    I make a huge batch of soup usually and then freeze portion sizes with calories written on bag. When I dont feel like making anything, I just thaw it and heat it in the micro :D

    I don't consider a salad cooking. I can do a simple spinach, cherry tomatoes, onions and feta cheese.

    I keep at least one frozen dinner that's usually around 350 calories here for emergencies. You can add some extra frozen veggies to it so it's more filling.

    But this time of year, all I have to do is ask hubby if he wants to go get fish tacos and we go out to eat. He loves sitting outside on their patio.

    This. Just made a big batch of Red Lentil Tomato--it's my grown up healthy version of Tomato Soup. If I have the calories I eat it with grilled cheese, if not, I just eat the soup. The lentils add a decent amount of protein.

    That is one brilliant idea! I am doing this now.

    Usually I will eat progresso or a couple of pierogis maybe pop some popcorn (on the stove, no butter no salt, maybe some garlic or onion powder). If I am in the mood, some eggs with cheese and mushroom. Otherwise, I'll go make someone else cook and just monitor everything they put in the food.

    1)Black bean and Cheese Quesadilla on wheat tortilla.
    2)Green pepper and onion omelet with cheese
    3)Granola cereal with vanilla yogurt
    4)Red Beans and Rice Gumbo
    5)Tomato-Spinach-Feta Cheese pita pizza (with or without sauce)

    Because I do these often enough, the ingredients are pretty much on the "staple" grocery list. Keeping spinach in the freezer will not only keep it preserved, but also make it easy to crumble. And all of these are CHEAP as well as healthy. Good luck!
