Strangefruit 179 Posted November 6, 2012 I use these too all the time. I wrap them up in a lettuce wrap with a little shredded cheese for lunch. I also chop them up and up them in my egg beaters. Great idea... Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keldolbeth 262 Posted November 6, 2012 I've been hooked on Morningstar Farms classic grillers. Never thought I'd be a veggie burger person but they are good! And they are thin so I can eat almost a whole one, which is 15g of Protein. Add a slice of cheese and reduced sugar ketchup.< /p> Also, I love the chicken sausage too. Emeril's are my fave but they about 1.5x as expensive as Johnsonville. Plus, Jville microwave better. I add a little spaghetti/pizza sauce and parmesan cheese. Mmm! Tyson and Perdue have come out with lightly breaded chicken nuggets and strips. I want to say 5-6g of carbs for 3 oz. These three items are my most popular "quick foods." As a single woman with no kids sometimes it's hard to get motivated to cook for one person Another tip, pack your lunch the night before! It's a difficult routine to get into but I make sure I put together a lunch-sized portion of my leftovers to just grab and go in the morning. I keep laughing cow and cheese sticks stocked in the communal fridge at work. I usually have nuts, Protein Bar and Peanut Butter in my desk. There's no one solution for everyone so just find what works for you! 1 chad2rad reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ESP with Heinz 57. The morning star fills me with out weighing me down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isajck 229 Posted November 7, 2012 Nutritionists live in an ideal world. We live in the real world. Nutritionists' advice is a guideline. Some of us are very busy. We don't cook; I don't know how to cook. Low-cal frozen dinners with preservatives are better than my OLD eating habits. Amen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isajck 229 Posted November 7, 2012 While this thread is about frozen dinners, I also like purchasing rotisserie chickens. By switching up sides and using different sauces I can get several tasty meals out of one. 1 chad2rad reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
