Easy Meal Ideas

Think Eating Clean is too hard or time consuming?

Can't think of any great meal ideas?

Need something new to try?

What I am sharing with you today are two very quick, very easy, and very tasty meals that I enjoy!

For those who are counting calories or wanting to know the breakdown of their meals, I've included that as well.

First, a lunch idea:



Ingredients:
Egg
Green pepper
Baby spinach
Bean sprouts
Tomato
Avocado

Simply cut the green pepper into rings.
Heat a non-stick skillet, you may wipe it with olive oil or even coconut oil if needed.
Once the skillet is hot, place the green pepper down and then crack an egg into it.
Allow the egg to set for a moment.
Add your spinach leaves and bean sprouts around the outside.
Cover to allow the egg to poach.

A few minutes later your egg is poached and your veggies are tender!
Transfer to a plate, add a few slices of tomato and avocado and you're done!
A complete meal with protein, healthy fats and carbs and only one pan to wipe clean!

Here's the breakdown:
1 Egg ~ 74 cal
80gr Green Pepper ~ 22cal
50gr Baby Spinach ~ 11cal
80gr Bean Sprouts ~ 74cal
60gr Roma Tomato ~ 13cal
40gr Avocado ~ 64cal
Total Calories: 257 Carbs: 30gr Protein: 12gr Fat 12gr
If you require more protein you can always add an extra egg.


Here is a simple, fast, loaded with energy, sweet treat perfect for the hot summer months ahead!



Ingredients:
Cottage Cheese
Strawberries
Pineapple
Walnut Pieces

Wash and cut your fruit, I don't even use a cutting board I just cut my fruit right over my bowl!
Measure out your portion of cottage cheese.
Add your fruit and measure out and complete this dish with your walnut pieces.

The breakdown:
1/2 cup Cottage Cheese ~ 100cal
86gr Strawberries ~ 26cal
56gr Pineapple ~ 27cal
25gr Walnut Pieces ~ 175cal
Total Calories: 328 Carbs: 25gr Protein: 18gr Fat: 18gr


This is just a glimpse of how easy Clean Eating can be....and delicious at that!

Yes, I use a digital scale, on occasion, to accurately measure out my ingredients. This is not essential, however, to truly achieve a caloric deficit for fat loss you must be aware of what is going in.

Over flowing measuring cups and eye balling your amounts will only ADD to your calories!

Try to measure your meals for a few days to get a better idea of how much you REALLY are consuming, you'll be thankful you did!

Online menu planners are also a beneficial tool to guide you along as you track your daily calories.

FitDay, SparkPeople and Nutrition for Results are just a few examples.

There is much more where this came from, I look forward to sharing more of my meal ideas with you!
