Everyone has those go-to meals that don't require a recipe, that are easy, healthy and satisfying. What is yours?
I'd like to add to my rotation.
Right now, my go-to is a turkey chili. It's semi-healthy, but involves a lot of canned items.

    Mine is egg white scramble with turkey bacon (Costco -Columbus brand) spinach, fresh basil and a little goat cheese crumbles.

    Or, a taco salad with a base of arugula, tomato, ground turkey, plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream and traders joes harvest salsa...skip the chips and cheese

    My daily go-to is chicken breast with sauce, and a jello cup at the end. I buy packs of chicken breast and cut them into serving size portions (4oz) ahead of time. I keep teriyaki, orange ginger, and sweet chili sauce in my fridge at all times. I just cook on the oven top cubed chicken, and when it's half cooked pour 1-2 tablespoons of sauce over the chicken. I finish with a sweet jello cup (25 cal, and less than $3 for 12). In total it ends up being 250ish calories (estimating high) and it leaves me satisfied. If I'm super hungry I'll add a serving of Orzo or brown rice with my chicken and it'll definitely be filling. I just find ending a meal on a sweet note always makes it more satisfying

    Pumpkin spice pancakes - one cup cottage cheese, one cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 or 2 eggs, dash of pumpkin spice- you just blend it up in the blender and cook like any other pancake. You can substitute apple sauce instead of pumpkin.

    What I call Taco Chili. 1lb ground turkey, can of roasted diced tomatoes, can of black beans, can of corn, packet of taco seasoning. A little bit of water, (whatever the taco season suggest). I brown the meat, add the taco seasoning and water let simmer a few mins, then add all the canned items. Simmer for about 20-25 mins. I serve mine w/ brown rice.

    That sounds delish. Do you have nutritional info handy?

    My quick easy lunch is deli meat, cheese and veggies on an extreme wellness wrap with a side of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.

    Favorite fast dinner is two fried eggs/two slices of bacon on a sandwich skinny with a side of some quickly sautéed veggie.

    I take a heated 80 calorie ww tortilla, add 1/2C heated, refried vegetarian black beans, 1/2 oz. Cheddar, lettuce, tomato & lots of hot sauce. I add avocado if I have the spare calories.

    Eggs and tortillas are my go to as well, mixed with whatever I want that day. Pinto beans & egg whites with hot sauce topped with guacamole. Soyrizo (vegetarian chorizo) fried with eggs and a little cheese on tostadas or corn tortillas. Eggs are a great low calorie food. Also, tuna noodle salad on 35 calorie bread/toast is under 400 calories and I ate a vegetarian version of that with baby carrots today. I also have a recipe soup that is under 70 calories per serving.

    Coconut curry with veggies and tofu (protein of choice). Super simple and takes less than 15 minutes to make. I use one can of coconut milk, water, curry paste, and spices. Add in veggies of your choice and you're done. Eat with rice
