Grilled or baked fish and steamed veggies is good if you havea good source for fish. I personally like salmon or tilapia and season it with lemon juice and greek seasoning, lemon pepper or lawry's season salt ( go easy on that one).

Grilled lean pork is good as well. Serve it with veggies and a low glycemic index rice for a carb treat. The pork can also be sauted in a bit of olive oil. It doesnt take much oil if you have a good non stick pan. I like to season it with rosemary, garlic and onion powder.

So... you up for having random strangers over for dinner? LOL

If you buy a big pork loin, you can roast & serve it with black beans & fried bananas one night; then chop some in thin strips and fry for pork tacos with guacamole & ancho-sautéed pecans (I love cabbage leaf "tacos" but the fam uses tortillas); and use the rest to make Posole (anchos dissolved & puréed in chicken stock + hominy). My family likes each meal better than the last, and my fav is a poached egg on Posole for breakfast.

I do a lot of chicken, too. Tossing it in quinoa with grilled zucchini & yellow squash & a crumbly cheese like queso fresco or goat is a nice change of pace. I add shredded spinach to mine to "stretch" the quinoa. I make a gallon of chicken stock on Sunday with a whole chicken carcas and use it for varied soups all week. Bon appetite!

Oven roasted spaghetti squash (2 cups) with marinara (1 cup - i like sauce...) and lean ground bison - or beef - (4 oz). You get protein and plenty of veg/fiber. 414 calories
