What's your favorite healthy meal?

I happen to eat a meal at breakfast that is fairly low in calories,filling and tastes pretty good. Its healthy for the most part in my opinion. But I usualy cook 2/3 cup of obrien potatoes in a small amount of butter and add 1/4 of onions,1/4 cup of green bell pepper and 1/4 cup of turkey sausage crumbles. So its a good source of protein and veggies in the morning.

Pinterest also has a lot of good ideas.

Eggwhites with chopped turkey and a few dashes of hot sauce scrambled.

Tuna with a super small amount of mayo wrapped in green lettuce.

Breakfast: Peanut Butter and Banana French Toast (I use whole grain bread) This keeps me full and it doesn't feel heavy for a morning workout.

Lunch: Baked potato, cheddar cheese with sour cream or a veggie omelet with cheddar cheese, sour cream and picante sauce

Dinner: One of my favorites is so easy. One pound of beef stew meat with 1 beef bullion cube and water to cover meat half way. Simmer for 2 hours with lid. (I don't even flour and brown the meat before hand anymore). Accompanied by brown rice and broccoli. My husband likes his with brown gravy since he's not fond of brown rice.

Hmm, I don't think I could pick a favorite healthy meal. For sure spaghetti with red sauce and venison meatballs would be one. But thick cut pork chops cook on the grill with cinnamon apples and collard greens would also be one. And I absolutely love brussel sprouts sautéed with smoked sausage. Chicken marsala is another favorite, as is pineapple, onion, arugula and hot Italian sausage pizza. And my husband makes the best blackened catfish I've ever tasted. That is a definite favorite with any veggie side. He also makes a mean jambalaya that I'd never say no too.

Geez, I could go on and on. Sorry I don't have any links but I don't use recipes when I cook.

Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs (lightly salted) with 1/2 pink grapefruit on the side (Texas Sweet Scarlets are my favorite)
Or- wrap made with whole grain and flax tortilla, scrambled egg, pan warmed ham or turkey, shredded cheddar jack, and picante sauce. Can also put black or green olives.

Lunch: wrap: take a tortilla (I like either Extreme Wellness spinach and herb or Santa Fe homestyle whole grain and flax) and spread about a tablespoon of light cream cheese on it, sprinkle with about a tsp of finely chopped fresh green onion, top with about 2 oz of shredded grilled or pan cooked chicken breast, sprinkle with about an oz of shredded cheese of choice (depending on how I season the chicken; if with Mexican spices, I use Mexican style cheese, if I use Italian seasoning, I use Mozzarella and Parmesan, if I use Cajun seasoning, I use triple cheddar cheese), If I do the Italian wrap, I add fresh sliced mushrooms, if I make the Mexican wrap sometimes I use a little salsa and black olives, finally, I cover with a handful of organic mixed baby greens, wrap it up and enjoy. These wraps are very filling. And they are just as good sans cream cheese and/or green onions.

Snack: 1 cup Dannon light and fit vanilla Greek yogurt with 1/2 to 1 banana and a serving of lightly salted mixed nuts all folded together.

For sweet cravings I love Muscle Pharm's Birthday Cake Combat Crunch bar (it tastes kind of like fruity pebbles to me, but better)

Dinner- oven fried chicken or venison and parmesan panko baked zucchini fries (I like to cut them kind of thick so I can really taste the zucchini)

My favorite breakfast- 1 egg, 3 egg whites scrambles with 1/2 oz mozzarella, bran buds and milk

Lunch- grilled marinated pork tenderloin with roasted potatoes with peppers

Dinner, I have a lot of favorites but salmon baked with blackening seasoning, white rice made with some coconut milk mixed in and black beans. Look up the Goya black bean and rice recipe, that's what I use. So delicious and super healthy.

24 ounce Ribeye with Horse radish or Blue cheese, mushrooms and Onions grilled in butter

Breakfast is usually a smoothie.Main meal is home made bean soup with salad on the side or lettuce wraps.

There is a sonoma diet recipe for stuffed chicken that I LOVE though I modify it a bit. The original recipe stuffs the chicken with feta and cooked spinach, but she has a variant that uses mushrooms that have been cooked in wine and garlic. I use the mushroom variation and goat cheese instead of feta and it is AMAZING. Also a big fan of mashed cauliflower - boil it up till soft, mash, mix in chicken base, parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper, and maybe a bit of cream cheese. Sooo good and can occasionally be passed off as mashed potatoes to unsuspecting small children ; ). Also most days I include a multigrain roll - pepperidge farm makes my favorite. All that for under 500 calories. Maybe throw in some broccoli or green beans if I'm really hungry.

In general I find that abundant seasoning is the key to enjoyable healthy food.

Baked chicken, baked red potato, and some thawed frozen broccoli. I have a good way of baking the chicken, light parmesan and Panko coating with garlic. It's really good. And very simple cause I'm a simple kinda man, like that Skynyrd song.

My favorite meal of the day is breakfast. I like eating a verity of things like; eggs, fresh fruit, Gluten free plain oatmeal with Pb2 mixed in, Tripple Zero Greek yogurt with protein powder or chia seeds mixed in, and almonds. If I'm going to the gym in the morning I eat a Protein bar just before my workout.

Just made this stew and it was so yummy - http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/slow-cooker-irish-beef-stew/

That is on the menu this evening but with Blue Cheese and it will not be quite 24 oz. Don't quite have the calorie allotment for that today. I am really looking forward to it.
