Last night's Mushroom, spinach, and tomato stuffed chicken.
For lunch today, I thought I'd change it up from my traditional veggie salad to this Cranberry, orange, apple salad.

Another simple tapas dinner. This looks elaborate but only takes 30 minutes to put together. A small spanish tortilla is started by frying a thinly sliced smalll onion and large baking potato with olive oil until potato is soft. The potato/onion mixture is stirred into 3 or 4 beaten eggs which is meant to rest 15 minutes before frying 2 minutes each side in a small nonstick pan. In the meantime prep feta and halved cherry tomato scattered with dry oregano and drizzled with olive oil. This needs to be roasted for 8 minutes in the air fryer to smear on toast. There is time enough leftover to make a green salad and slice up a little serrano ham and salami.

On a typical day I have a couple "real meals" and the rest is what I would call "modular snacks" or gap fillers: smaller meals made up of easily portioned components that are specifically chosen to hit my macro/nutrition goals. Here are two examples:
1. Chicken breast cooked sous vide with herbs, white wine, and olive oil; half a Cara Cara orange; roasted hazelnuts.
2. Canned Albacore tuna with raw carrot and mayo.

This thing turned out to be a monster lol. It has... roasted chicken, brussel sprouts and sweet potato 'croutons', on spinach, broccoli, carrot, pepper jack cheese, a boiled egg, olives and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting.

Had a busy weekend, made Cherry Cheese Danishes:
and
Tarragon Potato Gnocchi in a Roasted Carrot sauce with Zucchini, Bacon and Pumpkin Seeds
(yes that looks like a lot of bacon because it's also all the meat i was eating for the day, which amounted to only 3 strips.)

I made Cranberry chicken salad. I had to cut the amount of cranberries in 1/2 to keep under my goal of 30g sugar for today. I also was out of pecans so I used pistachios instead.7 -
Udon with dashi, kakiage and futomaki.

@SafariGalNYC Yum! You've made me hungry. One fun thing I learned last year is that I can add avocado instead of oil to my salads. Of course if I still need more fat for the day I also add both, hehe. Your shrimp salad looks amazing. OK I'm off to the fridge now haha2

Amazing calorie save!
I’m going to try this!! Thanks @takinitalloff3 -
@SafariGalNYC Let me know what you think! By the way I don’t turn the avocado into “dressing” — I simply add the avocado pieces to the salad, and toss lightly.0
