Making meals is always a chore for me too when I'm fatigued. I've found that a roasted chicken (I buy them from Costco) will go a long way. Have your meal from the roasted chicken that night, I usually pair it with some steamed veg's, or a raw garden salad. I then pull enough meat off; add some celery, onion, light mayo and spices and my kids like the chicken salad on a salad or in a wrap, or just pull pieces of the chicken off and have it on a salad for lunch or dinner. I then throw the chicken carcass (break it up, and pull the meat off) and make a soup with it; I add lots of onion, garlic, parsley, spices, carrots, spinach, broc, cauliflower, celery, asparagus (whatever low starch veg's I can find) some chick. broth if you need more flavor,

I keep frozen brown rice on hand and quinoa and add that for more substance. So from one chicken I've made 3 meals, possibly more. The soup will last for several lunches and dinners too, and freezes well. It does involve a little chopping of veg's, but that can be done the day before. I've recently learned to make Chicken chili w/white beans, and stuffed peppers w/ground turkey; both are very nutritious and very simple, and taste even better the 2nd day, and freeze well. You can make great meals w/organic chick or turkey sausage, saute it up with some onions, and whip up some eggs and throw it in w/them, add some tomatoes, spinach, peppers, cheese if you can eat it, put a top on and let it sit for 5 min's or so, and you have a yummie fritatta. I also use the sausage

to make a very simple pasta sauce, I brown the sausage with some onions, garlic, add some fresh tom. or canned, spinach, broc., chick broth, let it simmer for a while and then I add some gluten free pasta, very tasty. I'm working on some quinoa recipes that are simple, if they turn out good, I'll share them.

Hey Marie J My husband also likes meat and potatoes only sigh very frustrating! He will eat roast chicken breast only if he has too. Or he will eat dishes with chicken breast as long as it isn’t too often.

He can’t touch seafood due to allergies. So meat! He loves corned beef which I put in a slow cooker in the am and wait for it.....potatoes and froz veg with white sauce. He loves beef stroganoff, steak, meat skewers, hamburgers, Mexican raps, sausages, mince in gravy, bolognaise, stewed meat, meat balls..... My memory is a problem...I go to the fridge and I have no idea what to make. He loves fresh veg but understands my limitations when sick or tired and is happy for veg and fairly healthy food. I have also used a list of possible dinner ideas on the fridge which are quick and easy and it has been a life saver. It is necessary as my memory is so bad I will stare at the fridge and have no idea, give up and sit down. My daughter needs carbs to hold weight and can’t eat white potatoe or most rice...we discovered accidently that basmati rice is the only one not glutenous which does not affect her stomach Yahoo, one more option to sweet potatoe. I have long since accepted that some nights are impossible and take out is an option, I pick my battles and don’t beat myself up anymore. I did completely gluten free and dairy free for 1year as my daughters stomach was so bad and that was exhausting and expensive with lyme and honestly did not make me well, though seemed to heal my daughters stomach a lot. Yes fatigue and budget greatly affect our meal plans too! So you made me smile! I only do fish in alfoil as no fat/ flour and cooks itself. My friend uses oven bags instead but I’m sure a lidded small oven dish will do, I just too tired to clean much.

Wow Marie, I’m very curious to hear what answers you get for this question! After years, of crushing fatigue at the moment, I now cycle through it rather than live it all the time! I read wonderful advice to precook meals when Okay and freeze, but for years I struggled always and with a husband and 3 kids left overs were eaten at dinner or for breakfast. With weak aching arms and hands I found chopping vege exhausting, couldn’t stand up for long and bought endless gadgets to help...some of which took longer to clean than use!! Finally found one in big w called a tefal fresh express. Makes making salads and soups much quicker and easier. However at my worst pre made bought salad which I could extend by adding lettuce for family of 5 and put fish in foil in the oven with 1 table spoon water and slice of lemon, it was all I had the energy for. If really bad I used precrumbed fish and baked, not fresh and premade, but better than nothing and too sick to care. The sicker I got the less I could do and I had to learn to compromise. I made soup or strog or sweet and sour etc with pre frozen veg (tons of pre frozen veg, though I prefer to steam not microwave) and a stripped precooked chicken or pre cut strips of meat and have finally resorted to packet mixes for instant flavour. Rice cooker is fantastic as you don’t have to watch, or I use gluten free pasta. Crock pots are also great. Chuck in a flavour base meat and defrosted frozen veg packet...yes fresh is best if you can stand up to prepare and shop reg, if not frozen is still at least vegetables. If big enough amounts you have lunch or breakfast low in refined carbs too. Just about getting through....have done take out etc when too sick for even this.

As a recent bachelor, I can give some advice here.

First off, if you want to do this and eat reasonably well you will have to spend

a bit of money, but health is the most important thing and you are what you eat

so they say. It is also much easier (possible) if there is a high quality

supermarket near you. There are lots of high quality premade frozen organic

foods, pizzas, fries (olive oil), burritos, ravioli, garden burgers. I always

keep hard boiled local eggs, in case I get home starving. they are also good

with pasta and make a salad a meal. I rock smooties for breakfast so I dont

overdo eggs (and all cereal is crap), adding hemp powder, ground flax, organic

frozen fruit and bananas, unsweetened almond and coconut milks. If you are

feeling spendy still, lox (wild) og cream cheese and sprouted grain bagels is a

great and quick lunch. bean tacos go incredably quickly and are healthy too.

alvocados pack a lot of good calories too. Hope you feel better soon, Cameron.

Hi Marie,

Do you have a Whole Foods store near you?

They have a prepared meal section, you can pick and

choose the items you wish...

Hi Fred,

You are not nuts, juicing is very healthy for Lymies, good leafy green veggies

are extra healthy!!
