This is a simple, easy to make, and delicious meal template you can follow every day to make quality meals quickly.
Meat or fish
Rice (or other carb)
Preferred sauce or dressing for flavor
Throw some fruit and veggies on the side and you've got an incredibly balanced, healthy meal.
You can mix up your meat, carb, and sauce variations to keep things interesting.
Usually it's easy to make a few days' worth of protein, because protein sources generally come in packages of multiple servings (usually 4 or more servings per container...in my experience).
So you could rotate through different protein sources every few days. Here's a list of some of my favorites:
Ground beef
Steak
Ground turkey
Bison
Chicken thighs
Salmon
Cod
Halibut
Tuna
Pork
Ground pork
You can also rotate through different carb variations.
Here's a list:
White rice
Brown rice
Potatoes
Sourdough bread
Tortillas (burritos, soft shell tacos, or quesadillas)
Taco shells
As for sauces, choose whatever you like. This is where you can get VERY creative and totally change the flavor of a dish based on what sauce or dressing (if any) you use on a given day.
Replace dessert with fruit. Fruit is delicious and unlikely to rot your teeth and arteries out. Some intelligent people tell me this is a plus.
Quit over complicating healthy eating and healthy living.
Keep it simple and you will succeed.
