Can anyone suggest any easy to make, healthy food at home ?

Q. I am a university student, i eat my main meals outside. But i feel hungry sometimes at odd times, so i need some recipes and suggestions for making healthy, easy to make stuff at home.(not canned food) Some thing which takes less than 15 minutes to cook, and is healthy and tasty andwhich can be eaten on a daily basis. Something like sandwiches , baked potatos, any suggestions?

A. i know you said no tinned stuff, but tinned baked beans on a jacket, very quick, very healthy. grill a chop, boil some spuds and carrots. grill bacon and make a BLT, (bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich)
why has no one taught you to cook before you left home???!!!


What are good nutritious meals when trying to lose weight?
Q. I know what to eat when trying to lose weight but I get tired of eating the same thing and I'm not sure if it's healthy to eat the same thing all of the time. Are there any good healthy recipe sites or apps.
Or you guys could share some of your healthy recipes!
Thnks :D
