Im always on the go, can anyone give me some tasty quick recipe ideas for a quick nutritious meal?

Stuck for ideas now, I get bored quickly of eating the same food/dressings etc.Just looking for fresh ideas!?

This really depends upon what foods you like but I always keep cooked burgers (extra low-fat beef), fish and chicken in the freezer.

Separately, I keep some sauces. The one that I like the most is just a bunch of vegetables cooked slowly in a bit of olive oil and then I chuck tomato sauce into the huge "wok" frying pan at the end to make it like a chunky vegetable sauce.

Some people might think this sounds pretty suspect but I love it and it's about as healthy as it gets. So I cook broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, peppers, garlic and onion (you have to add them at different times as they cook at different rates) and then pour on a nice tomato pasta sauce. Then I put it in little one-serving tupperware pots and mix it with my choice of meat to take to work or on the road and by lunch time it's mostly thawed and I can microwave it.

Also you can add pasta, rice and other starch sources in an amount that is consistent with your goals.

I was in the same position Holly but I did my research an now I have a host of recipes. This is my favorite at the moment.

Stir fry red and yellow peppers, onion, garlic, egg plant, courgette, black pepper, basil. When its done add a handful of spinach, break up some pre-cooked cod and douse in balsalmic vinegar or cider vinegar to taste. I'm not big into carbs, but you could add some yam.

Hi Holly
For a really quick meal I like eggs. You can cook them in lots of ways, but you can't beat an omlette, plain or with all kinds added I think they are delicious. If you are dieting hard core make a three egg omlette but with only one of the yolks. They are so versatile, you can add, peppers, courgettes aubergine, salmon, smoked salmon etc etc etc. I honestly can't think of anything to cook from scratch that's quicker.
