[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for all of your suggestions.  I think I'm going to go with these ideas:

Breakfast: a poached egg on whole wheat, coffee, fruit

Snack: A few pieces of cheese and a low sodium V8, water

Lunch: PB and J on whole wheat or a hummus roll up on a tortilla (with cheese and lettuce), fruit, and a yogurt.

Dinner: I'm going to go with the roaster chicken idea.  That'll give me at least three meals (one night can make a chicken quesadilla using the tortillas), and fortunately I have some frozen cod in the freezer which I can pan fry for two other dinners.  I'll have rice and beans and/or veggies on the side each night.

Treat:  I'll make a brownie mix and freeze them individually.

To the posters who said I should comparison shop, it's an otherwise good suggestion, but I don't have the time, transportation, or impetus to do this.  I'm a teacher and every moment away from the classroom counts.   I know I can do this; it's not too difficult and I should be doing it ALL the time.  Sometimes it's just too easy to grab a $10 salad from Sweetgreen after work, you know?

And to the grass fed beef poster and fasting poster:  thanks for your valuable contributions.

Sincere thanks to all of you for your inspired suggestions.  I'm going to bookmark this thread and refer to it often.
