    I like to take some tuna, chop up a celery stalk, some red onion, and add mustard. Mustard has no calories and is zestier than mayo! Put it in a Flat Out Hungry Girl Fold It - 100% Whole Wheat With Flax with some lettuce and tomato. Super yummy and really filling!

    Fry 2 strips of bacon til crispy. Blitz 1 stalk celery, 1 carrot, 2-3 cloves garlic, handful of parsley, red pepper flakes, and some fresh rosemary stripped of the spring in a food processor, then saute in the bacon fat (having drained off excess until only 2T of fat in the pan) until veggies are softened. Toss in one can of cannellini beans (drained and rinsed) until beans are warmed. Salt if desired, and squeeze some lemon over it when off the heat. Serves 2, 350 cals per serving.

    Keep some boiled eggs around, then if I want something quick and easy, thaw some frozen spinach (I use about half a package), put some garlic and dill, roll it up in a low carb high fiber tortilla (La Favorita for 50 calories), add hot sauce or not. Or cheese, or not. Or put salsa, even instead of spinach. Or not.

    sorry - serves 1 at 500kcals. Sometimes I eat half of this for a small meal, but usually finish it off by the end of the day.

    So easy a caveman can do it.

    Bag of frozen veggies (I like broccoli, cauliflower and carrots)
    2 or 3 eggs
    1tbs olive oil or coconut oil

    Microwave the veggies in the bag - steam bags are great but regular frozen veggie bags microwave well in about 6 minutes.
    Cook the eggs over easy (or another if you prefer)
    Season both as needed.

    Pour the veggies in a large bowl and top with the eggs. The yolks will create a very rich sauce (if you cooked over easy/poached) that's fantastic over the veggies. Eat.

    You're looking at roughly 350cal(2 eggs) to 420cal(3 eggs) with a shot of good fats, loads of veggies and no evil grains.

    P.S. I don't care about the 'bad' things from microwaving food grade plastic bags of veggies.

    Couscous and frozen veggies. These days with the steamer bags I toss one of those in the microwave when I add the Couscous to the water. Wait the 5min mix it all together and I have a meal, plus leftovers... sometimes.

    I keep pitas in the freezer. I can almost always wrestle up some toppings to turn it into a pizza. They can go straight from freezer to oven.

    ^^ similar to this...

    I always have frozen veggies to toss in a frying pan with coconut oil, whatever meat i have leftover (chicken/ham) and then toss the eggs in. Drop it all onto a plate, add some olive oil and salsa. Not the prettiest meal, but quick and nutritious.

    We always have fresh veggies lying around and I don't mind the 5 mins it takes to slice and dice them...Although I do enjoy the pre-packaged broccoli slaw. It's awesome for omelets!

    Red onion, pepper, jalapenos, and green beans, usually, but whatever else. Stir fry until soft in some healthy oil. Add chopped spinach and shredded chicken or any other cooked meat if you have it handy and cover to steam for 2 mins. Add sriracha (a lot to taste, for me)
    Whisk 1 egg + 1/2 cup egg whites and toss that over top. Top with nutritional yeast, fold in two, and serve with salsa (homemade if you have it handy)...

    That's about 15 mins for me, enormous and filling!

    I also sometimes add kimchi with the veggies and fry until the liquid evaporates. No need for any spices or seasonings if you do that. I've also used roasted beets before and loved it.
