else (set some of the cheese to the side though). Stir it around and add in some seasonings or Franks (note franks gives it a great flavor, but is not very spicy)!

    360^ Cover it and cook it for 55 minutes
    350^ Uncover it and cook it for another 35 minutes
    Note: Cooking time does vary. Just check it after an hour and make sure it is not liquidy

    Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and let it cool.
    Boom.
    Done.
    Just microwave for 30-60 seconds throughout the week!

    Note: If you are using franks i suggest cheddar cheese and cajun chicken or chipotle chicken. If you are not using franks I recommend ham and cheddar :). Also, I don't use the whole package of cheese but you can, or you can leave it out entirely.

    My go to breakfast smoothie - 1/3 cup plain yogurt, 2 cups spinach, 1 frozen banana, 1/2 scoop protein powder. For variety, I'll use different fruit, artificial flavors or mint. Since I am allergic to eggs, a lot of hot breakfast options are out for me. I don't taste the spinach and it helps keep my full all morning. My husband thinks I'm crazy to drink something green, but I don't let it bother me since it tastes good.
