I agree with @Discombobulated. It's always best to home cook meals. Even so-called "healthy" foods that are frozen, pre-made as snacks often contain high sodium and other empty calories (not much in the way of nutrition). Though for breakfast I often eat cottage cheese with diced peaches in cups along with wheat toast & some butter or jam on the toast (I'm not always perfect). My lunch is usually a turkey & cheese sandwich on wheat or 12 grain bread with fresh fruit (grapes, pear, peaches, plums, apple, orange, whatever is in season, melon right now too). Sometimes for lunch, I cook a yam in in the microwave then eat it with butter & brown sugar. For dinner, I haven't eaten anything not home cooked in probably 6 months since Valentine's Day. I often cook chicken fajitas with chicken breast sauteed in olive oil, fajita seasoning, then separately sliced onion, red bell pepper green bell pepper in olive oil, wheat tortillas. I make a few versions of a turkey southwest Mexican soup that vary slightly. Have H grill shrimp and make corn on the cob in the microwave add a salad to that. We always have fruit for dessert with dinner. I make wheat spaghetti tossed in olive olive with halved tomato grapes, spinach, and a bit of feta cheese. I make a dish with chicken breasts topped with 2 handfuls of spinach, chopped canned artichoke hearts, chopped red peppers in olive oil, topped with mozzarella and baked, it's very delicious. Snack a lot Greek yogurt, cheese, green olives (I lose a lot of salt thru sweat walking), fresh fruit (love apples with peanut butter), nuts (unsalted), veg with hummus (celery, grape tomatoes, baby carrots or carrot sticks, cucumber). I snack on spinach too because I love it!
