Do you eat eggs still? I eat an egg almost every day at some point either with my main meal or as a snack. They're good on salads. All I eat is baby spinach salads. So good and hearty.
I make bean salads a lot too. Get a can of mixed beans, a can of black beans, and some corn. Rinse them and mix them together, add some chopped red onion, jalapeņo, crushed garlic, green and red pepper, and cilantro. Season with salt, cumin, and chili powder, and a dash of sugar. Add lime juice and a bit of oil, et voila. I make enough for 3 days - and by the third day it's so fucking om nom nom.
I also make another easy salad that's good for a few days. Diced tomatoes, red onion, cucumbers, broccoli, and green peppers, with a bit of feta cheese, oregano and a simple oil + vinegar dressing. Super yummy.
Make wraps with lettuce instead of bread. Make couscous and quinoa (both are really simple and you can add whatever you want to them).
Eat a serving of broccoli every day with either lunch or dinner.
Veggies + hummus. Nom.
Cottage cheese + fruit or a teaspoon of jam is a good morning snack. Just be careful of the sugar in jam.
Cut sugar - especially hidden sugar like in fruit juices, cola, shit that isn't whole grain, dry cereal (Kashi Go Lean ftw), and CONDIMENTS (ie ketchup, bbq sauce, etc).
Definitely moderate your dairy. A serving of cheese is about the size of your finger, so ration wisely.
Peanut butter is great protein, but also counts as fat servings, so ration that wisely also.
I work 12 hour days and always have time to make healthy lunches (I eat breakfast, lunch, AND dinner at work. :/ ). It only takes about 20-30 minutes. You can do eeet!
