eating healthy, but dont have time to cook.?

Question

No where on the net will give you the exact specs of what is healthy only basics/vague answers.
I just want to know what is healthy and needed daily for my body, i will then turn it into some type of stew, and fix a small batch thru out the day everyday and will be happy (until saturday night, when i cut loose on the grill). 

I dont have time to cook perfect little dishes everynight, and cant afford different dishes everynight either.  

Just a chicken with rice & vegtable slow cook stew with everything in it is all I need I assume. I can take a supplement also if needed.  I dont have time to cook and eat heathly and am always on the run. but I do have the ability to to heat up a bowl of stew at breakfast,lunch, dinner and down it with a v8 if that is good enough.
Im just tired of having to eat out all the time and when i try to cook something to bring to work, it either has as much crap in it as fast food, or its better but tastes like sh^t...
I guess if our scientists & doctors said EXACTLY what the body needs, then their would be so many food-companys out of a job, huh??

anyone have the answer for me??? I dont like eggs(unless its in fried rice), i dont like chesse (unless its motzerella on pizza), and I dont like Milk(but ok to use as ingredient in recepies)..

i can swallow a cold sandwich(sucks to bad), really need warm food.
dont like salid dressings, but will eat a raw salid just fine, no dressing.

did i mention im picky, and have very basic tastebuds.   
Most important-> I hate all forms of SeaFood(i know im crazy); except HushPuppies(I know, but they are always served on the plate(hehe)...

**And cant stand strong spices, im a plain salt & pepper guy. some basic rubs on ribs ok, steak marinates usually ok(just depends), but mostly a salt/peper only guy, not crazy abotu all the extra.

Can ya help me???

**My idea of something that sounds good would be to take (ground beef, Kielbasa Sausage {cut upin little chucks}, Onions, green pepers, maybe mushrroms, cooked in a PREGO-SAUCE {yep-spaghetti sauce}) and pour it over some angle-hair noodles. For some reason i doubt thats healthy, but this is something I consider a top notch meal. (dont forget the texas toast)..

Ok, I didn't read all your question cause it was way to long.  Go to caloriecount.about.com  input what you eat throughout the day and it will let you know what vitamins, etc. you are/are not getting.  It is easy, free,and about the most accurate thing you will find.  It also gives  you examples of food containing things you need.
Bottom line for easy to fix food, open a can of beans and heat or eat cold.   Pinto, black bean, etc.  most are pretty healthy except for all the sodium you get from canned foods.  So if you can cook your own, that's even better.
Spinach and broccoli have tons of good stuff and can be eaten raw, just buy and eat no prep time.  Most other veggies are healthful too and usually don't have to be cooked.  One average raw carrot gives you all the vitamin A you need.  Try raw beets, etc.  All easy I eat beets just like an apple, I don't even peel them.  So all of this is easy and quick.  Popcorn, which can be microwaved is relatively healthy if you air pop it and don't add all the chemicals in the prepackaged stuff.
Best of luck.

Rice and beans can be made in 15 minutes..  Mix in cilantro, avocado, salsa, tomatoes, corn, vegetables, whatever.  Whip it all up in a pan with a little oil for something goooood :) serve with chips.

Load the crockpot with split pea soup in the morning, eat at night. Other crockpot ideas: chili, bean soup, sausage&amp;potato soup, spaghetti sauce, etc. 
Super easy!

Rice, steamed zucchini and cabbage is yum! Fry it up or steam it. Both tastyy

Chop up vegetables beforehand and always have a large salad with dinner. It doesn&#x27;t have to be extravagant, just be sure to load it with things you like :) 
Tomatoes, cucumbers, peas, corn, carrots, chopped onion, nutritional yeast, vinegar, beans, okra, etc....

Hopefully these gave you some ideas good luckkkk xo
