Healthy, Quick, & Easy

So, I was wondering, what are some of your healthy, quick, and easy meal ideas? 

One of my favorites, Steam in the bag veggies sprinkled with low fat feta.  Even better if it is the sun dried tomato and basil low fat feta.  Takes all of 5 min to prepare and fills me up with lots of vitamins, protien, minerals and fiber.

I'd love to here some more yummy ideas:)

For breakfast:

0.5 cups vanilla yogurt

0.75 cups Kashi Go Lean Crunch

banana

apple

2 tbsps raisins

Filling, not too high in calories, and super delicious!!

I'm a simple person so I eat simple things. One of my favorites is chicken spaghetti. Just 4 ounces of chicken grilled in a pan, 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce, 1 oz of pasta, and 1/2 cup of peas. yum!

another one is just a simple chicken sandwich. 4 oz chicken (100 cals) and light wonder bread buns (80 cals) with some ketchup.

feta and veggies sound super good tho. what's your fave low fat feta? the one I got was from trader joes and SUPER salty. 

Here is a recipe that I made up, but it is delicious.  Not sure if all the ingredients will convert as I am Australian (sorry about the metric weights).

The brand feta I use is ATHENOS, they have regular and low fat in 2 or 3 varieties.

i love feta cheese. low in cals and packed with flavor. that's my kinda food :)

for a "dessert" right now I just ate a gala apple with a 60 cal jello caramel pudding snack. talk about caramel apples. i love that one.

for dinner i had a jenni-o lean turkey patty with weight watchers bun and mustard. it was super good actually.
