    for breakfast I like to make an omlete or scrambled eggs with sliced up lean turkey lunch meat and feta cheese. You can use egg whites if you like but I use the whole egg. I found its also good with sauteed asparagus, green onion and parmesan cheese. for lunch or dinner I like to make taco salads. I use ground turkey, taco seasoning then add it to a bed of romain lettuce, with onions a little cheese, a little sour cream and some cheese. Its still pretty healthy and for some reason I feel like Im cheating but its ok lol!

    Homemade chicken soft tacos on corn tortillas are one of my favs. Heat the tortillas on an iron skillet, add a modest amount of skinless cooked chicken breast, add shredded lettuce and tomato, a little cheese, light sour cream and my favorite Marketside "Hot" salsa from Wally mart.

    I've been eating 2 or 3 apples a day. My favorite kind is Gala, Honey Crisp. I keep them in the fridge and I think I like them more than junk food now. I find it helpful to eat an apple before meals so I don't overeat and it's actually been working. I also found this, thought it was interesting. http://voices.yahoo.com/are-apples-good-weight-loss-might-surprised-1345661.html?cat=51

    Oven fried foods. Basic recipe for coating is 1 egg (with optional tsp of hot sauce mixed in), 1 cup of some type of breading (bread crumbs, Panko bread crumbs, crushed corn flakes, corn meal, or a mix of any of those), and spices to the style or your liking (salt, pepper, oregano, Cajun seasoning, old bay, etc.). Dip the item being fried into the egg wash then coat with the breading. Put 3 tbsp. of oil into a glass baking dish, then arrange the coated items and bake at 375 until done.

    The dishes generally come out to about 300 calories per serving or so, taking into account the fact that there is leftover egg, breading, and oil. There is generally about 1/2 of the oil left free in the baking dish when the food is cooked, although some coatings absorb more oil than others (I'm looking at you, Panko bread crumbs...). Also, generally, there is about 1/2 the egg mixture left, and between 1/4 and 1/2 the breading after the item is coated.

    Some things I have done:

    Catfish (corn meal with creole seasoning)
    Chicken tenders (1/2 cup corn flakes and 1/2 cup bread crumbs with a mix of herbs and spices like oregano, thyme, celery seed, dill weed)
    Chicken breast (either plain with salt and pepper, or with an Italian style spicing of oregano, basil, thyme, garlic powder)
    Cod fillets (Panko bread crumbs, salt, pepper, oregano)

    Edit for a little clarity

    We have one of these! I put in exactly what's shown (english muffin, i slice of ham, one slice of cheese and an egg), and according to MFP's recipe builder it was 268 calories.

    That chili sounds great! And I love apples but they just jumped in price at the store =( I usually eat one per day

    Oven fried! I have tried to do variations of this myself. I have not used oil, but I may need to try it at least once and see if it makes a world of difference. I use panko and have used egg as a sticking agent as well as light mayo once and spicy mustard once. I think I liked the mustard the best! I never thought to put hot sauce in though- definitely going to try it!

    @chezjuan- do you like panko or cornflakes better? Or a mix of both? I have not tried cornflakes as a breading yet...

    I've been eating this all week. My husband and I both loved. Winter comfort food that's still healthy! (And conveniently in the database, with and without noodles--if, like me, you find yourself out of noodles on a cold, snowy night and deciding rice might be a good alternative.)

    Spicy chicken and spelt salad! I think I could eat that for every meal and be perfectly happy. It's the first recipe that pops up when you Google it, and it's really easy.

    Lemony lentil salad with salmon is also really good and easy. Best part is both of the recipes are already in MFP's database.

    Oh, I forgot to add my breakfast. 6 oz nonfat greek yogurt, half cup dry oats, a sprinkle of walnuts, handful of berries, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Comes to 430 calories (17 g protein) and keeps me full for a long time, so I don't snack a lot in the afternoon.

    I have a few meals and snacks I use as my go-to but could use some new ideas!
    Some of my favorites are:
    baked salmon with couscous and sauteed peppers/onion
    pasta with red sauce and 1/2c low fat cottage cheese
    Scrambled egg on a corn tortilla with salsa and avocado
    Cajun jambalaya (add a jalapeno!)
    Salsa chicken

    What do you love? What should I add to my list? =)

    what do you love? Ice cream

    to answer your question which if i'm understanding correctly you're looking for new recipes/foods to try; last night i made stuffed bell peppers. they were stuffed with my version of ham fried rice: brown rice, diced ham, diced carrots, onion, edamame, jalapeno pepper (diced no seeds), soy sauce, 2 eggs and water chestnuts (i think that was everything i put into it) oh and extra virgin olive oil (used this to cook the veggies)

    the night before that i made ground beef with gravy, mashed potatoes and frozen carrots/green beans/wax beans. i used 93% lean hamburger, low sodium beef broth, dijon mustard, corn starch (as a sauce thickener) and extra virgin olive oil or cooking. mashed potatoes had light sour cream in it instead of butter and a tiny splash of milk (to thin it out a bit) and the veggies had onion and garlic powder on them.
