Sweet Potato and Pomegranate Salad

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1277318-sweet-potato-pomegranate-salad

I know how you feel! What about tuna, salmon, shrimp? I make chicken spaghetti a lot with whole wheat pasta.

How about fish? Or have you tried Quorn. I am not veggie any more but I still love a Quorn chilli (which I'm having tonight) or get quorn pieces and do a nice quorn curry. You could also do a nice omelette too

Tuna with light mayo on a wrap with greek yogurt (Danon Light & Fit is the best tasting)

Lemon pepper Tilapia with sweet potato fries (homemade or bagged)

Hard boiled eggs with hot sauce and a wrap

Scrambled egg whites with stir fry veggies and soy sauce

My favorite: Hard boiled egg whites + greek yogurt + Oatmeal for lunch

Homemade turkey meatballs with light marinara and rice or shirataki noodles

Use a crock pot and cook a few lbs of chicken with 2 bottles of barbecue sauce or Salsa for 7 hours on LOW. Make pulled barbecue sandwiches or eat the breasts whole.

Lean cuts of steak with a HUGE salad (very filling)

I've found a lot of great ideas on this site: http://www.skinnytaste.com/

I get it! I don't even like chicken breast they just seem so dry. You can still eat the drum & thighs just remove the skin. How about making Farmland fresh pork tenderloin, they sell them at King Soopers. There are different varities, like teriyaki sesame ginger, cracked pepper, barbacue etc. You keep them in the bag remove the labels bake at 450 for 30 min. have some frozen microwave veggies with 11 tater rounds or make a taco bowl salad. Brown your turkey drain, add cut up lettuce, add a can of either pinto bean, or black beans make sure you drain, add reduced fat shredded cheese, grape tomatoe slice in half, black olives sliced in half, slice some jalapenos up then add your salsa, you can also add avacados and I take tortilla chips and crush them up and add them too. If you are making it for your family you can make it in a big bowl and have them serve up in smaller bowls or you can just make a big bowl for yourself. All is good in the world!!!! You can also make turkey/lean ground beef meat loaf with whole wheat crackers egg onions and after you bake for 1 hr just add ketchup for last half hr. YUM have a bake potatoe or you sill can have 1/2 c mashed potatoes with Mrs Butter sprinkled on it Yeh :flowerforyou:

-- Shrimp is very satisfying. I love it in pasta, risotto, and leafy green salad.

-- Try ground chicken or turkey and make burgers loaded up with veggies & skip the cheese

-- Ground chicken/turkey is also great for making chili or taco salad (using salsa as salad dressing)

-- Sunbutter or Soynut butter (we have nut allergies in our house) on whole grain toast

-- Salmon or tuna

-- Eggs are so versatile & great for protein. I never skip the yolks though -- lots of good stuff in them.

-- Maybe do something more with your grilled chicken if you're just eating it plain. Make a sandwich; shred or dice it and use in a big salad; make stir fry (don't let "fry" scare you off -- stir fry can be healthy); make fajitas on Ole Xtreme Wellness tortillas w/ no cheese (don't use seasoning packets -- crazy sodium -- just make your own); cut it into strips and make a wrap


I think it's also important to learn to season meat well. A bland dinner can make you full, but not necessarily satisfied. Make sure you have the right combination of spices -- even if it's just the right balance of salt and pepper -- to help your food be less boring.

Good luck!
