Would rather
Cook than do all that chopping.
My parents loved the salad bar at a restaurant in the 80s. They loved the chickpeas. Doctors told them that chickpeas were bad for them. Seriously, no reason to listen to doctors anymore. They are practicing on you and I. You know what works for you. You know what not to eat. You’ve got this.
Thank you so very much for this video. My wonderful Husband passed away April 29th/2024 from a sudden and unexpected diagnosis of stage 4 terminal cancer,,, he lived only 2 months (well, not actually 2 months, nearly 2 months ). We used to eat home cooked meals and I’ve always loved cooking for our family through our many years together, and I still cooked when it was just him and I at home. Since he’s passes, I have trouble cooking now, because it reminds of him and how much he loved my cooking. I’ve been mostly eating canned soups with crackers. I need to try eating more healthy again. So, thank you very much!❤
I am 94 and I will do more of this video, 4 weeks meal with grocery list. please. Granny 94.oregonUSA.
Don’t like tuna
You don't have to be old tmake these. Thank you so much for this videos and to share these with my elderly friends. Blessings
Speaking of ALERTS….I use a lot of canned tuna. I prefer Yellowfin, but will use Albacore (if on sale). My preferred brand is Genova, but a sale with $3.00 off for 6/8 (can’t recall) had me buying Bumblebee Albacore in water. Hmmm…when I used the first can, I noticed that the can was the same size as the original 6 oz but now labeled as 5 oz. That’s OLD news. However, inside was a different story. It appeared (by sight) to be significantly LESS than 5 oz. Of tuna I usually see. So, using my scale, I weighed the Bumblebee tuna, and the water. The water weighed at exactly 1 ounce. The tuna weighed exactly 4 (FOUR) ounces!!! I purchased a multi-pack, so I weighed each can as I came to it. SAME RESULTS. Last week, I got my Genova, (a dollar more than the Bumblebee) but I also wanted to test this brand. Well, it was a 5 oz can, but 5.2 oz of tuna, and .8 oz of fluid!!! I haven’t finished with the Genova package, but I liked that I got more product than fluid!!! Just my own opinion, but buyer beware!!!
Too much dairy for my high cholesterol 😢
Hummus could go in a bowl 😋
I do not eat any meat, chicken, or fish. Nothing with eyes!!
Dont like most of your ingredients so im gonna substitute other stuff. I like the idea of not cooking, and snacking some meals.
I make meals but sometimes split them between meal and snack
The wrap has 6 g of protein
Anything sweet is OFF the plate for. Eating good meals is hard bc so many meals are FULL of sweet something or other.
Thank you I love all the great food ideas .
These recipes look delish!🎉
I love these recipes , all of them! I'm going to start tomorrow, I find I'm not eating as much and I can't be bothered cooking these days.
Im excited! Tired of trying to cook every night even with new recipes ! Thank you!

How does YouTube know I’m retired lol. Probably all the oldie stuff I’m looking up to be healthier for longer. 💪 I do actually make multiple servings and freeze some so I have good food I just have to defrost and heat. My usual is eat two freeze two. When I go to the freezer and it’s better than the takeaways I would have ordered feeling lazy.
Thank you for this informative video! Lot's of good ideas.
This is one of the most practical videos I’ve seen for seniors. So many older adults want to eat healthier but feel too tired to cook complicated meals. These simple, high-protein ideas are realistic, affordable, and easy to follow. I especially love how each meal supports strength and independence. Thank you for sharing such thoughtful and helpful guidance for older adults!
VERY NICE HELPFUL VIDEO, THANK YOU !❤
❤ Thanks love these recipes makes life simply easier ❤❤❤
There needs to be a daily balance between fibre, protein, fat, dairy & fruit. None of these dishes satisfies this requirement; and portion control is critical.
Theres no such thing as low sodium deli meat unless you make them!
Honestly when you’re tired all the time even simple meals feel like too much work. 😅 I remember being exhausted every day, belly bloated after eating and constantly craving random snacks. Even “healthy” foods made my stmach feel heavy and uncomfortable. I tried changing meals and nothing helped. Then in a womens online group someone mentioned (Eat.Like.a.Woman.Protocol) (loren.green). I read it and everything shifted… 28 lbs gone, belly flat and my energy finally steady again. Still surprised this isn’t talked about more.
Feeling too tired to cook used to be my daily reality because my energy was always so low. 😔 I’d eat quick snacks or random meals and my stmach stayed bloated all the time. I tried high-protein foods, meal plans, supplements… nothing fixed how awful I felt. In a womens healing forum someone suggested (Eat.Like.a.Woman.Protocol) – (lorengreen). I tried it and things flipped completely… 30 lbs lost, digestion calm and my energy finally stable again. Kinda crazy how hidden this info seems.
nice one
love it
grreat one
What's.more important IS SAFE FOODS. SS WE AGE WE BECOME INTOLERANT TO ALL THE POLLUTION IN THE FISH INSECTICIDES IN FRUITS AND VEG..
Where do you get the vegetable???
This video literally came up as I'm eating my dinner: small can sweet chilli tuna, 3 cocktail tomatoes, avocado, fetta, french dressing & 2 slices bread. I'm only 54 but I prefer eating simple things that are not too heavy. Love these ideas.
Cruelty free recipes please !
There are thousands of wonderful nutritious healthy foods available, foods that don't deliberately cause suffering and death to anyone ! No one should have to suffer and die because of ones food choices !
Tuna is known as one of the most dangerous fishes today ,full of mercury!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the great ideas! 🎉❤
You don't need
to murder and slaughter animals to get protein. Get informed and not brainwashed!
Wonderful video! I am going to give these a try!
These recipes are great! However, what about vegetables
Right?!? ❤
I think you left out the tuna in the tuna and chickpea wrap. Fab ideas though xx
I like the meals but many seniors live alone. What are we supposed to do with the leftovers from each meal? Five grapes, ten blueberries, 1/2 a cup of this and that?
Great video!!😊
Thanks!
