My go-to fast meal is a corn tortilla with cheese and mushrooms
I could almost go vegetarian if mushrooms were a protein.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
An example of a casserole, 1.2 pound boneless skinned chicken breast, 3 cans low sodium black beans(rinsed) with mixed Southern greens from trader joes, one mild hot pepper, onions, celery tomatos, garlic, salt, pepper, 1 quarter cup lime juice, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, parsley, cilantro if you like, 2 table spoons mild salsa. Slow cooked until done. Very good. If you want it spicer use hotter pepper and hotter salsa. Add a couple of table spoons masa or corn flour during the last hour. Makes about eight servings. Very tasty, reasonable calories, more calories from protein than from carbs. And tons of fiber.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Mushrooms have lots of protein...
eta: Ok, a reasonable amount, at least.

They do?! That's awesome, because I love mushroom pizza and mushroom stroganoff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
On Atkins, I ate a fair amount of pepperoni and deli ham for "hand food," which is how I think about stuff that doesn't really have to be prepared (but can be!).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

They have less than meat, I think they're about 2-3% protein. They generally have more than plants. (Side note: fungi are evolutionarily closer to animals than to plants.)

OK, that's just weird.
I'm glad I like mushrooms, though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
For quick food when I'm doing low-carb, it's deli meat, cheese, already-cooked bacon (keeps well), eggs, and nuts.

I guess it's good that I'm not a vegetarian then?

We get high-protein pasta from Barilla sometimes. It's okay, pasta-wise; it wouldn't be as good as regular pasta with a delicate sauce, but with something hearty it makes no difference.
