  lots of chicken, fish, veggies, fruit, quinoa and rice. I am doing the advocare 24 say challenge so we have been eating a lot healthier since I started.
  
  - burrito bowl (chicken, brown rice, black beans, avocado, cilantro, diced tomatoes)
  - mahi mahi with a mango salsa, asparagus, salad with light dressing
  - chicken breast with squash, zuchinni, and roasted potato
  - teriyaki chicken, bell pepper, brocolli, quinoa

  In terms of chicken, you should be aiming to eat dark meat more often as the hormones do not accumulate there as they do in the breast. If you are buying fancy pants organic chicken then disregard this tip. 

  
  

  One of my lazy go to meals is to throw chicken thighs and a bunch of cut up veggies (ie zucchini, peppers, whatever else I have on hand) into a skillet and bake that in the oven with a bit of EVOO. Then make a grain of your choice and you have a pretty decent clean meal with not much effort.

  One of my favorite meals is baked salmon with couscous. Place a good amount of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Mix couscous, veggies and chicken stock and place into foil. Place salmon and lemon slices on top of couscous. I make individual packets for each piece of meat so it bakes faster. Wrap the meal into water tight packets with the aluminum foil. Baking time is 25-30 minutes at 325 (the recipe is written for 20 mins but it takes longer in my oven). Quick, healthy, tasty, simple meal with no clean up!

  i make my own granola (tons of recopies out there, and easy to eyeball), and bring a batch of it to work, leave almond milk in the fridge.. that's my breakfast everyday.
  
  on the weekends, i roast 3-4 pieces of chicken (either breast or thigh, which ever was cheaper that week) and shred it up. i use that as "sandwich meat", leave a package of cheese (in my case, soy-free, vegan cheese!), lettuce, and a loaf of bread at work. this is my daily lunch.
  
  at night it's just plain fish (salmon or tilapia usually), whatever veggies were on sale, and rice or potatoes.
  
  snacks i eat lots of fruit, or shakes that are 80 fruit, 20 veggie (kale, spinach, celery, carrots, beets). and i always add chia seeds to my smoothies, too. if they get too vegetable-y, then i add a couple spoonfuls of (raw) honey.

  Watch the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead on Netflix. This will give you the motivation you need. Then Google the Whole30 challenge and read up on their rules and stick as closely to it as possible. They have meal plans, shopping lists, etc and it's FREE. Then hit up Google or Pinterest for recipes and meal plan/prep for your week every Sunday and you'll definitely be successful! It really isn't that hard once you put your mind and heart in it.

  On another meal prep note: When you come home from grocery shopping, wash all of your fruits and veggies that night. Things usually stay fresher longer once they are taken out of their little plastic bags and washed. Lettuce/collard greens should be wrapped in tea towels and kept in either a ziploc bag or a tupper. Same goes for green onions, green beans, okra.  By having everything ready to go, there are no excuses when you are feeling lazy.
