I follow the Skinnytaste website and group on Facebook and she has a breakfast prep that includes taco spiced meat, scrambled eggs and roasted potatoes. You could always change that to sweet potato or maybe a squash or any other veggie. She also has a chicken quiche that can be made crustless and lots of frittata recipes.

You could always do that with a small steak or a chicken breast in the morning for protein.

I have made a sweet potato, bacon and onion hash for breakfast at times.

Tonight I am making a cauliflower veggie fried rice and maple soy salmon. I've been making a lot of lentil dishes recently too.

I have made crustless quiches and fritattas for dinner at times.

I normally try and pack something light...salads with a protein, or yoghurt, berries and nuts. I try and avoid heavy foods like pasta or anything with rice.

I work rotating shifts but majority of them are overnights. I usually try and pack a lighter meal (soup or salad) with a protein. Tonight I am taking a kale salad with two small salmon cakes and a homemade dressing. I also will be taking a small snack...a babybel cheese and some mini carrots...or possibly an instant…

I used to make harissa chicken (recipe from Skinnytaste) and have had it with quinoa, rice or even as part of a wrap (lettuce and bread). I usually have cucumber with it as the sauce has a nice hit of spice.

Tim Horton's breakfasts! Especially when I am coming off of overnights and starving, I get them. Trying to cut down on them now though.

Quinoa salads are something I take a lot. Or daals and quinoa can be eaten room temperature.

I still struggle with this. I go back and forth with shifts each week - some weeks I work all 8-4s, others I work 8-4s, 4-12s and a 12am-8 all in the same week. It's hard not just on my sleep schedule but to try and get to the gym and have any sort of social life. I am trying to lose weight and get healthier for my…

I make either mini crustless quiches or a slice of a full crustless quiche and fry up some sweet potato and onions for a hash.

I am 293 at the moment and trying to lose.

I am in!

Skinnytaste and Sweet Peas and Saffron. Sweet Peas and Saffron posts a lot of meal prep ideas and has meal prep challenges that I have taken part in and enjoyed the food.

For me it is pasta. I don't have it nearly as often now but I still want to be able to enjoy it when I can. And now that I have been following the Skinnytaste blog I found recipes to try that don't make me feel that after indulgence guilt because I have it in the right portions with healthier ingredients. The other thing I…

You can always make a quinoa salad with lots of veggies. Oh She Glows cookbooks have breakfast bars and crackers that you could make to snack on. Healthier versions of muffins.

I will still have a burger with fries occasionally but I will often eat the burger sans bun and halve the fries or order a side salad instead. When I cook burgers at home, I wont have the bun and will make some other type of side.

I haven't tried Blue Apron but have been on Hello Fresh for a while. I really enjoy the Hello Fresh meals and they normally have a pretty good selection of meals and the fact that select items are already prechopped (I hate cutting onions) is always good in my books. I also like that I can opt in and opt out every week. If…

I use plain Greek yoghurt to make savory sauces, usually with garlic or I have made a chipotle lime sauce with it as well.

My fiance has the same issue. He won't go for seconds on any other meal except dinner. In between we try and include small snacks so that he doesn't get tempted by other things. A lot of people from his work bring in cookies and etc and he struggles not to have any if he doesn't have healthy snacks with him.

A while back I would prepare quinoa, have chickpeas or beans rinsed and in a container and a whole bunch of chopped up veggies that I could just throw in with the quinoa in the morning. You could make some dressings or sauces ahead of time and put it in a second container to have with your lunch.

I have become so dependent on breakfast sandwiches and I am trying to find different things to try. Once I get back on my trip i want to see how many different breakfasts I can try or create. Something a little different every day.

Are you looking for primarily meatless recipes with chickpeas? I have a recipe for a lamb and chickpea soup that is really good. And a few salad recipes.

I have also taken Greek yoghurt with berries and homemade granola. Or made a veggie quesadilla and homemade salsa.

I usually do vegetarian lunches...quinoa or slaws. Or Buddha bowls.

You could also try doing quinoa salads. There is one I tried where it is a sweet potato, lentil and pepper salad.

Check out sweet peas and saffron. She does meal prep recipes and challenges.

I make vegetable soups, veggie curries and daals. I also tried making side salads full of veggies and make my own dressings so that I know what is going into them.

We don't eat out a lot during the week but when we are going to eat out I look up the menu on the restaurants website and see what options they have. At times I will ask them to place half in a to go container and have the rest at the table or I look for the fish or chicken meals and see if they allow substitutions, for…
