Okay, so I used to love cooking! Now, I don't really have time to be chopping fresh veggies and stuff. I'll start with an easy dinner that made me appreciate healthy eating on a time budget.

Salmon
Butter
Eggs
Frozen broccoli
Lemon pepper

Heat up oil in pan
Place broccoli in microwave for 4-5 minutes
Put salmon skin side down in hot pan
Season salmon with lemon pepper and butter
When salmon half cooked, put a lid on it
Cook an overmedium fried egg
Place pat of butter in cooked broccoli

Take out salmon, top with egg, and there ya go!

32 g protein, 375 calories! Keto friendly, even though I'm not keto.

Breakfast
Scrambled or fried eggs + toast is my usual, maybe leftover oatmeal if I've got any
Maybe an omelet with cheese and parsley
Nothing creative here

Lunch
Turkey or ham sandwich usually, or leftover oatmeal

    My go to would have to be...

    8oz Chicken
    1-2 Tbs Paprika
    2 Tbs Chives
    1 medium Tomato (cut into chunks)
    2 hefty cups Spinach
    1 slice Cheese (I like pepper jack but anything works)
    *1Tbs each of Prechopped garlic and onion if I remember

    Cut the chicken into chunks and throw it into a pan (I use cast iron)
    Add chives and paprika when it's cooked 50%
    Add tomatoes, spinach, *onions, *garlic, when it's cooked 90%
    Add cheese when its cooked 100% and let it melt all over.

    Calories: Under 400
    Protein: 54g
    Carbs: about 20g



    Another one I've been eating a lot recently

    1 cup plain chobani yogurt
    1 packet light tuna in water (2 servings in 1 packet)
    1 large fuji apple

    Cut the apple into thin slices/chunks and mix all 3 together

    Calories: 386 (or less depending on size of apple)
    Protein: 49g
    Carbs: 47g (or less again depending on size of apple)

    Cal of diced heats of palm, keep the vinagarette as salad dressing, cut in tomatoes, celery, cumbersome, peppers, onion, really anything you have for a fresh colourful salad that can last all week
    Sometimes I cut chicken or mango in
    Coriander fresh is great

    Really whatever u have around

    Sounds good! I'm loving anything with cheese, and the salad sounds good with artichoke hearts :).

    A yummy breakfast, only bad thing is, lacks protein

    PB & Choc Oats

    Steel cut oats
    2-3 packs of splenda per medium bowl
    Pinch of salt
    Hershey's Unsweetened cocoa powder (generous)
    PB2 (generous)
    -230 cals
    ~10 grams protein

    Eggs!
    My go to food, quick batch of scrambled egg, or an omelet with some ham or bacon for additional protein

    I make omurice a lot... It's just quick fried tomato rice with a ten seconds soft flat omelette topping. Great way to use up old leftover rice!!
