healthy but yummy food ideas?
i need ideas for some variety in my food cuz its getting kinda boring…for lunch i usually eat either a slice of turkey wrapped in lettuce with a little bit of honey dijon mustard or sushi but thats getting expensive. i eat oatmeal for breakfast and have nature valley vanilla yogurt bars or kashi honey nut bars as a snack plus tons of fruit (rasberries, strawberries, honeydew melon, plums and dried apricots) during the day…then dinner is usually chicken or fish and salad and sometimes frozen yogurt…any suggestions? i have access to a microwave and a refrigerator here at work..i was thinkin lean cuisines but i thought those werent good for u because they are processed…i also work out every day, cardio plus weights and 4 fitness classes a week so i need lots of energy and also to feel full faster and for longer…thanks 
p.s i drink tons of water, no soda and very little juice
You’re eating great so I wouldn’t stress. If you’re getting bored, just mix up what you’re eating, i.e. for breakfast eat different kinds of cereal, hot and cold. Smoothies are also great, I love making strawberry/banana/OJ smoothies for snacks. And for lunch, switch meats from turkey to ham or roast beef, and try different sandwiches on whole grain bread (do not fear whole grains, they are very good for you and carbs should NOT be avoided unless they’re processed).
For dinner, you can try whole grain pasta in organic pasta sauce, or different types of marinated chicken (BBQ, spiedie, lemon, etc.). And you can make healthy soups, stew, beef stroganoff, etc. Just browse recipes, make healthy substitutions such as whole grain pasta, olive/sesame seed oil, etc.
Also for breakfast, I sometimes make my own waffles with this whole grain buckwheat waffle mix…it tastes great and it’s loaded with healthy carbs and fiber, and some protein. And you can mix in fruits or top the waffles with them, and use olive/canola oil based margarine and low/zero sugar syrup, or some maple syrup once in a while won’t hurt. Makes pancakes, too…and you can get cheap waffle iron for around $15.
