recapitulation:

meal ideas!

low energy (“do not ask me to do any prep work at all, so help me god”)

  • mozzerella cheese wrapped in pepperoni (“pizza tacos”!)
  • hummus and pretzels or naan (putting the naan in the microwave for like 10 seconds…heavenly)
  • canned chili (with shredded cheese and sour cream if you have it! boom done!)
  • instant miso soup (warm and lovely!)
  • cheese and cured meat, olives, canned fish, crackers, dried fruit, or whatever easy “charcuterie” type items you like
  • alternate bites of apple and spoonfulls of peanut butter (mixing honey or chocolate chips to the peanut butter is my favorite)
  • a “deconstructed sandwich”: bites of lunch meat, pickles, cheese, cherry tomato, etc (I love roast beef and white cheddar for this)
  • yogurt and granola or fruit

medium energy (“I’ll boil water but don’t ask me to chop shit”)

high energy (“I don’t mind chopping some things up!”)

other tips:

  • whenever you think of a meal you’d like to make, take 3 seconds to google search it, take a screenshot of the image results, and put it in a “food ideas” folder. instant visual menu!
  • if you’re on instagram, there are a bajillion different recipe accounts that post videos! a few of my favorites: jipsoon_kitchen, eatwitzo, cordandthekitchen, chungeats, tiffy.cooks, two_plaid_aprons

This is all great!

I got this website from a nutritionist and it’s become my absolute favorite way to find new recipes. The search filter options are fantastic! Sorting by method really helps me because I think that’s what makes the biggest difference in how much energy you need.

And here are some other ideas for low/medium energy meals:

  • Cottage cheese with crackers, fruits and/or veggies.
  • Guacamole with veggies and/or tortilla chips
  • Chickpeas/garbanzo beans with tzatziki. You could add rice, lettuce/spinach, and/or pita.
  • Buffalo cauliflower with yogurt dip. You can roast or microwave the cauliflower, top it with hot sauce, and add bleu cheese or shredded cheddar on top.
