Lentil soup with a scoop of guacamole and  plain yogurt.

I have been going to the gym, either to swim or lift, at night. To avoid overeating before my workout, I always like to eat the food that is easily digested.

I made lentil soup tonight. Not only are lentils nutritious, but they are also easy to cook. Soaking is not required when making lentils (on the other hand, chickpeas, pinto beans, or other legumes with bigger zise and tougher shells need to be soaked perferrably overnight), and 1 lb. of lentils only needs to be simmered in 2 quarts of water or stock for 40 minutes before serving a crowd.

By the way…have you tried lentil cookies?
