Sorry for the wall, just hoping I can help make your food a bit less boring.
Chicken doesn't have to be suffer or settle! Just tinker around in the kitchen man.
A good meat tenderizer is a game changer for one. The multi-blade ones are vastly better than the mallet style IMO. They actually make your chicken soft & tender, it's sort of fulfills that gap between homemade chicken vs Restaurant style where you ask yourself 'Why does my chicken never come out this way?'
That tenderizer is also pretty good at making lean cuts of beef actually edible lol. Like london broil, which is awesome because it's significantly cheaper than sirloin/ ny strip/ etc. So beef can be a good change of pace as well. I tenderize it and marinade it all the same as my chicken.
Also the 30 minute marinade dry rub packs with fat free italian dressing(In place of oil), a little water, and maybe some lime extract depending on the marinade makes a world of difference for really not many added calories. I think it adds 250 calories across 4 LBS of meat. IMO calories well spent when it drastically alters your meal and makes it something you look forward to.
I also make my rice with chilli & garlic powder, and it almost makes it taste like spanish rice. Again for very little extra calories.
You can also mash sweet potatos(Or regular potatoes for that matter) and kind of incorporate your diced up meat into it for a change of pace. My taste is weird but I love to do that, and dice up a cucumber to throw in as well, and eat with a random sauce. It's interesting for sure and I could see how someone else might not like it, but I'm really enjoying it.
Use any low calorie sauces or syrups you can find. I try to aim for no more than 20 calories a TBSP, lower is preferable. A lot of asian sauces off the shelf meet this criteria, and walden farms has a whole line of 0 calorie sauces.
Also I just saw Greg Doucette's video on how to turn a protein shake into ice cream basically. Really not all that expensive or calorie dense and makes your protein shake waaaay better. And it is a lot cheaper than the healthy ice cream alternatives like halo top. You can get 10oz of guar gum powder on amazon for $6(Practically a life time supply except it supposedly expires after 2 years.)
One thing Greg Doucette also got me on was popcorn. Buy the healthies version you can find, don't go for the heavy buttered kind. I like this brand personally.
Popcorn, on paper anyway, is better than a lot of carb choices. It has more protein & fiber than rice & I'm pretty sure potatoes also IIRC. And theres so much volume you just get to eat for longer. If you are anything like me and love to eat, that's a good thing!
And I personally haven't tried this yet, because from my research it looks like it costs basically the same as buying a pre-made protein bar off the shelf but supposedly these taste a lot better. Maybe If you are crafty you can find alternative products to get the cost down. There are different fiber syrups on amazon that are cheaper than fiberyum & there are agave syrups with similar nutritional values. But in the video he says a fiber syrup is a MUST, so IDK If agave will work. I'd maybe try to make a small batch first before wasting a pound of protein to find out agave won't work.

It's this popcorn! It's about 360 calories for 1 bag (10 cups popped?) according to the nutritional label. It's amazing. It's super sweet and my coworkers got me HOOKED on it. The white cheddar flavor is good too.
Tell that to these guys.
I make popcorn on my own at home using a hot air popper, add potassium salt (similar taste to regular salt but without the sodium, and potassium is good for you), and some kernel seasons for flavoring. Unless you go crazy with the flavorings, this setup is healthy without the ridiculous calories. Pro-tip: if you want a "wet" butter flavor without the calories, you can use a spritzer like this or a butter flavorign spray, just be warned, the sprays are usually 6 calories per second of spray time so be conservative.
I use this
These are shelf stable af: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Natural-Delights-Medjool-Dates-12-oz/113320764
Bought some last week and the "best by" date is September 2020.
They taste like pure sugar and if you're not eating enough fiber every day, a couple of these each day for 2-3 days will definitely let you know.
Pair these with a nut butter (also shelf stable) and they make a great shelf stable, healthy punch of sugar and calories!
Plain popcorn + noosh?
Apart from that, Trader Joe's might have a couple of relatively healthier options in their chips/popcorn section. Think chickpea snacks, or the roasted edamame stuff I've seen on Amazon.
When I got sober, I started a new routine of tea and popcorn every night when I settled into bed, which I still do to this day (night). Nowadays (nights), my popcorn of choice is Lime and Salt. Sounds weird, but it is sooooo yummy.
Not quite, a 50 lb bag costs almost $30 on amazon, I believe it is less if you buy it in a warehouse store.
That is probably 5lbs at most.
"hot stuff" is kind of becoming trendy again. However a lot of it is really supply and demand.
Remember amazon has a lot of stuff listed as "prime" but the cost of shipping or having it fulfilled by amazon is significant cost and you may be able to get it for cheaper on a local non-novelty store.
The best example I can give recently is"spontaneous combustion" popcorn. It's like $6.74 shipped for a bag on amazon. I stumbled into it randomly at my local runnings store for $1.99, it's kind of crazy because I had it in my amazon cart.
What I want to try but is rare and may be "stale" from being so old are these:
https://www.amazon.com/II-Popcorn-Palomitas-Inferno-Picante/dp/B073MFLCTN/
and
https://www.amazon.com/II-Popcorn-Palomitas-Jalape%C3%B1o-Flavored/dp/B071V93BF7/
These are the favorites. I'd choose 2-3. Avoid things like macnuts or chocolate macnut etc. Most of that is all tourist made stuff. Don't get me wrong everyone like's macnut, but they want it from aunties yard.

POPCORN IS THE BEST FOOD IN THE WHOLE WORLD
Popcorn combines the best of every snack food there is: it's hot, buttery, salty, filling, but not too filling, and you can put chocolate/truffle oil/cheese & onion crisps/toffee/cheese in with it so it becomes whatever you're craving!
Mixed Reviews
My go to snack currently is this 100 calorie kettlecorn. Of the 4 different 100 calorie popcorn I've tried from amazon this is the best tasting one. Maybe not the healthiest of options but if you go by just CICO these are a great snack for 100 calories a bag(5 cups).
Well I have 2 items I'll let you choose depending on if I want and what you want to do.. hope that is okay :D
Bacon Popcorn
Or
Bacon bits
I'm not a fan of sushi :C
Thanks for the contest :D
We have it.
It sucks.
Flash for snacks!!! I’ve tried the rosemary flavor which is SO good so now I’m been wanting to try this basic but possibly delish flavor
Happy Birthday!
If you're a film buff you could get to work on AFI's top 100 movies of all time!
To complete the experience you need some of this of course!
Is Poppycock an approved ration during the Zombie Apocalypse? Because personally, I'm pro-Cracker Jack.
It really is. So tasty.
Cinnamon is awesome! Here's the popcorn right here best smell ever : http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00J8ZUF9O/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1405033723&sr=8-1
It depends on certain popcorn brands. For example: Kirkland Popcorn
If you need something in your stomach to go to sleep, try something simple like plain popcorn. Heck, This stuff here makes me very happy @ only about 160 calories per bag, if I'm not mistaken.
