What is the "easiest, healthy, non-fattening" you can cook in 3 min?

[YS2003]

I love making some eggs in a basket. I use butter on it when I cook it though.

Do you eat them all in one sitting? Many nutritionists say 4 eggs a day could contribute to high cholesterol.

No, I only usually eat 1-2. And I don't eat them every day, just once in a while.

Boca Meatless Burgers. They taste almost like real burgers minus the fat and take less than 3 minutes to make.

It seems this one fits my bill. I will pick one up when I go to a grocery shop. They use soy as the main ingredient; so, it has protein to contribute to the recommended daily intake.

I don't like cooking with grill or oven because it takes too much of my time. I want to shove things in the microwave and time it for 3 min and get it done with it. I admit I am an anti-Christ for food culture. Can someone recommend the recipe based on this requirement? I don't like restaurants; so, I prefer pick things up at supermarkets quickly.
Edit: Let me add "tasty" in this formula.

3 minutes? microwave? tasty? healthy? nothing....

a few millenia ago, human beings spent most of their day looking for food--like most animals in the wild.

nowadays we spend only a couple of hours preparing and eating food. as annoying as it may seem, conflicting with all the other things we want to do with our lives, don't forget that food is one of the essential ingredients to life. i like good food fast like the next person, but i think you're being unreasonable to expect a good meal in 3 minutes without getting any pans dirty.

Just out of curiosity - how much do you people eat prepared food? Or white bread?

EDIT: You can cook porridge in 3 minutes. And do it all in a microwave.

1) Walk into Boost
2) Stand in queue
3) Hand over $5
4) Collect your carrot juice



Alternatively you can just juice your own, but it definitely takes more than 3 minutes.

Oh i love Boost! I miss it here in the US.

I haven't eaten that in years - my dad used to do that for me as a kid!




For me, a quick healthy bite is sliced tomato, onion (optional), white pepper or tabasco and low fat cheddar on bread/toast - grilled 'till cheese is molten!

I think people need to realize that there's a lot more to nutrition than avoiding fat. Any good diet needs fat, although most people get too much, as well as too much protein. People also tend to get too many empty carbs and way too much salt. It's far more important to have fresh and less processed food than it is to avoid fat in general.

I fully agree with that. Great advice.

would not be suprised on any of that. I know for a lot of people high protien is a good thing to go for. It is very imporant for people who are hypo to make sure they take in a good amount of protein with every meal to keep their blood suger levels stable. (it does not cause insulan production so the blood suger levels do not drop)

Really, best advice so far. If you aren't eating processed foods, and you're not 85 years of age, you really aren't going to be using too much fat when you cook yourself (unless you're deep frying everything). In others words, if you don't eat processed food (or eating out) for every meal, you can just stop worrying about food being too fatty.
Same with eggs, unless you're 85 years of age, you're not going to get high cholesterol eating a few eggs every week. It's all about moderation (yes I know, it's said a lot, but it warrants emphasis still...)

Fine, these dont even need preparing, and stay with you all day.

i am obviously joking.

I sometimes wish I can buy the space food astronauts might eat on their space mission. I think I can get all the nutrition I need and I can eat it very quickly without using eating utensils.

Pita Pizza!

Take wheat pita bread with marinara sauce and heat in the microwave for a minute and a half. I don't eat cheese but you can put cheese on it as well and it tastes like a pizza. It's great and low cal.
