Food too much to make, I’m very dedicated to eating healthy 5-6 meals a day but it’s too much work to prepare?

I cook eat whites, oatmeal, salad, chicken, fish , I have to eat 6 meals a day but it’s difficult because it takes a long time to prepare I’ve resorted to eating tuna straight outta the can.
And I have protein shakes, are there any tips for meals that need little or no preparation that are healthy for you , Thanks!

    Seems like your doing good as far as eating right.
    I would recommend protein bars as well, they’re quick, good, and easy.
    Sometimes what I do for tuna, I make a big tuna salad with tomatoes, onions, olive oil, and lemon and just take a little each time I need to eat it. It lasts about 2 days, if you make a big batch and put it in the fridge.
    It seems like you just need to make big amounts of foods so it can last you for a few days instead of having to cook each day.

    You can also buy a whole chicken, ready and hot to eat from any grocery store. Or if you have a Whole Foods grocery store near you, they have a really good food bar thats fresh, healthy, organic, and non-processed.
    I get their tuna, chicken fajitas, as well as salad.

    Hope that helps and good luck!

    Eating healthily is getting easier. You can get a lot of pre-prepared food on the market but you should buy organic then you can be sure of no additives.

    I buy larger packages of chicken breasts and when I want them for the week, I will season them and grill them, then store them in a container in the fridge for lunches or dinner. When I bring home carrots, peppers and celery, I wash and peel and jullienne them and keep them in a container for a snack. A big time saver is buying the premixed and washed salads. In no time you can have a grilled chicken salad. You can also make a large batch of pasta or rice and package those in smaller dishes and reheat during the week. Keep diced onions and peppers on hand and make a quick egg scramble with your egg whites and top with a tablespoon of salsa to add some variety.
