Hi All,

I think I need more variety in my diet. Does anyone have any good recipes out there that don't require tons of ingredients? Or quick meals? Or something that you can make a bunch of and freeze into meals?

I don't want to spend tons of money on a bunch of different ingredients. The nutrition plan is already pretty expensive...

I am on phase 2 and am in the level 3 diet.

Thanks a ton!

I'm almost done with my first round of p90...and this has become my favorite dinners. College kid with no real cooking skills..so its not difficult but it tastes great and is perfect for p90x.

Kinda like a general tso's chicken recipe...tastes exactly like fattening and yummy chinese food places.

Ingredients:
Olive Oil
Lean chicken breasts
Your favorite veggies (frozen veggies work too i use brocolli most of the time)
Brown Rice
***LOW SODIUM GENERAL TSO SAUCE**

Heat about 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan...add in sliced chicken breasts and stir fry for a minute or two. Add your veggies to the pan...sautee for a minute or two again, then the sauce. I usually use 1-2 tbsp of sauce. Finally, put the stir fry on top of a bed of brown rice and enjoy!

I found 'minute brown rice' which all you gotta do is put in the microwave for a minute then its cooked. Be careful of what sauce you choose...some can be really sugary or really salty, so look at the facts on a few labels. I use some 'culinary circle teriyaki sauce' 5g sugar per tablespoon...but its brown sugar syrup not high fructose found in 'Iron Chef General Tso" sauce.

Great way to eat veggies if you have trouble fitting them in. My roommates are always envious when i cook this b/c it tastes so good.
I think the meal has a perfect ratio of fats/protein/carbs. If you want less fat use less oil...less protein use less chicken...less carbs use less rice. Just use as many veggies as possible!!

I make about 3 servings of this every sunday and have it for dinner three days a week.

Also if you like salmon, try adding McCormick's salmon rub to a filet... Rub some olive oil on the filet before the rub if you want some more fat. Then just cook it in a pan and add some rice/veggies. Great way to make salmon taste restaurant-like.
