Hi

I'm a university student hoping to lose about a stone.
Does anyone have any healthy (but filling) meals for one?

Thank you

    I saute chicken breast (cut into squares) with onions and red bell peppers and put over rice, pasta, or potato. I'll spice it differently depending on what I feel like eating. Sometimes I'll add other veggies like broccoli, asparagus, or mushrooms.

    I'm not sure what your food storage situation is like, but I am a grad student and I always make a large meal with multiple servings. I portion it out right after I make it into Tupperware containers so I have the perfect size meal to grab and reheat all week!
    I do things like beans and sausage, zucchini lasagna or pasta, and taco bowls (all the taco ingredients minus the shell)!

    ^ I'm with the above. Freeze the extra and then you don't have do much to worry about on a busier day.

    Definitely. I cook for 3 and that's hard enough, 1 is really tricky, especially if you're trying to control portions. I always cook a big batch and freeze leftovers in tupperware.

    I cook a pot of beans and a pot of rice at least once a week. You can use either or both, with a couple of added ingredients, for all kinds of lunches and dinners throughout the week.

    Beans & Rice
    Burritos
    Fiesta Salad
    Stir Fry (rice)
    Soup
    Chili
    Rice & Milk
    Enchiladas
    Rice Salad
    Baked Beans
