    Kosher hotdogs. Not as nasty as regular hotdogs, but still processed, and I know better. But what can I do? I'm a steak-loving carnivore on a budget. Hotdogs are as good as it gets some days.

    Funny thing is, I was a vegetarian for years. But my go to food was still highly processed: frozen, microwavable veggie burgers.

    I really need to try turkey bacon. Would love to have a BLT but I'm trying to stay away from mayo.

    Breakfast. I'll do eggs or a bowl or cereal. I love breakfast at any time of the day :)

    If I don't mind cooking but can't be bothered making something 'real' then i'll microwave some frozen veg, sautée an onion and top with a grilled fillet of fish from the freezer (the 60cal ones that taste of nothing) seasonned with curry spices.

    usually cereal... or PB&J. Although lately, my husband and I just snack on celery and PB. Who wants to cook or eat anything hot when its hot right?:ohwell:

    I make a fresh tomato & basil pizza using Naan as the base, an ounce of lowfat shredded monterey jack cheese and a sliced roma tomato topped with Mrs. Dash tomato & basil seasoning, and garlic powder. I pop it in the toaster oven and dinner is ready!


    Yum! I'm gonna try this!!

    GNC Lean 25 in Chocolate Peanut Butter - mixed with water/ice + 1 80 calorie pudding pack .... and easy tasty summer meal replacement you gotta try!

    Also, each Sunday I make a huge batch of quinoa mixed with black beans, corn, and spinach. Warm this up in the micro, add some hot sauce -- dinner is served (And it tastes just like chipotle burrito bowls)!!!!!

    I love my slow cooker.

    Some boneless skinless chicken breasts, a can of spicy tomatoes, some carrots, celery, onions. Just trow it together in the morning, then boil some whole grain pasta in the evening...delicious :)

    A whole wheat tortilla wrap, spread a thin layer of Smart Balance peanut butter, and roll up with a banana. Yummy and fills me up.
