Even though eating healthy may require you to have a lot of ingredients on hand in the kitchen, there are several quick and simple healthy meal ideas available for those of us who are trying to lose weight. Given that we don’t have the time to cook a delightful dinner each and every day, in this article I will provide several ideas which will help you create a low fat meal in a snap.
An all time favorite recipe for a meal substitute that is healthy and quick is a wheat germ shake made with fat free milk and some fresh fruit.
healthy meal ideas
Healthy quick and nutritious meals don’t have to take long to create. For example, a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat or multi grain bread is perfect. Toss in an apple and a glass of fat free milk and you’re golden.
How about some egg whites with sauteed chives and peppers and a couple slices of multi grain toast, put them together for a sandwich.
A bag of frozen veggies topped with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan and some chopped nuts.
Salads are easy to make and are very healthy. All you need is a pre-bagged salad and canned tuna, tomatoes, and your favorite low fat dressing. Have some pre cooked chicken on hand for just such an occasion.
Make a quick and delicious sandwich. Make sure to have some whole wheat or multi grain bread on hand, your favorite low fat deli meat, and some fat free cheese, mustard is a great low calorie addition.
Remember that cereal with low fat milk and fruit is a great meal no matter what time of the day it may be !
There are also many different ready to eat meal replacement alternatives on the market you can buy and have on standby. For example, you can keep a meal replacement bar in your purse or gym bag, that’s a great healthy meal when you’re on the go and running out of time.
If you’re like me and you don’t always have time to cook, you’ll really enjoy these healthy meal ideas .
Hi Gee,
It is so easy to opt for a quick unhealthy meal thinking that something healthy will take time and effort, had not thought of the frozen veggie option, sounds delicious.

Hi Jan

Hi Gee
Thank you so much for the quick healthy meals ideas for when I am busy.
These days it seems everyday is a busy day and trying to cram as much into life as we possibly can. At my office I now have cereal and low fat milk on stand by for the days when I do get busy. It sure keeps those high sugar biscuits at bay then and I feel like a snack or a meal plus it is quick.
Thanks again for the reminders to keep looking after our bodies with your great advice.
