Simple

 Breakfast - Having hard boiled eggs on hand makes it really easy to not have to prepare anything in the mornings.
Steamed broccoli & cauliflower - I always feel so much better when I have vegetables for breakfast
Did not look like much food, but it actually kept me full until lunch because of the protein, fat, and fiber. 
Lunch- I know it is not too exciting and I was hesitant to even post these pictures, but I think it is good to see that eating healthy can really be simple and easy.  I had the pre-marinated salmon from Trader Joe's and it is so good. 
I am all about trying new recipes and mixing it up a lot to add variety and keep from getting bored with your food.  However, sometimes routine is also good. If you have your "go to's" that work for you it can save time and energy. 
I recommend writing out a list of some foods/meals that work for you for breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, so you have a plan that you know you like and are foods that nourish.

Quick, easy, and delicious breakfast

I feel like I'm always posting the same things I will try to mix it up a little bit, but I love this breakfast

two large handfuls of kale (de-stemmed) sauteed with little bit coconut oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic
1 runny egg with sea vegetable sprinkle on it
& Berries

So quick and easy.  I always feel better when I get greens and protein in for breakfast.

Runny Eggs & Kale

Recently this has been my favorite breakfast because it is so quick to make and it is just the right amount of food before working out.  I just put in about two handfuls of kale torn up, 1/2 tsp coconut oil, red pepper flakes, 1 glove crushed garlic, and cook for about 5-10 min.  I cook the egg so the yoke is still runny so I don't damage all the good nutrients.
I also like to sprinkle sea vegetable sprinkle on the egg, so it is a little salty.

The yolk contains more than 90% of the calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, thiamin, B6, folate, and B12, and 89% of the panthothenic acid (9 items). The white does not contain more than 90% of any nutrient, but contains over 80% of the magnesium, sodium, and niacin (3 items).
The yolk contains between 50% and 80% of the copper, manganese, and selenium, while the white contains between 50% and 80% of the potassium, riboflavin, and protein."
