#Breakfast4Lunch! To cook: sauté #butternutsquash in about 1 tbsp of olive oil for 4min or so. Cut it up really tiny so that it cooks faster. Add 1 small tomato and sauté for another minute. Crack in an extra large #egg and 1 slice of cheese. In the meantime heat up a 4" whole wheat pita. S&P to taste. This meal is packed with #fiber, #protein, #healthyfats, and #antioxidants from all the vibrant colors. And takes 10 mins to prepare! #mykindofmeal #lazynutritionist #lazynutrition #bushwicknutrition #bushwick #easymeals #fastmeal
Try this yummy #breakfast that took all of 9 minutes to prep, cook, and eat (just kidding). It’s also packed with #protein (a nutrient that is lacking in most American breakfasts) as well as #healthyfats.
1) Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a small/medium pan. 2) In the meantime cut half a #redonion. 3) Sauté it with the olive oil for ~3-4 minutes. 4) Crack 2 large eggs and scramble until desired consistency. 5) Clean and cut a handful of #cilantro. 6) Top off with 2 tbsp of #pepitas (#sunflower #seeds) and a tsp of fresh #jalapeño. Add salt and pepper to taste.
FYI: the best way to #store #cilantro is keeping it in a jar in the refrigerator with a bag over the leaves.

So proud of myself! I cooked #mahimahi (about 3 5-ounce fillets, ~the size of the palm of the hand) and it was delish!! I rarely cook #fish… Not because I don’t love it, but 1) it leaves an all too powerful odor in a small apartment, and 2) I realized I had a misconceived notion that it was difficult (or timely) to cook, when it’s neither!
How to cook in a pan:
1) Place burner on high heat and lightly spray with oil.
2) In the meantime- combine about 2 tbsp of melted butter, half the juice of a lemon, 1 tsp of low sodium #soysauce, and (very important) a bunch of #lemonzest.
3) Brush the sauce on both sides of the filet.
4) Cook for 3 min of each side.
5) Add a little more lemon zest and S&P to taste.
So good! And EASY. It took me about 15min total and I still have two fillets lefts for other #easymeals.

What’s the best thing about #hosting a #BBQ? The #leftovers, of course :) This delicious salad is made with #grilledchicken, #cambray onions, #yellowsquash, #zucchini, #redpeppers, a little #cheddar, and a dash of #pepitas over a bed of greens (arugula, spinach, chard). #lazynutrition #lazynutritionist #bushwick #bushwicknutrition #easymeals #health #nutrition
#Salad with a crap load of #veggie #protein from #hempseeds, #pumpkinseeds (#pepitas), and #hummus. One serving of each summed up to 19 grams of protein!
That said- this was a #lightlunch. I usually do this when I know I have a heavier dinner ahead of me. Important to #balance out your day :)

#QuickLunch. #Tuna with olives on open-faced #cucumber with a dash of #chiaseeds. Delicious, nutritious, and damn easy. Just make sure to check your teeth after; the chia gets stuck in between!! #easymeals #bushwick #bushwicknutrition #lazynutrition #lazynutritionist
#HardBoiledEggs are a great, complete #protein that is so easy to cook! As for the #cholesterolconfusion? The #cholesterol in egg yolks does not affect your blood cholesterol as much as crappy fats do (like saturated or trans fat). The #eggyolk contains almost all the vitamins, minerals, protein, and healthy fats. DO NOT throw them away, unless you are at risk for developing #diabetes.
To Cook: Place eggs in water as the water starts to heat. Once the water starts boiling, turn off the heat, but keep the pan on the hot burner, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. Add 1 tsp of vinegar to prevent cracking. Voila.

#BulkCooking. I usually cook a batch of food on Monday/Tuesday so that I can take advantage of it during the week. I make it vegetarian for food safety reasons. You can always add meats or cheeses after. Five ingredients: #whitekidneybeans, #grapetomatoes, #cilantro, #onion, #lime. Finely cut the onion, add the cilantro and lime, and lastly the tomatoes and beans. TIP: Make sure to drain AND rinse the beans. They will be much easier to digest, trust me.
Food ideas: 1) add some hard boiled eggs for more protein, 2) mix in some avocado and eat with half a sandwich, 3) dump into a salad, etc

Choose #GreekYogurt! Why? For one- it’s easier to digest because of its lower lactose content. It’s also about 2 to 3x higher in #protein than conventional yogurt. I like mine with a little fat, because it has better mouthfeel and because it keeps me #satiated longer. NEVER choose flavored yogurts- in the end it’s just more sugar. So.. add your own! My favorite is @fage! #bushwicknutriton #bushwick #yummybreakfast #easymeals #fage
