Answer
You can try the following healthy, and quick recipes:
1. cucumber-tomato sandwich:
Ingredients:
Half a cucumber;
1 small tomato;
whole grain bread, or whole wheat bread;
some butter;
creme cheese and some sauce if you want.
Salt and pepper.
Method:
Butter two slices of bread( you can toast them first if you like).
Wash and peel cucumber. Slice the cucumber and tomato thinly.
Spread butter on each bread slice. after that if you want, spread a thin layer of cheese.
Then arrange the cucumber slices on top of the cream cheese on on one bread slice.
Sprinkle cucumbers slices with ground pepper.
Then arrange the tomatoes over the cucumbers and ground pepper.
Lightly salt the tomato slices. Now you can put some sauce if you want( it tastes good without it too)
Cover the cucumber and tomatoes with the remaining buttered slice.
Eat. You can also wrap it in a plastic wrapper and chill it in the refrigerator to eat it later.
You can make similar sandwiches using different things like lettuce leaves, avocados,olives.
2. Fried eggs on toast:
Ingredients:
2 slices of bread;
2 eggs;
butter, oil;
salt and pepper.
Method:
Toast the bread slices.
Spread butter on each slice.
Heat a little bit of oil in a frying/saute pan.
Crack eggs in pan and cook to desired firmness.
Place each egg on the toasted and buttered slice of bread.
Sprinkle some salt and pepper.
3. Black bean and tomato quinoa:
Quinoa is a fast-cooking, protein-packed whole grain. If you can't get quinoa where you live substitute rice. It is very nutritious and perfect with beans.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup quinoa
1 (14- to 15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 medium tomatoes, diced
small onion chopped (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Method:
Whisk together lime juice, butter, oil, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Wash quinoa in cold water in a bowl, draining in a sieve each time.
Cook quinoa in 1 cup of boiling salted water uncovered, until almost tender, about 10 minutes.
Add quinoa to dressing and toss until dressing is absorbed, then stir in remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy!
Eat bananas, or a handful of nut like almonds, cashewnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds etc. for snack.
You can also soak moong beans overnight, drain the water in the morning, let it sprout for 8-9 hours, and keep it in the fridge, to eat anytime when in a hurry. Just add some chopped tomatoes to it and salt and lime juice. it is a very healthy light lunch or snack.
Hope this helps.

Answer
Always remember we need at least one meat, one vegetable, one starch which includes potatoes/rice/corn/beans.
Lunches:
Have you tried the Campbell's New England Chowder? Very good for lunch. A meal in itself.
Soups and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Jimmy Dean pre-cooked sausage patties are VERY good and make excellent sandwiches for lunch.
Tuna; salmon; kippers; sardines; chili; egg sandwiches of all types; peanut butter; cottage cheese with fruit; hot cereals; sloppy joes; hamburgers; Hillshire Farm's DELI SELECT containers of shaved meats of all kinds for sandwiches (you can reuse the containers).
All can be server with sliced tomatoes/onions/lettuce/etc. which gives you a vegetable along with your meat.
Suppers:
Most deli's are now roasting chickens. They are delicious. We have to stand in line at the grocery store to get one. They usually sell them beginning at 10:00 am. Try to buy two and freeze one.
Tyson's fully cooked whole chickens are delicious. I serve them often with S&W canned sweet potatoes, Stove-Top dressing, microwave chicken/turkey gravy, a vegetable, cranberry sauce, and Pillsbury Microwave Biscuits which are better than I can make. A frozen pie defrosted and fully cooked. Keeps the kitchen cool.
Hormel, Armour, Tyson, Smithfield, and other brands have packages of PRE-COOKED beef tips, roast, pot roast, pork roast, chicken, ham, meatload. Most all come with gravy. They are very good. Use these for your meat dish and add vegetables, rice, or potatoes. You will find these packages near the cold meat section, they are not frozen. If you are only cooking for yourself, you can make two or more meals out of one package and freeze them for future dinners or lunches.
