So many come to mind...steam or grill your favorite veggies and pair with some lean protein such as fresh fish, shrimp, or boneless chicken breast. Endless seasoning possibilities. I am just starting to post recipes on my web site. Recently I made Salmon over Zucchini noodles with a Thai peanut sauce sprinkled with cashews in just under 20 minutes start to finsh. It only had 350 calories. Go to http://mymotherssecrets.weebly.com/salmon-over-zucchini-noodles-tossed-with-thai-peanut-sauce-sprinkled-with-cashews.html if you want to see a picture and recipe. If you want more more help give me an idea of what types of foods and flavors you like and I am happy to help you however I can.

Hmm..
I made some banana pancakes a while back that were delicious! Flourless, gluten free and dairy free.

For one person you need:
2 eggs
2 bananas
(together that should come to 366 cal.)

-In one bowl, crack your eggs and beat them
-In another bowl, mash the bananas up
-Add the two together
-Heat the pan and add the mixed bananas and pancakes to it (size of pancakes will probably depend on the size of your pan.)
side note: you can also add cinnimon and fruit as well

Quick and easy Great to kick start your day, or have as a lunch!

For dinners here's one I do all the time:

-1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
-2 cups bean sprouts, rinsed and dried
-2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
-1 1/2 teaspoons gingerroot, minced and pared
-2 garlic cloves, minced
-3/4 cup scallion, chopped
-3/4 cup carrot, chopped
-3 -4 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
-3 tablespoons honey
(pretty versatile, so you can change it up all you want!)

-In a wok or large heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over high heat; add sprouts and cook, stirring quickly and frequently, until lightly browned and tender, 1 to 2 minutes. transfer sprouts to plate and keep warm.
-To same wok add remaining oil and heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute; add chicken, garlic, carrots and ginger and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
-Add scallions and continue stir-frying until chicken is tender and browned on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
-Add soy sauce (to taste) and honey and mix well; cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute longer.
-Top warm sprouts with chicken mixture.

It takes about 30min overall (15 prep, 15 cook) AND it's under 400 calories.

Or you could do a personal favourite of mine. A salad I came up with pretty much on the spot and stuck with.

Main Ing. are:
-Romaine lettuce
-raw pecans
-strawberries
-crumpled feta cheese

but sometimes I add:
-cranberries
-blueberries
-red onion

Hope I gave you some ideas!
