Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:
Question: I’m looking to shed a few pounds. I already work out 5-6 days a week. I do anywhere from 40-90 minutes of cardio, and I work out with weights 3-4 times a week. I’m doing well with my diet now, but once college starts again I’m not going to have as much time to prepare anything in advance.
With little money, a full day of college, a full night of homework, a husband, and a strong desire to get healthier, what can I do to maintain this and get proper, complete (and meatless) nutrition while on-the-go?
Note: I do not eat eggs, or most things that have eggs in them. I do not drink milk, but I have no problem with dairy products. I just don’t like the taste of milk.
Haha, starving does work, but it’s horrible for your metabolism, and it’s not wise for someone who works out!

Stir frys and soups are both excellent!
You can make a huge batch of soup and then freeze a bunch of leftovers…and microwave it at any time another day for a quick meal :)!
Have you ever heard of flatbread? That’s great too to make your own healthy veggie pizzas. The flatbread is only 90 calories, and then I’ll usually make my own easy tomato sauce with stewed tomatoes & tomato paste. I’ll put that on along with either some broccoli/eggplant/zucchini…etc. I don’t even put cheese haha and it still tastes great. But you could always use some low fat/fat free cheese, of course.
