    Marinated chicken breast with some sort of "matching" rice - e.g. tandoori chicken with pilau rice; chipotle chicken with Cajun spicy rice; soy, chilli and ginger chicken with Chinese fried rice. I griddle the chicken (well I actually use my sous vide wand then finish it off under the griddle, but you can just do it all on the griddle if you want to!), and serve with some veg - normally spinach with the tandoori chicken, sweetcorn and peppers with the chipotle chicken and mixed stir fried veg with the soy chicken.

    premier protein iced coffee- I use chocolate shake and gevalia iced coffee ready made in fridge section. I add a splash of creamer- these days, it's almond joy, and I pour it over crushed ice. 30 grams of protein

    4 to 6 oz. of smoked salmon, 2 tablespoons of cream cheese, and raw red onion on a wheat english muffin.

    About 400 to 500 calories depending on how much salmon you use and can be thrown together in 5 minutes. High protein/fat so very filling, very reasonable calories for the volume, and quite tasty!

    A quick meal prep I make for my lunches a lot:
    Bird's Eye steamer bag of zucchini-lentil rotini in tomato sauce
    Boneless skinless chicken thighs
    a few kalamata olives
    diced onion
    diced mushrooms
    sometimes some zucchini
    a couple diced roma tomatoes
    2 oz tomato paste
    minced garlic

    I sautee the veggies and olives together with a little EVOO and the garlic until the onion is browned, then add in the chicken until cooked through. I mix in the tomato paste and the steamer pasta bag in at the end until combined. Sometimes I'll throw a little parm on the top.
    Tada! I split the whole pan between 2-3 containers for lunch. YUM.

    It sounds like a lot of work, but it really isn't. Most of it just gets thrown together after a rough chop, and I often use the chicken thigh strips that you can pick up fresh or frozen. Any protein works here though. I've also used left over keilbasa, italian sausage, and ground beef.

    Something I discovered I enjoy. Pepperoni dipped in mayo or Garlic Bread, Pepperoni and Mayo. For either a meal or snack. Yum!

    Is that tzatziki any good? Is it the walmart brand? I'm kinda picky about my tzatziki so I get nervous trying new ones LOL

    It's not bad. It's not the Walmart brand. You find it in the produce section.

    Greek yogurt! Always flavored so that I needn't add in fruits or chocolate or something to make plain Greek yogurt palatable.

    Tzatziki = greek yogurt + diced pickle + clove of garlic + salt + pepper

    Why would you ever buy it?

    It's convenient.
