I mean really quick healthy meals for dinner for someone who works long hours, loves to run and hates to cook.
Ideas other than chicken pasta, tuna, etc. Thanks.

Sweet potatoes. Set oven to 420, put a couple in a let them cook until soft when squeezed. Probably 45 mins for normal sized potatoes. Add some butter/cinnamon/brown sugar/whatever and your good to go. My favorite is to add cooked corn. They are cheap

Black beans and rice. Buy a rice cooker. Buy some canned "cuban' black beans, like Trader Joe's. Top with a couple of fried eggs.

Buy loaf whole wheat bread. Buy sliced turkey . Put turkey on bread. Add mustard. Buy large squash. Cut in half. Bake in oven an hour or so until soft. Enjoy.

Quesadillas are crazy easy to make and you can put in almost any ingredients. My favorite recipe is as follows:
Get out a pan and put it on an off stove
Put down a tortilla then cover with cheese, onion, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Put another tortilla on top.
Turn stovetop on to a little less than medium and flip it when the bottom tortilla is crispy.

I just did that with strawberry pie filling. Yummy
Thanks
Buy a bunch of vegetables, spinach, and kale. Spend a half hour before your week starts cutting up everything and tossing together in a big bowl. Now you have a healthy salad for the rest of the week.
Buy some big russet potatoes and bake them all. Store them in the refrigerator. Heat one up in the microwave, then add some canned chili and grated cheese, and heat again thoroughly. Add some baby carrots as a side dish. Quick and good meal.
OP asked for quick and healthy meals, not "quick and healthy meals, but only things for non-f@gs." My contribution fits OP's criteria. Thank you for your valuable contribution.
Stir fry!
Buy a bag of frozen vegetables and frozen chicken.
Defrost chicken in fridge or microwave. Cut into small pieces--stir fry that in pan with olive oil.
Once the chicken's done, put that in a bowl. Now stir fry the vegetables in the same pan (more olive oil if desired). Once the vegetables are done, put the chicken back in the pan with the vegetables, sprinkle some garlic salt and fry for 30-60 more seconds.
There you have it. Cook some rice for the side if you want.

Steps
Step 1
Cook the pasta according to package instructions, drain and allow to cool.
Step 2
Meanwhile, spray a grill pan with olive oil and set over medium heat. Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise and arrange the four pieces on the grill pan. Sprinkle with Seasoning of your choice and cook on one side for 4 minutes. Turn over and cook on the other side until the chicken is cooked throughout about 4 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the grill pan and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
I often boil some frozen veggies and mix them with canned beans. I usually put a little olive oil and Italian seasoning on them.
Real quick and nutritious.

Crockpot Chicken Chili
Into a crockpot, add...
2-4 frozen chicken breasts
2 cans Rotel
2-4 cans of black beans (I prefer to drain and rinse them first, but whatever works for you.)
(Optional) 1 can corn (drained and rinsed)
2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 can green chilies
Season to taste (1tsp chili powder, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, some garlic if you like)
Cook on low for 6 hours. Remove chicken. Shred it with a fork and return it to the pot. Slow cook for two more hours.
Serve with a garnish of sour cream, shredded cheese, and crumbled tortilla chips or Fritos.
Put what you don't want to eat in the next couple of days into Rubbermaid/Tupperware pint containers and freeze them. This makes about a dozen servings. Once you nail the seasonings you like, this a great winter staple.
