    Chicken and sweet potatoes. I just throw it all in my pot and microwave it. Sometimes with a little barbeque sauce. Sometimes with broccoli and cauliflower. Sometimes with different seasonings. Sometimes in a tortilla. Sometimes with bell peppers and fajita seasoning. It varies. But I could pretty much live off chicken and sweet potatoes.

    2 eggs, 5 grams of grated Parmesan and 10-15 grams of bacon if I have it.

    Eggs for me, too! + whatever vegetables are closest to perishing + hot sauce

    I don't have a single go-to meal, but when I want a nice balanced meal with little effort I usually go for roasted vegetables (just add oil, seasonings and toss in the oven) and baked frozen fish (straight from the freezer to the same oven with the veggies).

    Our hens keep us well supplied so an omelet is also a common quick fix meal for us.

    Omelette on ryebread toast with a whatever salad.
    Or homemade soup with ryebread.

    I'm a little in love with ryebread

    Soup! Those Bear Creek soup mixes are generally around 100-120 calories per cup, and super easy to make. They're high in sodium, but if I need something fast and filling I'm not above using them for a quick dinner. I like the chicken tortilla one: I add rotisserie chicken for protein and sometimes I'll add in some potatoes and carrots to stretch it into a few more meals and to make it more filling.

    I'm a big fan of baked potatoes too. I keep frozen taco meat around at all times, and I love making a baked potato with taco meat, sour cream, salsa, whatever taco fixings I have on hand. I'll microwave the potatoes while I warm up the taco meat - dinner in 10 minutes!

    Usually I'll just throw some stuff in a wrap, whatever protein and veggies I have laying around.

    Sautéed chicken, garlic, mushrooms, zucchini and spinach with rice noodles, soy sauce, and an egg.

    Rice noodle cook in a bowl of boiled water for 8-12 minutes (2 oz).

    Egg pulls it all together and makes it hella creamy.

    I often skip the chicken and double the eggs.

    Yep, I have three default, healthy, no work meals with stuff that I always have on hand:

    half a can of chili over a microwaved potato
    4 oz of whole wheat pasta with a bag of frozen stir fry veggies, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder
    tortilla filled with refried beans and topped with salsa, lettuce, tomato, and avocado if I have it

    I keep the house well stocked with veg, beans salad stuff , tuna and chicken . so I can always pull together something that makes me smile and keeps me on track . I also make quinoa and brown rice leftovers into grain cubes and store in the freezer so it is quick to combine a couple in a pan add veg and a protein and have a quick balanced meal

    A cup of rice, can of tuna and steam up whatever veggies are around, maybe some lettuce. I might throw in balsamic dressing or some lite mayo. Fast mess of a bowl.
