    steamed white fish with a couple of cups of mixed vegetables (fresh or frozen), and topped with a sauce of quark, parsley, spring onions, green chili and black pepper. Delicious.

    Individual flatbread pizzas have been our go-to lately. Quick and easy, and can tailor it to match my day by using less or more toppings.

    2 fried eggs on toast with tinned tomatoes and a sprinkling of mature cheddar. It takes literally 5 mins to make and is my takeaway avoidance meal.

    For stir fry you can go really quick and dirty with a bag of broccoli slaw and whatever else you can be bothered with. A little soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and some spice goes a long way (onion, garlic, ginger). Ground meat or a frozen ground substitute cook up very fast to go with. Could even put an egg on/in it. 10-15 minutes maybe?

    At home my quick go-to meal for lunch is half a whole wheat bagel, 1 tbsp light mayo, two slices of tomato, and 2 oz. of smoked salmon. It's really satisfying and feels like a treat.

    When I go out for lunch my quick go to meal is L&L BBQ to get a Hawaiian Beef BBQ bowl or their poke bowl. Both are low cal and can be ordered with brown rice.

    Tuna with mayo on ritz crisp and thins
    Green beans, cherry tomatoes, cucumber with olive oil and balsamic
    scrambled eggs with whatever I have in my refrigerator
    I cook a bunch of chicken breasts in my instant pot each week and shred them and keep them in the refrigerator and its an easily accessible protein
    Protein shake, mix with water

    Strawberry poppyseed chicken salad from Panera
    Wendy's baked potato with butter
    Wendy's Jr Bacon cheeseburger with 4 pc chicken nugget, no dipping sauce

    Omelets: olive oil or butter in small skillet, any veggies or herbs: broccoli, onions, spinach, cilantro, basil, heirloom tomatoes, bell peppers, etc. cooked until tenderness of liking, throw in one lightly beaten egg, maybe sprinkle a little cheese, can add meat, season to liking, heat over medium low. Quick, easy, as nutritious as I want to make them, and very satisfying.

    Variations on crack slaw. That is, ground meat, onion, chopped cabbage, flavor to match the cuisine of your choice. Tonight's was taco flavored, but I have been doing quite a bit of curried lately, as well. I also do a New Orleans mix, something like dirty rice, but with cabbage.

    Tacos. Quick, easy, filling. And easily fits into my goals for the day. If I can't afford the taco shells then taco salad is a great alternative. Also I keep chicken patties on hand. I'll bake em up, and then dice them over salad fixing. Super fast and easy.

    Speaking of egg bites - I made my own egg muffins at home. You can make them how you prefer, but usually I use eggs, 1 frozen tater tot in each muffin, cheese, cooked sausage, spinach and some red and/or green peppers. I eat it with some hot sauce or salsa and yummy! Can keep in fridge for days and eat on during the week.

    My stay on track, pretty easy meal is tacos. You can brown taco meat quickly and make it fit your calorie goal with the shell/lack thereof and toppings you choose...plus my kids love them.

    I make egg muffins on weekends too! I like it vegetarian but my kids like it when I put mini sausages.
    I usually add Spinach, Green onions, Cheese and one other veggies like red peppers, cooked corn or half of mini tomatoes. I eat it as a snack almost everyday! Kids like em too ;)
