other stuff - quick dinner options?

[anotheranon]

On the nights I don't feel like cooking, I've taken to fixing up couscous-in-a-box - 5 minutes to cook, with spice pack. It's quick, tastes good, not too filling.

Problem is, I'm sick to death of it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for something quick and easy that ISN'T a Lean Cuisine tv dinner or similar? Low carb, please.

Unless you've been diagnosed with problems with cholesterol, it doesn't make a bit of difference. I eat lots of high-cholesterol things -- meat, cheese, eggs -- and have a chol. level of 172, which is perfectly normal. It's time to do some web-surfing to eddicate y'self on the truth behind cholesterol.

I know there's a difference between LDL and HDL, and I found this (http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3006030) (see question 6) at the American Heart Association site.

Looks like you're right - eggs aren't that bad, at least in moderation - a 2-egg omelette once a week or so certainly won't kill me :) However, the cooked-with-bacon-grease variety of my childhood are probably left well alone!

If you want to tip the scales in your favour, buy some lecithin granules and put them in your cereal, juice (they blend right into the pulp in orange juice), casseroles, any baking, etc. Lecithin helps your body break down and remove fatty deposits from the walls of blood vessels and, as a nifty side effect, stimulates production of a brain chemical that enhances memory :-)
