Lactic Folly Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Pack oranges, bananas, and tomatoes. Pretty quick to throw in the lunch bag, essentially no prep time needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks_14 Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Fruit/veggie smoothies!!! Total time to make = 5 mins. Blueberry spinach is my go to. 300ish calories, 3 servings of veggies,2 servings of fruit, 25 grams of protein, nominal sugar or fat, mine is super clean and doesn't taste bad either!

PurpleS Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Batch cooking and freezing - go to Costco and get a big thing of salmon/chicken breast and cook it all in one go to pack and store for 1 - 2 weeks. Super easy to bake in the oven or via slow cooker. Also works with veggies like broccoli and carrots. Also, cucumbers or peppers make a great snack along with your apples and carrots. Hummus is also pretty tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j17f Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Something quick and easy that I have been cooking and which is what I plan to do when I get into medicine is:- Cook a bunch of chicken breasts at the beginning of the week, and buy a big bag of frozen veggies. - Heat up a pan to medium and throw in some cut up chicken and frozen veggies. Cook them for a bit then put in a low cal marinade. Stir it around, cook for a bit more, and then its done. It's delicious and if you get sick of it just switch to a different flavour of marinade. You can cook this to eat right away, or pack it away in tupperware to bring to school or save it for other days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drstrange Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 How Do You Eat Healthy When You Can't Cook? A question I ask myself every time I eat mac'n'cheese. But solution for me is an agreement I made with my roommate. I help him with few subjects and he cooks for both of us occasionally. I'm just happy loves to cook.

cleanup Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I usually batch-cook some protein at the beginning of the week (usually baking, roasting, slow-cooking) like pulled pork, steak, chicken thighs. I batch-cook only a few days worth of a starch like rice or sweet potatoes as well as veggies (I find these items go weird/bland much faster) which is fine because they're typically very easy to prepare again halfway through the week. Then supplement with various things that keep extremely well and are ready-to-go like: Fruit (apples, oranges keep particularly well) Nuts Hard-boiled eggs (can keep for up to a week in the fridge). If you're uber lazy Costco sells little "Egg2Go" packets (2 to a package, 10 packages in a bag) for like $8. Peanut butter/almond butter (on apples, fruit, celery, etc.; might seem juvenile but it's extremely good for you and very easy to prepare) Various raw veggies including cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
