    I love this site because under the "healthy diet" tab, you can go down to "nutrition search" and specifically enter criteria you want (i.e. calories, carbs, sodium, etc).

    Don't be afraid to throw things together...experimenting is most of cooking. Sometimes it'll work, sometimes it won't. :)

    Honestly some of my favorite meals are the easiest - grilled (or baked) chicken, fish or shrimp served with steamed brocolli, sliced tomatoes, green beans, etc. It's not rocket science and it's yummy. Sometimes keeping it simple is the best way to go (less ingredients to try to figure out calorie wise).

    One of my favorites is chili rubbed salmon (or shrimp) - sprinkle shrimp/salmon with a little bit of kosher salt, pepper and chili powder. Sautee in 1 TBSP of olive oil. Serve with steamed veggies (or a black bean salad - Paula Deen has a really good one on Foodnetwork.com).
