I bet the microwave helps. Instant potatoes are quick and filling, and a can of corn nuked is very quick along with most vegetables too. Can you eat rice? Is that decent points? I have been getting these thai instant rice noodle soups that are really good and I bet they are better than regular noodles. I usually just figure out a few things that I can eat quick and easy that I like and save those for the times of distress. Can you have potatoes? My sister when she was on a diet would cut them into 1 inch bits and add salsa and a little low fat cheese to make a sort of nacho substitute and bake which was really good.
