Hey everyone! I am an "on the go" type of person... I like quick and easy things I can throw together with few ingredients.

Right now, my main go-to's are :

((BREAKFAST))1 Thomas' English Muffin, 1 whole Egg, 1 slice Cheese (in my Hamilton Beach Breakfast Maker!!)

((LUNCH))1 Joseph's Lavish Wrap, 1 can Tuna, 2 tbsp Hellman's Light Mayo, 28 g Shredded Cheese, Shredded lettuce

((DINNER)) Trader Joe's frozen "meats" such as Mahi Mahi burger or Veggie Patties on Trader Joe's Sandwich thins with a side salad and 2 tbsp dressing.

I will also throw in some fruit or nuts as a snack.

I am writing this post to get some more easy, on-the-go ideas with few ingredients... ANYTHING can help!!! Thanks!!! :)

    My go to snacks or meals are: Greek yogurt with almonds and bananas- I like country harvest protein bread with cream cheese, avocado and tomato- Protein powder with almond milk, peanut butter-Oatmeal with almond milk- Salad with black beans, red peppers, hardboiled eggs, and hummus

    One of my favorite quick meals.

    Thai Chicken Wrap

    1 medium flour tortilla
    2 Oz pre-grilled chicken breast strip
    Asian salad mix (toss the dressing) or cole slaw mix
    2 tablespoons Thai peanut sauce

    Heat the chicken
    Spread the sauce on the tortilla
    Add chicken and salad mix
    Add something crunchy like the wonton strips that come with the Asian salad mix or chow mien noodles.
    Wrap it up and eat it!

    I calculate this at 327 calories

    My son got one of those Hamilton Breakfast Sandwich Makers for Christmas. I thought it was a gimmick at first but I bet I use it 2 or 3 times per week. It's a great way to make breakfast. I usually add sliced ham or turkey on mine.

    For work I'll often bring a small bag of baby carrots and single-serving size hummos from Costco. It makes a great afternoon snack.

    Since I see that you like tuna, have you tried the new ranch-flavored tuna packets? They are so delicious that I don't need to put anything on the tuna.

    Mama Marys Stone Fire Brick oven style pizza crust- I cut these into four pieces for individual pizzas- 225 calories each

    I put a lot on them, but my favorite is Ragu sauce, frozen spinach (always on hand in the fridge, it put it on everything), tuna, capers, feta cheese (28 grams) and mozzarella cheese (14 grams)

    about 500 calories
