    For me it is either a simple lettuce and tomato salad with oysters poured on top or almond butter sandwiches...

    Healthy Choice Chicken and Rice Microwaveable soup bowls. 190 Calories and an ample amount of protien and sodium for my fitness level. Sodium is something that I do not worry about because of (disgusting) the amount I sweat when I exercise.

    i felt like this today and had a green smoothie:
    mix, spinach and almond milk. Add a banana, whey protein and any kind of fruit you want. yummmm, you can't even taste the spinach. Also, i am pretty full after 2 tall glasses.
    I also had some greek yogurt.

    Peanut butter and banana sandwich!!! yummmm
    Or a sandwich with tuna, turkey or some other meat.

    Cereal

    a plate of crackers, cheese, carrots, celery and whatever else you want with some fruit-like a health buffet lol

    What I do is I have pre-baked marinated chicken strips stuffed in snack size ziploc bags in my freezer ready to go at anytime. Pop it in the microwave for 1min and my meal is done. Easy!

    I don't cook unless it's for someone else. My meals are made in under 5 minutes when I'm flying solo. The microwave is my best friend! I love to whip up a good protein smoothie though. I'll splurge and spend about 7 minutes on that. :)

    Tuna! The Starkist tuna pouches have prepared tuna salad, or different flavors and twists on tuna. Also they have great quick and easy recipies on the back that are super high in protien, low in fat and calories! I liked the starkist hickory smoked tuna quesadilla, recipie is on the back- takes about 5-10 minutes to make!

    I also like to quick grill up talapia and steam broccolii I have done that meal so many times I can make it in 10 minutes tops. I buy the individually wrapped talapia fillets, thaw by running under running water for a few minutes, spray both sides with butter spray, sprinkle lemon pepper, gril a few minutes each side and done! Love that meal! If you don't like fish grill a chicken breast super quick. I buy the bags of individual chicken breast, thaw in the microwave for a minute or two, cook on the george forman grill with some lemmon pepper.

    Turkey sandwich on toast, I use the Rudi's spelt bread. Turkey breast (i use quite a bit so I fill up on one sandwhich) , some light mayo and tomoto.

    Buy the tysons ready to eat grill chicken breast strips., I heat those up on a pan with some Ken's light vadallia (sp?) onion dressing and some onion and some pepper strips (i buy the birds eye frozen pepper strips) Spit the mix between 2 La Tortilla high fiber, low carp green onion tortillas. Another one of my favs.

    I keep a couple of Gorton's Signature Grilled Haddock fillets in the freezer for when I want a low calorie and quick meal. I usually cook up some brown rice and frozen spinach if I don't have any fresh vegetables to work with. Each fillet is 70 calories and come two to a box. I usually have 2 (140 cal), with 3/4 cup of brown rice (~160 cal) and 3/4 cup of spinach (45 cal). Very easy, low calorie and a fairly healthy/well rounded meal.

    I do the same thing! I make a batch of brown rice and put 1/2 cup portions in zip locks, then when I need a quick healthy meal, I throw the frozen brown rice in the bottom of a bowl add frozen green beans or broccoli then top with a Gorton Fish. Cover with a plate and microwave for 7 minutes, then top with really great balsamic vinegar.

    Scrambled eggs or hard boiled. A handful of nuts and a slice of good hard cheese. Jerky. Or decide that if I don't have enough energy to cook then I may not need food, I need sleep and go to bed. :)
