@RedKnight Sometimes it is a typical meal with meat, a starch, and a veggie. Roast pork with rice and roasted asparagus. Today I sent him with turkey breast, stuffing made with mushrooms and onions, and French cut green beans. Fried rice with veggies and sometimes meat in it. Other times it’s just a salad, sometimes the salad has meat in it, sometimes not. We try to limit how much meat we consume. I also make a black bean soup that goes well with salad for protein without animal fat like pork. Usually I also pack fruit that he eats as a snack.
I do a lot of semi home-made stuff. Like I used boxed stuffing, but then I sautéed mushrooms and onions and put it altogether. I make the stuffing with a third of the butter that is recommended. The turkey was Boars Head from the deli, but I had them cut one slice an inch thick and then I cubed it for his lunch. No butter on the vegetables, no gravy. Veggies I use both frozen and fresh, it depends on the vegetable. Pork roast I make from scratch, but I often use frozen sticky rice as a side dish, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on it and make veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, and bok choy in a pan with soy sauce and lime (no oils). Pasta with shrimp (that comes cooked and frozen) peas a little olive oil and a little lemon. Like I said, they are like dinners. They aren’t super healthy, but similar dishes in a restaurant would easily have double if not triple the fat and calories.
