Five low-effort meals to build from these

Nothing here needs a recipe. Each one borrows from the list above.

  1. Greek yogurt, a handful of nuts, and a few berries.Five minutes, no cooking.
  2. Cottage cheese on toast with tomato, olive oil, and salt.Breakfast, lunch, or a late snack.
  3. Rotisserie chicken over microwave rice with a frozen vegetable.The default low-energy dinner.
  4. Turkey burger and a slice of cheese, with whatever side is already in the fridge.Skip the bun on a low-appetite day.
  5. Tuna packet, crackers, and a piece of fruit.The “I forgot to eat” lunch.
