I box 5 times a week, do weights 3 times a week and run 3 times a week.
I dont eat meat tho I am a vegetarian
for breakfast: low fat milk and cereal and a bannana)
for lunch: a salad
dinner: pasta or rice
I need more things to cook because I never have enough time to cook because my busy workout scheduele, electrical engineering at college, and work.
I was wondering if anyone knew anything else that was quick to cook and good for you, maybe high protein. I am about to get IsoPure(Protein supplement) as a meal replacement
so yea any ideas??
I also eat microwavable veggies for a snack or nuts/almonds or a hard boiled egg or something.
===============Guacamole================
1 Avocado
1 tomato (I use a red bell pepper instead though)
1/2 onion
salt and pepper to taste
Lemon juice.
Cut the tomato/bell pepper and onion into squares. Take an avocado, cut in half, remove seed. Mash avocado till texture is like mash potatoes. I prefer clumps but whatever floats your boat. Mix in peppers/tomatoes and onions. Salt and pepper to taste. And you got awesome dip!
========== Hummus ===================
This one takes a little bit of practice. But once you got it, it’s so simple.
A can of chickpeas
1/4 cup of vege broth
Seasoning. I prefer garlic or dill.
(Optional) 3 tablespoon of Tahini Oil
Blend all ingredients in blender until the consistency is what you like. If you like it thicker, add more chickpeas.
=========== Strawberry/Berry Shake ==============
Some berries
Some vanilla yogurt or silken tofu
Ice
Blend. If it is too thick, add some skim milk.
You don’t have to cook to have a great meal.

Here’s a recipe that has 24 grams of protein.
Scrambled Tofu
1 box of Mori Nu silken firm tofu, patted dry and mashed
1/8 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup of your favourite vegetables such as broccoli, fresh mushrooms, onions, or tomatoes
Place the tofu in a lightly oiled sauté pan and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, stir well, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked and the tofu is heated through.
It doesn’t sound like your getting enough veggie protein in the diet you discribe. I’d keep track of your protein intake for a few days. Add some chick peas to your salad, along with a little cheese or hard boiled egg. Add some beans or tofu to your pasta and rice. If you don’t have much time to prepare meals get some fake meats: veggie burgers, veggie dogs, etc.
