Here are some of my favorites/most common meals:
<b>Snack: Peanuts.</b>
I've always got a can of Peanuts, Honey roasted or Cashews etc. that I'm usually munching on between meals. According to my nutritionist Peanuts are one of the HEALTHY fats you can eat, so I gotten kind of addicted to them for that reason.
<b>Lunch/Snack: Saltine Crackers and Peanut Butter.</b>
Usually when I want a snack/mini meal when I get home from work I'll smother peanut butter on saltine crackers and have some juice, it's surprisingly good especially if you have apple/mixed juice with it. You can buy a huge package of Saltine crackers for like two bucks at walmart, and ofcourse Peanut Butter isn't that expensive.
<b>Fancy/Full/Delicious meal: (MY FAVORITE!) Grilled Swiss Cheese and Bacon sandwich with Tomato Soup.</b>
This is VERY simple to make, the ingredients are inexpensive, it's DELICIOUS, fancy, a full meal, and is LOADED with healthy calories.
All I do is get a big package of aged swiss cheese, some whole grain bread, bacon, and a can of tomato soup.
I usually slap some Mayo on the slices of bread, stick one piece of Swiss on each slice of bread and stick each piece of bread and swiss in the oven (Cheese up, ofcourse) so that it can grill and melt the cheese in while I'm making the bacon and tomato soup.
Then I cut the bacon in half to that it fits better on the bread, so I have three pieces of bacon which equals six half pieces (for two sandwiches), throw the bacon on the bread/cheese, close the sandwich so it's bacon melted into the swiss... Make the tomato soup with milk, or if that's TOO creamy do half milk half water, ofcourse whole milk will give more calories.
And that's it! I love dunking my grilled swiss cheese and bacon into the tomato soup, it's like heaven. SOOOO GOOD!
You have loads of calories from the bacon, from the swiss, from the Mayo, and from the milk you put in your soup. It's healthy (for the most part), and VERY VERY tasty if you like that kind of thing.
Honestly, I just started making these for myself and didn't even think about calories, I just LOVED the taste, then when my nutritionist asked me what I usually ate on average, I told her about this "bit of heaven" I had discovered and she was overjoyed as she pointed out all the caloric intake, I was like "oh!... right! that too....." lol.
<b>Not so healthy, but a full meal, tasty, and with leftovers: Hamburger Helper!</b>
Is it that obvious I'm a bachelor? It's easy to make (just a pound of ground beef and a package of hamburger helper), inexpensive for the most part because you'll probably have leftovers, and it's PACKED with calories. Plus it's guy proof, just brown the meat and follow the instructions on the package!
Well there are some of my most common meals, if I can think of more I'll add them later. Please share your favorite/most common meals! I'd love to try some new things!
