So, I’m single, and I don’t like to cook. What in the world should I eat? I’ve been eating tuna with light mayo, a scrambled egg, cottage cheese; things like that, but that gets old quickly. I thought about and bought some healthy choice meals, but those have sodium and carbs. I just don’t know what to do.

I’m in the same boat as you.. single, hate cooking.. not even really enough time cause of work.. I eat the same thing every single day.. definitely old.. and my weight loss has slowed so I am discouraged at this point

I’m not a good cook and I’m a single parent. I make a big batch of quinoa in a rice cooker in low sodium soup broth and add spices like garlic to it. It may be kinda bland, but you can always put tomato sauce or something and veggies in your individual bowl when you reheat some for a meal. I keep the cooked quinoa in a huge lidded bowl in the fridge and scoop out individual portions at meal time and doctor it up for whatever flavor my son or I want for the moment. You can cook the quinoa in just water. Use a little more than twice the amount of water as you use quinoa. Example: 1 cup quinoa use a little more than 2 cups of water. My doctor was super happy when I switched to eating quinoa a couple years ago. Quinoa is a nutritionally dense food that your body metabolizes differently than it does rice or pasta.

Here's a thread we put together on the Food-Post Op board.
