Banana is hard to beat for convenience. I'd say a close second for me is either mixed nuts or sumo oranges

Hahahaha didn’t even think about that!

Maybe I should’ve said a spoonful of peanut butter as well ;)

String cheese

With its phallic shape string cheese is a deeply anti-feminist snack.

You should have a mango or orange instead.

I make a big batch of tasty high-fiber granola and keep it in the freezer. Almost every day I have some with Greek yogurt and berries.

Smart, yogurt and berries are massive in terms of health.

What's anti-feminist about phallic shape? At that point wouldn't peach be the most feminist?

A peach is up there but something like a corndog or a sardine is just wrong.

Sardine is way healthier than a corndog, why put both of them together?

Bananas are good. I like yogurt as well when I have it. Lately in the convenience but not healthy is a single Hawaiian roll because they help with my stomach acid problem.

Chia seed “pudding”, but with water to make them expand. I’ll eat plain if particularly pressed for time. Usually I add granola or some maple syrup for flavor.

Walnuts. Can't gorge myself on them, even with them being very healthy they are highly caloric. It helps a small amount is pretty filling though.

Also nuts but I prefer raw or at least unsalted. Cashews, almonds, pecans, walnuts

Canned sardines are my quick go-to brunch if I’m too lazy to prepare anything. I’ll usually have leftover rice in the fridge. Then I can quickly cook an egg too.

One roll is probably healthy. A bag of rolls is probably not. :)

Health is relative, but it works for me: some black olives, sweet gherkins, pickled beet slices, a good cheese, and a few nice crackers. Nice variety. Not too bad on carbs or sodium if you're not too greedy.

Oats. We do a two-day oat diet a few times a year, with three meals a day consisting of 80g of oats and half a liter of tea or broth.

Beans, rice, veggies. Put in frying pan, fill with water, turn to low simmer, walk away for 40-60 min. Until the water is gone, basically. I use ~140g dry beans, rice gets eyeballed depending on how hungry I am at the moment. Up to a quarter cup? Beans stay consistent due to soaking. Veggies are whatever I have on hand. I like to mix in leafy stuff after it's done though. That's about two meals, which will keep for a day, maybe two unrefrigerated. Flavor profile is muted and heavily seasoning dependent, so you can still have "variety" without having to plan ahead.

Cold milk with oats, vanilla, and monk fruit sweetener

Frozen strawberries (reheated in the microwave), Greek yoghurt, and banana

Wholemeal spaghetti with broccoli and feta cheese

Hummus and carrot. I don't bother julienning or peeling and just raw dog it

French toast with garlic powder and cheddar used to be my favourite but I'm having trouble finding bread I can safely eat anymore

Do you put a lid on it or just walk away?

That sounds like a perfect lazy meal for me, thanks for the tips.

Nuts are awesome, but it's so easy to go from healthy serving to "whoops I'll just hit the gym harder tomorrow".

Is it still anti-feminist if I string it myself without the help of a man?

What if I have a harem of men peel an orange for me?

Hmmm...I have things to think about....

Ka prao, green curry, tuna salad with bits of apple and pickle, skin on chicken in a dutch oven with a pan sauce. All of these take 10 minutes to an hour in the case of the dutch oven. I cook rice in a rice cooker consistantly so I always have some rice in the fridge I can add to whatever asian dish I'm currently in the mood to make. Those are pretty fast. Also, I'd highly recommend making large amounts of food and freezing the left overs in deli cups.

No lid, you want the water to boil off. Otherwise you have sad soup. Personally, I actually fry it a bit after the water boils off, get a little bit of crispy on the edges

They’re not quite as addictive as crisps, but they pack a caloric punch
