Tuna salad sandwich is a go-to for us. Pile it on a high fiber bread! Or, rub a little oil on a baked potato and rub a little sea salt on it. Bake in the oven so the skin is crispy and top it with Amy's Organic Black Bean Chili and a little low fat shredded cheddar. SUPER FILLING. |

These are great ideas. My only concern is the sodium content of canned foods so this should not be something that is done regularly. |

I keep Fiber One wraps in the fridge and there are all kinds of things you can do with them. Yesterday I put Weight Watchers cream cheese with a little salsa and a handful of fresh spinach on a wrap. Yummy. Hummus works well in them. I also put Cabot 50% reduced fat cheese, cucumber slices, tomato slices, a squeeze of lemon and a tiny drizzle of olive oil. I really love adding argula or fresh spinach. This works on toasted whole wheat bread, too. Some of these things may sound strange, but as I've made changes toward healthy eating, I crave healthy food more now. Oh, and you can get individual servings of salmon in a pouch. I've put that in a wrap, too. lol |

Our favourite quick meal, especially in the summer is a veg. "taco" salad. Fresh spinach, (sometimes lettuce) and whatever other fresh salad veggies I have on hand: cucumber, tomatoes, avacado, bell peppers, olives. Next I crunch a few low-sodium corn chips on top, next a layer of beans (sodium-free black beans for hubby and I, baked for my kids, sometimes refried as a treat for my older child and I). The kids sometimes eat the veggies first and then use the chips whole to scoop up the beans. Hubby and I eat ours with salsa and a smaller drizzle of a naturally lower fat dairy-free dressing. This could of course be made with beef/chicken, cheese, and sour cream/plain yogurt. My kids LOVE this meal and they can both be very picky eaters, they have even learned to love spinach. Somtimes I'll put this into wraps instead of using the chips. A smoothie and WW toast or a WW toasted english muffin is another summer favourite. I buy lower sugar jams and spread the PB really thin. WW pita pizzas are really tasty and way quicker than making a crust from scratch. With a generous portion of sauce (I sometimes just use spaghetti sauce) and lots of fresh spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes and sometimes pineapple I don't miss the cheese at all. (if you try this keep an eye on them as they burn easily). Tonight we had Schneider's Oh Natural "Chicken" burgers on WW burger buns, they are really tasty but high in sodium (and a bit pricy) so I don't serve them often. |

I like the idea of keeping things stocked for an easy last minute meal. Sometimes it's fun to create a meal with what you have on hand. Then there are evenings when what I need is a no brainer meal idea. |

Great ideas! Thanks! I always have eggs on hand, can always do something with them, in a pinch. |

My quick go to meal is a protein fruit smoothie. Throw 1 cup of frozen strawberries and 1/4 cup blueberries in blender with cup of water and 1 scoop Supplement RX vanilla protein and it's a thick sweet smoothie! Very filling too. |

My go to meal is a bean broth: sweat and onion (and garlic if you have any) in a smidgen of oil for a couple of minutes then add a tin of chopped tomatoes, a tin of beans (any but I find cannellini work best) and some paprika then simmer for about 10 minutes. You can also had some salami or ham and other vegetables to make is more substantial. It's good because the main things (tomatoes and beans) are tinned and so you can always have them on hand. |

Oh another one I thought of is an egg mcmuffin. Scramble an egg and put on a toasted muffin (or I have used a thin bun too and just as good) and add a little shredded cheese. Quick and easy! |

My go-to meal is cereal. I always make sure I have skim milk and cereal on hand, especially in the summer when it's hot out. I will have a piece of fruit with it as well usually. |

My go-to meal is brown rice, chicken, salsa and cheese, or better yet, black beans instead of rice. |

Love the burrito. If your chicken is frozen try it without the chicken, tastes just as good. |

My go to meal has always been this concoction that my ex-husband created. He always had the best creative ideas with little food. Anyway, cook some brown rice and refried beans, put a layer of cooked rice on your plate, then a layer of hot beans....at this point we would add whatever we had on top of this base, things like a bit of shredded cheese, fresh veggies of any kind cut up into bite size pieces, avocado (we had a tree) or guacamole, plain yougurt, black ollives, onion of any kind, various torn up lettuces, chickpeas. This list could go on forever, but you get the idea. We always seemed to add salsa of some kind to the top though. Take care Eat well. |
