[quote=Anonymous]OP, you say you hare limited on time, but eating high protein and low carb takes time, as most all convenience involves junk carbs.  I'm a busy working mom of two small children, I work FT and exercise an hour a day 7 days a week. To say time is limited is an understatement.  Here are my staples, most all prepared on Sunday nights:

-Huge pot of brown lentils, seasoned with anduille sausage I then throw some brown rice in the rice cooker and have that all week. Kids love it too.
-Sundays I grill about 4 chicken breasts that have been marinating since Saturday, whole family eats off that. I often throw that over salad for my lunch.
-Large batch of tuna, traditionally prepared, but modest on the canola mayo. I often fill a pita pocket with that and avocado slices.
-Curried Chick Pease (i LOVE my Indian cookbook for all sorts of legume dishes!)
-I cook a large Turkey once a month and if we have leftovers I freeze the chopped up meat in single portions.

Basically I do everything in advance for the week, so my weeknights are pretty calm.  DH is responsible for full dinner planning and prep 2 weeknights.
