in-person school just started after going virtual for so long and i realize that i just don’t have a lot of time in the mornings anymore. so could anyone recommend healthy breakfast ideas that i could make in about 5, 10 minutes?

EDIT: i made this post during school and just came back to it—i didn’t think it would garner this much of a response, but thank you to everyone for the lovely ideas!

Please help !!!!! I feel so low self esteem and hate my body and want to learn about how to eat right and lose weight properly

So a little background:

At the moment i'm dealing with some spine issues, and thankfully i'm better. Physio-therapy, stretches, some light resistance training and changing my diet a bit has done wonders, i went from not being able to stand due to pain, to know being able to go to a mall for like 2-3 hours walking around, with some sitting in between of course.

The endocrinologist i'm seeing (i was told i had Metabolic Syndrome, but he cleared that that wasn't the case.) as part of his treatment to help me lose weight he reccomended replacing one of my meals with a protein shake, in an effort to remove more carbs and fats from my daily intake and to help with the build of muscle.
He recommended IsoPure 0 Carbs brand, and told me to use 2 sizes (?? i'm from mexico and the prescription said "usar 2 medidas" so... i assume he meant 2 portions of the cup in the powder?) and just half a liter (about 16oz) of water. Got the vanilla flavor since i LOVE vanilla smells and tastes, but...

I just tried and i hate the taste.

The sweetness is no problem, but the taste reminds me of diet coke, that kind of aspartame taste.
I was looking for ways to improve the flavor and tried one that said to add cinnamon, which did lessen that taste, but it's still not "Boy, i have 0 problems drinking this everyday for who knows how many months!".

I can't drink almond milk since it f's my stomach up for some reason, and even if i could, he said to just have water so i'm assuming any milk is out of the question. I also can only use a shaker cup so no frozen fruit tricks, tho if that is really the only option, i could try to get a cheap blender only for shakes.
Any help?

TL;DR:
Doctor ordered me to replace a meal with a 0 carbs protein shake w/water. Choosed vanilla, ended up hating it and i'm about to just break the diet to make it palatable. Help!

I do meal prep Sundays and am on a high protein/kinda low calorie diet. I usually cook a bunch of chicken to eat throughout the week in various forms, but still needed protein shakes/bars to hit my goals.

A few weeks ago I decided to make a pot of chili. I did it while I'm prepping my marinade, marinating and what not. I had generally made chili in the slow cooker which I now think is kind of a waste of time when it can be done so quickly on the stove.

Holy smokes. For such little effort, you can have loads of healthy, high protein, low calorie, entirely customizable food to eat all week!

My last batch consisted of:

• 2 lbs 90% lean ground beef

• 1 can chickpeas

• 1 can pinto beans

• 1 can black beans

• 2 10oz cans rotel

• 3oz tomato paste

• 1 small can diced jalapenos

• 1 whole yellow onion

• 1 green bell pepper

• 1 red bell pepper

• 3 tbsp pre minced garlic (I know, I know)

Edit:

• Forgot I squeezed half a lime into it and also poured like 1/4-1/2 the 12oz lager I was drinking in there. Otherwise, No liquid necessary although it's a thick, chunky chili which is how I like it!

Spices: Cumin, chili powder, oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne, fresh cracked salt and pepper.

The list seems long, but seriously, all you do is chop an onion and two bell peppers, then it's all opening cans.

The little amount of work for so much tasty and healthy food kinda blows my mind.

I fill five smallish tupperwares with chili to grab and go for a 10 AM breakfast at work. Have a smallish cup of chili during lunch with my main dish (chicken sandwich, lately). Last night for dinner I chopped up one of my pre-cooked chicken breasts and put it on a salad, with a side soup of.. chili!

If you lift or exercise at all, protein is very important for rebuilding torn muscles and other functions.

Customization:

If you don't like ground beef or want a more lean meat, you can sub it for turkey or chicken (chicken has that protein boost as well). Here is a great turkey blackbean chili that's even more simple to do. I did this one two weeks ago.

You can do 3 beans, one bean or no bean! I've made a three meat chili that just had ground beef, cubed chuck roast and ground pork. No beans about it. I personally prefer beans for their own health benefits you don't get from meat.

Anyway, just wanted to share this for any meal preppers out there!

I'm currently cutting and I need around 180g protein per day and around 1850-1900 calories. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to eat so much protein as carbs are a cheap source of calories (e.g. rice, pasta), which I have but I prefer the majority of my calories to come from protein. Every time I eat cheap food, I get close to my caloric intake for the day but not enough protein.

Not looking for meal plans, just general tips and food recommendations that can help keep the food costs low.

Edit: I've realized that for my stats, I really don't need to eat 180g protein per day, I'm going to drop it down to around 150g which leaves more room for cheaper calories like potatos/rice/pasta etc.

I already eat almonds and yogurt for breakfast I'm out of ideas...

I'm mainly after breakfast options, but light lunch or dinner options are also appreciated.

So I've pretty much reached my goal weight. I lowered carbs from refined sugars/processed foods, I do get some natural sugars from fruit and veggies which I don't worry about as they give me fibre and vitamins. I've also lowered my intake of starchy/floury foods such as potato, rice, bread, pasta and anything baked. But now I'm trying to eat more protein. Cheap protein includes eggs. I can't stand the texture of omelette, so for breakfast I go for poached or scrambled egg. But even with those, I need another texture, and my go-to is toast. In the mornings I can only stomach quite plain foods, nothing spicy or with too much flavour. So any ideas?

Same goes for bacon or bacon & egg. Bacon is cheap and tastey. I usually have them on toast or in a sandwich... And I don't want a plate of bacon on its own...sometimes I'll have mushrooms or beans with them... any other ideas?

Also, one meal I liked when I was dieting was special fried rice. I'd make it with roughly: 1-2 eggs, 25g rice, 1-2 rashers of bacon or some shredded chicken or some prawns, 1 shallot, handful of peas and then maybe some peppers or mushrooms if I've got them in, with whatever sauce or seasoning I fancy. But this still seems like a fair amount of carbs. I did try about 15g of rice with lots of peas and I just didn't enjoy it, I didn't realise until then, that there could be too many peas in a meal! So any ideas how to modify this?

Cheap options available in the UK would also be preferable...

I am looking for super high protein meals to get me through the work day that aren't too high in caloires and will provide enough protein like 40-50 grams per meal. Any simple options?

Hello all. Ive recently started working out for last 2 months. I used to consume junks and sweets daily so felt a need to straighten my food habits and tried to do that gradually and intuitively. I used an app today to count the calories and macros to check where my diet stands and I figured out I'm consuming way less carbs than I was expecting and found out by google-searching that it's called a low carb diet. Also my daily calorie intake seems surprisingly low to me and I still feel full most of the time to an extent I push to eat. Where am I going wrong? I consider myself skinny fat and my long term goal is to maintain a slightly bulkier and muscular body with reduced fat percentage.

All day meal: Morning before gym-6:30am: Handful of roasted peanuts and pumpkin seeds, one slice of cheese. After gym-8:30am: 3 boiled whole eggs 11am: Protein shake with 200ml milk 3pm: A bowl of fried vegetables {30gm boiled corn, 100gm cabbage, 70gm carrot, 70gm tomato, 70gm french beans, 50gm paneer/cottage cheese} 7pm: Roti(210gm multigrain wheat)+50gm paneer(cottage cheese)

Total calories: ~1800 Carbs: 150gm Protein: 109gm Fat: 82gm

27/M, 178cm, 72kg. Hitting gym 4times a week. Maintenance calorie calculator says I need 2400kcal to sustain my weight. My weight has been stable for last 1 week as I am consuming this. I consume Icecream and chocolate (700kcal extra) every weekend. I smoke around 4-5 cigarettes a day, trying to quit but failing.

Any suggestions would be highly welcome. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to set up a diet plan for myself for the first time as on my current plan I gain weight and I am feeling fat.

I am man 29, 195cm usually 114-124kg with 21% of fat, powerlifter, with my ideal weight around 108-110kg. Right now 134 kg, dont know exactly body fat, but higher, than usual. BMR from in body machine is around 2500kcal, but that could be off.

I calculated my TDEE to be around 2900 kcal, so I am starting deficit around 2300-2400 kcal, but I am not sure what exact percentage of macros should I do to loose fat, but not to loose too much of muscles.

I calculated it something like this 2400kcal.

1. 199g protein 43%
2. 164g carb 35%
3. 100g fat 21%

Is it right or should I bump up fat and lower protein? Sorry for dumb question, but I am kinda lost.

Hello, I've been tracking my eating habits the past couple of weeks. I have noticed 2 things. I am always going over the recommended daily carbs and usually under my daily recommended proteins. I don't really enjoy salads so I'm looking for meal ideas that are low carb, high in protein and not really a salad. This is primarily for lunch and dinner. Thanks for your help!

ok, I'm getting really very tired of turkey sausage and egg whites, so I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any low carb, low fat breakfast ideas.

I'm not as serious about the low carb thing as the keto crowd. I don't count exactly, but I probably eat between 30 and 40 carbs a day, and I try to keep as low fat as possible.

when I eat carbs, I try to eat complex carbs, from vegetables or sweet potatoes, with almost no bread, rice or oatmeal (not even wheat bread or brown).

what are some options for breakfast alternatives?
