Easiest Healthy Meals to Make

So I'm in college, I've got a stove/oven, a microwave, and a few pots n pans.

But I don't know how to cook.

And I have no imagination/am picky when it comes to food.

And I'm kinda broke.

And I'm trying to eat healthy (lots of protein, moderate amount of carbs, low fat).

Any help? Post your tastiest, easiest, most healthy meals that you use on the reg.

solid white albacore tuna in a can
drain it and dump it in a bowl. don't break it up
squeeze lime over it
add salt & pepper
add diced tomato
add cucumber slices
eat

Yes! I eat tuna sometimes but its usually tuna-fish sandwhiches. But I've never tried that, good start

salad. cheese, lettuce, tomato, meats, dressing etc. easy as it gets :P

If you want mercury poisoning do what Slylee said.

take 20 centrum vitamins and eat ramen.

plenty of time to eat after college.

Just stock up on chicken and turkey breasts and get yourself some fresh herbs (rosemary, basil, thyme are my personal staples), and mix things up with your marinades. I make fresh chicken caesar salads all the time with my own dressing (because it's healthier).

Recipe for dressing is really easy:
2 cloves garlic
2 egg yolks
2 anchovy filets OR 4 tsp anchovy paste (anchovy paste keeps longer!)
2 tbsp capers
2 tbsp worchesterchire sauce
1-2 juiced lemons (acid to oil ratio should be 1/3 acid to 2/3 so be careful with the lemon juice)
1 cup olive oil
2 tsp dijon mustard
salt + pepper to taste

That makes about 1 1/2 cups of dressing...which is a lot if you're not planning to use it right away. Gotta remember there's raw egg in there so it won't be good for much longer than 3-4 days. But yeah you can cut that recipe in half. Once you make it a few times you'll know how to play around with your measurements and stuff.

I always marinate and grill or broil my chicken a day or two ahead of time and just refrigerate it. I don't have time to do that shit every fucking night cause I'm so busy...but doing it ahead of time is the pwn.

Something else I make when I want a healthy snack is lettuce wraps. Use some iceberg or bib lettuce as the shell, and put some shaved turkey breast and a few slices of your favorite cheese, and a little bit of mayo or mustard in there...roll it up and you're good to go.

Can't go wrong with protein shakes. You can make oatmeal pancakes with a scoop of protein powder in them as well, and that's pretty tasty, though the texture leaves something to be desired. Just use the same amount of oats you'd use for a serving of hot cereal, 3 egg whites, and a scoop of protein powder...blend that shit and make your pancakes.


Oh, and eggs ftw. Scrambled, hard boiled, omelets, any time of day ftw.


Salmon is another easy one. I prefer the filets with the skin left on because the fat makes it tastier. Just season it with some salt + pepper, throw some minced garlic on it, add some fresh dill, a squeeze of lemon juice, a couple slices of lemon on top and a little bit of butter...wrap it up in tin foil and bake it in the oven.



Oh, I also like Kashi Go Lean cereal in the morning. About 1/2 to 1 cup with a few tablespoons of vanilla yogurt and 7-8 almonds is fucking so good.

and if you are a fattie and need to lose weight, low fat ceasar =

anchovies, parmesan, garlic + replace eggs and oil with low fat balkan yogurt or cum.

I think it is safe to say that everyone prefers cum.

Oh yes! Parmesan! Forgot about that! The dressing NEEDS parmesan.

And it's not a big deal to include fat in your diet, especially if you're doing the high protein/low carb thing. Your body NEEDS fat...just make sure you're not overdoing it.

Oh also, peanut butter...though it is a fairly good source of protein, counts as a serving of FAT. So if you're gonna be eating it, don't use more than a tablespoon. Even that's pushing it.

-Marinated chicken breasts (cut that shit up into small pieces)
-Green/red peppers (chop that shit up into dices)
-Onion
-Little bits of tomatoes and/or white button shrooms
-Rice

Start by cooking the chicken in a pan, then cook veggies with a little drop of olive oil, add spices (I like to use thyme/parsley/basil), add a very little bit of sauce for subtle taste (either stir fry, soy or anything sweet), mix in the chicken, add the rice last and mix that shit up.

Alternatively you can use fish instead of chicken.

Takes maybe 20 minutes if you time it correctly.

I can give you my recipe for chicken soup if you want. Make a bunch and freeze it, you'll have enough for a month. Not much better for you than some tasty chicken soup!!

Is that the one that looked like a semi-digested version of slylee's fetus soup?

Lol, if you think so. Yes.

Nice.

Look, if I had taken pics of it with a proper camera, you'd be saying otherwise, ok?

"It's a boy!"

mmm soup, that sounds pretty hard to make.

and i don't actually know how to cook a chicken breast, like timing and whatnot

just eat it raw, sushi style.

Oh! Forgot about one of my favorites!!! Chicken pesto wraps!!

Spread about a tablespoon of pesto on a whole grain tortilla (like you're saucing a pizza). Then get yourself a roasted chicken (or roast one yourself, or just use grilled chicken breast), shred it or cut it into chunks, and add it to the tortilla. Dice some red onion and avocado, and add this as well. Add some chunks of frozen spinach, sprinkled some of your favorite cheese on top, and put it under the broiler for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and the spinach is thawed.


Take it out of the oven, roll it up, and enjoy!!

Just buy a whole roasted chicken from the grocery store then. Take off the white meat and use it for wraps/salads/sandwiches/whatever, and put the carcass/wings/ aside.

Chop:
1-2 onions
2 celery stalks
1 large carrot
a good handful of fresh parsley
Any other veggie you want...I like mushrooms and parsnips in mine, last time I put turnip.

Put all of that in a large pot. Add 1-2 whole cloves of garlic (whatever your preference), 1 or 2 bay leaves, and a few whole sprigs of fresh thyme. Salt + pepper to taste.

Add your chicken carcass, and add enough water to just cover it. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 4 hours. Make sure you're checking on it every 30 mins-hour and skimming the fat, or else it'll be greasy and that's fucking gross.


If you want noodles, wait till the end to add them. Potatoes are a good, hearty addition as well.


You want to know how to roast a chicken? Lol.



edit: Don't forget to take all the bones out of your soup once it's done cooking, lol.

Oh sorry...yeah it's really easy. I always broil mine.


Take your broiling pan and it put on the top rack of your oven, so it's about 4 inches from the the heat. Jack the oven up to broil and let it preheat for 10-15 minutes. When it's ready, brush a bit of olive oil on the pan and add your chicken to it.

Should take anywhere from 7-10 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken. You'll know it's cooked when it's no longer pink inside/the juices run clear.

With broiling you kind of have to be diligent, otherwise you risk overcooking it and it'll be dry and nasty. Again, once you do it a few times you'll know how long to cook it for.
