Lunch and Dinner Ideas 

Black bean burgers 
1 Can Black beans mashed with garlic, onion, one egg, 1/4 cup raw oats-  divide into 3-4 patties - grill in nonstick pan in small amount of olive oil :
Serve over lettuce and use “dressing” either lite balsamic or salsa enjoy with 1 slice of cheese or avocado (pick one fat!)

Power Protein Pancake 
1/2 cup raw quick cook oats, 1 Tbs sugar or honey or mashed banana, 4 Eggwhites, sprinkle of cinnamon, 1 TBS vanilla extract mix WELL 
      Spray nonstick pan with nonstick spray- pour in batter- cook 2 min on each side, serve with  
       1 TBS salted butter 

Glazed tofu - drain your tofu -marinade in favorite sauce, quickly fry in small amount of olive oil, serve over brown rice and stir fry veggies
 * My secret lazy person trick!  I order brown rice and the non deep fried spicy tofu from our local Chinese restaurant, and stir fry my own veggies and eat this for lunch for about 3 days! Do not add extra fat because the restaurant likely uses more than ideal amounts of oil for cooking the tofu NO big deal - just don’t add extra fat in on top of that
