Grilled chicken and vegetables served with pita and tzatziki!2

spiralized zucchini or yellow squash with onions, black beans, & French dressing...i put it all in a bowl and warm it up in the microwave.
stuffed orange peppers (i hate green peppers) - i brown a pound of ground turkey with an onion, throw in some fresh grated white cheddar, put into pepper halves & bake at 425 for 10 minutes.
the "standard" - chicken, rice, & veg. i meal prep a ton of this every sunday so i have it for lunches and supper when i'm low on time/energy.
spaghetti squash with ground turkey gluten free meatballs.
white american cheese & dill pickle egg white omelette. don't knock it til you try it0 -

Chicken florentine meatballs with sauce over top of zucchini noodles. My whole family loved them!1

A big salad and a baked potato.

Chicken & mushroom risotto. No cream, use spray oil. It's a cheating one though because after cooking off the wine I chuck all the stock in, put a lid on the pan and leave it for 20 minutes before coming back to check it. Still tastes awesome!1

greek garbanzo bean salad and baked skinless chicken thighs0 -
Toast a wrap in a toasted sandwich grill until crispy. Put on tomato/pizza paste. Top with anything you like (cook toppings first of putting in oven) Put in Oven until ready or in microwave for about 2 minutes. ENJOY. When I make it with the toppings I like (carrot, rocket, cherry tomatoes and beetroot) it is under 200 calories so you could eat 2 entire pizzas for about 400 calories (depends on your toppings though.
You can spread a small amount of avocado on base instead of tomato paste if you prefer the taste.0 -
Three cans of tuna, swiss cheese, and 3/4th pound of spinach. It's almost too much to eat at once...almost.4

Veggie egg white omelette with avocado and whatever leftover carb I have in the fridge, (some kind of squash or sweet potato) and maybe some fruit0
-
I usually go with chicken breast with salsa and veggies, though I sometimes mix up the veggie options. Lately I have discovered cooking my veggies on the grill with a little bit of ranch seasoning.0
-
I sauté chopped cabbage,bell peppers,onions,chickpeas,rotel and a little taco seasoning in a little olive oil then I mix in cooked ground turkey. Another go to meal is a cooked egg on avocado toast with a side of fruit.0

Ground turkey meatballs with 2 cup of mixed veggies, a whole wheat pita bread,and hummus1

Brown rice, Chicken and Brocolli that's what working for me.0

Usually my go to healthy dinner involves fish because it is so quick to cook!
I always keep Salmon, Tilapia & Shrimp in my freezer at all times.
Sauteed Shrimp & Asparagus with Lemon Juice is one of my fav's1 -
Soup. It's filling, easy and so many different flavours to choose from.1
-
Healthier version of fried rice. Brown rice, egg whites, pineapple, low sodium soy sauce, seasoned with ground ginger and salt.0
-
With time to cook, pan seared chicken thighs with sauteed shallots, mushrooms, garlic and a green veg. No time/lazy? Morning Star veggie burgers (Grillers original) and salad/toast.0

A few favorites:
1. Fish Tacos w Trident Alaskan Pollock Burgers (160 cal/ea; 18g protein; 5g carbs; 1 fish burger = 2 tacos). Mission corn tortillas (70 cal) w all the trimmings (avacado, salsa, chopped lettuce, feta cheese, squeezed lime, fat free sour cream). Yum!
2. Individual pizza; use a pita round (120 cal) w 1/2c spaghetti sauce (60cal); feta cheese; sausage or turkey pepperoni, sauteed in water onion & bell pepper & mushrm, sliced tomatoes, chopped olives, garlic); feel like Im cheating!
3. Favorite snack or dinner side: organic edamame sprinkled w Montreal seasoning (hi in salt); only 140 cal. Very satisfying.
I dont "diet". Spend my calorie allotment how I want (usually healthy stuff but not always). As long as I stay w/in my allotted calories -- I lose weight!! You can too!!

I guess I really don't have a go to..my wife and I are avid cooks and we make all kinds of different stuff and we eat very healthfully.
Last night I grilled some salmon and we had baked sweet potatoes and medley of zuchini, summer squash, red onion, spinach, and garlic sauteed in coconut oil and about 1/2 tsp of curry powder.0 -
Grilled Chicken breast with baked bean.
Grilled Chicken Tacos with Radish and Feta Cheese and a touch of salsa.
Orange Roughy & Broccoli & Cheese Brown Rice
Grilled Steak marinaded in Low Sodium Teriyaki sauce served with Mango and Pineapple salad.
White Chicken Chili.2 -
I put a lot of my dinners over a bowl of greens, usually organic spring mix or 'power' greens - baby chard, spinach, romaine, collard, etc. Burgers, chicken, chili, stews, and even some of the Paleo sauces I make, like an *kitten*-kickin' Bolognese (http://eatdrinkpaleo.com.au/secrets-to-a-good-paleo-bolognese-sauce/). Since I don't eat pasta, and I don't have a spiralizer, it's a good way to eat stuff that would normally go over pasta or rice. Whole Foods now has packaged spiralized butternut and zucchini 'noodles', but not consistently.0
-
Roasted vegetables and steak. Lol. (Is that weird? For a 23yr old woman?)
Sometimes I like a chicken wrap for dinner, wholewheat wrap with chicken breast, grated apple, cranberries and greek yoghurt. Sounds odd, tastes great.0 -
Kinilaw with vinegar and garlic0
-
Zucchini boats stuffed with ground turkey and sauteed peppers, onions, mushrooms and garlic. Lots of yummy Garlic!!0
