Here's a good low calorie AND low carb one that I made up the other day...

1 head napa cabbage
20 oz lean ground turkey
1 medium carrot, diced
2 radishes, diced
small onion, diced
2-4 cloves garlic, diced
sesame oil
low sodium soy sauce
freshly ground black pepper

Put enough sesame oil in a pan so that the veggies won't stick (I probably used 1/2 - 1 tablespoon) and put on medium or medium high heat
Add carrot, radishes, onion, garlic and cook until tender
Add a few splashes of soy sauce
Add ground turkey and cook until no longer pink
Drain any excess water or fat

Take the napa cabbage and remove the leaves, rinse and shake dry (put in a salad spinner if you want. I just shake them dry-ish). Scoop some of the turkey mixture into each cabbage leaf and roll it up. I do it as I eat since they don't stay rolled up.

I got about 4-5 lunches out of this, paired with a salad. Mine came out to be about 120 calories per cabbage wrap and I ate 2 with the salad for lunch.

Also, if you hate radishes (like me) and/or dislike carrots (yep, also me) this is a good recipe since you can't actually taste either of them...yay sneaky vitamins!

And a breakfast one:

6 eggs
6 breakfast meats (pork/turkey sausage, soy sausage, bacon, turkey bacon, etc)
6 light english muffins
6 extra thin cheese slices
freshly ground black pepper

Spray a jumbo muffin tin with nonstick spray.
Crack an egg in each spot in the muffin tin
Break each yolk with a sharp knife
Crack pepper over each egg
Bake at 350 degrees 20-25 minutes or until cooked
Let cool, then remove with a spatula

Toast english muffins

Cook breakfast meats (unless already fully cooked)

Assemble each sandwich with english muffin + cheese (I fold in the corners) + meat + 1 egg. I wrap them in tin foil and then freeze for emergency breakfast situations
