Hi,
I'm searching for a recipe for something that:
#1 - Tastes relatively good (excellent is a +1)
#2 - Is very healthy - I'm attempting to lose weight, without losing muscle - have a pretty tough bicycle and weight lifting schedule going on, so can't skimp on nutrients - but at the same time don't want a bunch of empty calories! Fast food isn't cutting it, for obvious reasons.
#3 - Is easily sub-divided, and stored for later eating (I work 10pm-9am, so I need to package up whatever I cook for dinner so I can eat it throughout the night since there are no healthy places to eat open that late.) I do have a vacuum sealer, so I have the means to seal food up. There is a microwave at my office.
I'm thinking something with baked (skinless) chicken breast would work well, but I'm not sure about recipes. I've done the only-chicken thing before, and it works for a few days, but it gets old quickly. I think I need to cook something along with it.
Multiple recipes would be awesome! That way I could have some variety. Ideally, I'd prepare 1-2 days worth of food each time I cooked, seal what I didn't eat immediately into portions, so it would be easy to reheat.
If you have alternative suggestions that fall outside of my baked chicken breast idea, I'm totally open to them, as long as they fulfill the 3 conditions. In fact, I'd very much welcome them!
Thank you kindly for your input, looking forward to some delicious recipes!
Cheers,
David
