spain Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I am not a cook. Not by a long shot. I need a few things that dont take anytime, that I can microwave or easy to make in the oven, that are high protein/low carb/low fat, and delicious! And I dont want it to take long. Any ideas?

Bier Meister Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 i rarely do nutritional breakdowns.... i will come up with some for you, it's just a different spin for me... off the top of my head: - stir-fries - salads with misc meats and fish - (when you have time) roasted chicken with veggies basically avoiding fatty foods and lowering grains, which is hard for me because i love noodles, rice, potatoes, etc. types of oils can make a difference as well: - look for ones with low saturated fat - canola, safflower, olive are pretty good - coconut, palm, and regular butter are not good try to cut down on cheeses as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckB Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) I like boiled chicken brest, Very easy but takes a few minutes. Just boil some water drop some boneless skinless chicken brest in and season the hell out of the water. Very tasty, very easy 3 out of 4 aint bad Edited January 19, 2006 by ChuckB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proninja Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Here's what I had for dinner: Trader Joe's frozen green beans Shrimp Sautee green beans in olive oil, add garlic. Add shrimp when beans are about done, eat. Takes 5 minutes, healthy, lots of protein, and very tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
