I buy chicken when it is cheap, roast 10 pounds of it, and pull the meat off
the bones.
I also cook up a huge pot of brown rice.
From this, I do an assembly line of small plastic containers for lunch, and
larger containers for dinner.
Layer of rice, layer of frozen veges straight out of the bag, 3, 6 or 9 ounces
of cooked chicken. A dollup of bbq, or teriyaki, or pasta sauce on top, and
you have three very different flavor fuel-food boxes.
Throw them in the freezer, and pull them out a few at a time.
Not exactly gourmet, but you can change up the sauce and get a different
flavor. Quick, easy, cheap, convenient.

This sounds sort of like what the Chinese restaurants do, but they buy their
sauces by the gallon.

resp:12 I dont know if they have a lot of sodium. Some of them probably
do but others probably dont or at least they dont taste like they do.

Which makes is all the funnier. For all the sodium they have, you'd
think you were eating a salt lick.

Ok, I looked up one of my favorites online. This is the Amy's brown rice
and vegetables bowl. This is one where I have suspected that they dont
use salt because it doesnt really taste very salty. It has 550mg of
sodium. So my guess is that all of the other ones probably have more
sodium than that.

Amy's has a low sodium version of that same dish with 250mg. I cant
remember now if what I have been buying is the low sodium version or the
regular version. I'll pay attention the next time I pick up those bowls.
Ditto the Trader Joe's bowls

I like Amy's stuff. I should look at getting those. 250 is good. even
550 isn't BAD, but I'll check it out.
