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.
