I have 3 to 4 oz of meat and fill the rest of my plate with veggies. All the starches in potatoes, rice, pasta just eat up too many of my calories to be worth it.0

^^This is me, too. I DO eat starches, but I restrict the quantities to a few bites.
I usually eat green veggies sautéed in a pat of butter. Sometimes, I eat salads, too.0 -
Veggies do get tiresome at times but I have found that if I cook them in a variety of ways it helps. I love roasted cabbage and cauliflower. Just put a bit of EVOO on them and place in single layer on a cookie sheet or casserole dish for about 45 minutes at 375--- I usually flip every 10-12 minutes. They are really good! I also like to roast sweet potatoe chuncks and just about every winter squash possible.0

Of course, last night, for dinner, I ate a spinach "burger" patty (spinach, bread crumbs, cheese, egg, and spices) and a 1/2 cup of macaroni and cheese. Pretty tasty!0 -
I do the same thing with the sides. Hubs loves potatoes so that's what we have the most. I don't care for them as much so I just have a tiny amount and leave the rest to him. The only side dish I leave lots of calories for is cheesy rice (Uncle Ben's broccoli au gratin) - that stuff is awesome!0
