Anyone know any good dinner ideas?

My quick go to is chicken or fish with a veggie and a side.

Load up on veggies. I like to combine peppers, onions and cabbage. Add some diced chicken breast. I keep my veggies in the freezer so I don't need to add any oil when I cook them. Yes, even the cabbage can be frozen. When everything is done add your favorite sweet and sour sauce. Enjoy.

I do a quick stir fry. You can use fresh vegetables if you have the time. But I just grab a bag of stir fry vegetables from the frozen section, cook my boneless skinless chicken or lean beef in a little bit of terriyaki sauce and add my vegetables. It really good with just a little bit of soy sauce too. I don't add any oil, i just use the juice in the wok or the pan from the meat and left over terriyaki sauce. If you want a little bit of carbs to go with it, cook some of those rice noodles or soba noodles. They are really good and a little goes a long way. Really quick and easy to cook. You just soak them in hot water for 5-10 minutes. Throw it all together in the same pan you cooked your vegetables and chicken with and you've got a really healthy meal. Fast too.

I always keep brown rice and stir fry veggies handy. Toss in about 3 ounces of chicken breast or and egg white and a little soy sauce. Quick and easy.

I have never heard of feezing veggies so you don't have to add oil. Does this work well? Do the veggies still taste as good?

Yeah, the veggies will still taste fresh. What happens is that when they're frozen, the heating process creates a natural moisture when the veggies thaw, so they don't stick to the pan when you stir-fry them. An alternative to using oil, would also be to use some chicken broth [low sodium, preferably].

you can make stuff turkey

2 green bell pepper
1lbs ground turkey or ground lean beef
lowfat spaghetti sauce

if you know how to make stuff peppers use that receipe it is good low in fat

Yes. I freeze tomatoes too. Just wash, core and freeze them whole. You can also dice them. When I thaw the tomatoes, I put them in the blender to puree. Then use this to make chili or whatever recipe that calls for tomato juice. You can also dice the tomatoes and use them in chili or sloppy joes. I like making my own spaghetti sauce. Any vegetable that is frozen has to be cooked once it is thawed. For instance, you wouldn't be able to use frozen cabbage for cole slaw.

I also use pineapple juice, doesn't burn or turn sticky and really doesn't eveporate! It works and tastes great esspecially with chicken! I havn't used oil in over a year.

Turkey Burgers with feta and spinach (I think this is close to an Atkins receipe) - my favorite dinner!

1lb lean ground turkey
1 container of LF feta crumbles
1 Egg
1/2 cup chopped Spinach (I use fresh)
1/4 cup of chopped onions
dash of cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper
optional 1 tbsp of finely chopped black olives

Mix all of the above ingredients and form burger patties. Spray a pan with cooking spray and cook.
Put turkey burger on an whole grain English muffin with a slice of tomato and 1/2 tbsp of lite Ranch dressing

I usually eat this with a small side salad with Newman's Own Lite Balsamic Vinagrette.

Hope you all enjoy this as much as I do!

Scratch what I wrote this ^ is what Im making

soup soup soup soup soup!!! make a few batches on a sunday and they'll see you through the week. i like to add lots of spice to keep them interesting. if you cant bear to eat it without dunking something in it, steer clear of bread but have some low salt crackers instead.

stock up on fruit and seeds for snacking, and chop up some oranges into segments and freeze them = sugar free ice lollies.

How about turkey bacon blt's.

We use Jennie O turkey bacon and load it up with lettuce and tomato with some .... add some light/low fat mayo. Depending on the type of bread you use, each sandwich could be less than 200 per sandwich. I like using Stop & Shop's whole wheat sandwich thins which are only 100 calories.

Give it a try!
