What's your go-to meal for weekdays?

I either use ramen as a base and put eggs and veggies in it, or I have scrambled eggs with hashbrowns. For some reason, these meals don't fatigue me and I can eat them constantly.

I once had someone go, "But what about all the salt in the ramen?" Thing is, I don't snack and I don't eat big meals so I'm not actually getting a lot of salt from other sources, and the ramen doesn't put me over what a normal adult should have.

It's always important to put nutrition in context. Things that are "unhealthy" if you are eating them AND THEN snacking all day from dawn to dusk are providing necessary calories and fat for someone who is not eating to excess.
