I like to sautee fresh veggies in soy sauce mixed with rice vinegar, and either add chickpeas or a eat with a lean meat or fish, and 100g cooked jasmine rice.

I also LOVE drizzling asparagus with olive oil, adding salt and pepper, and baking until they're shriveled and sweet.

Steamed broccoli with lemon juice is also a common go-to side dish.

Crock pot turkey chili can be frozen in batches for MONTHS and goes well on a little bit of spaghetti. Lean ground turkey, kidney and black beans, mushrooms, onions, diced tomatoes... Basically anything you want in there. Simmers all day and is sooo good.

Tonight I tossed chicken pieces in some paprika, cumin, chili powder, and then broiled on both sides. Then I brushed on a honey and cider vinegar mix, and broiled for another 3 min. The spicy and sweet combo tastes awesome.

There is so much you can do with chicken, veg, and rice

Thanks:) I like frozen berries a lot for my oatmeal and stuff.

I dip blueberries in some flavored yogurt and freeze them. DELISH.

I've also been into making these little tiny sandwiches with deli meat and cucumber slices instead of bread. And then I dip them in some kind of condiment like mustard. Super low calorie and cute too. Could add cheese or a cherry tomato or something too.

But for real meals, I go on pinterest. Make 2 low-cal recipes a week, divide them into servings before I put them in the fridge so they're ready to go and portion controlled, then freeze whatever I don't eat in a week. When I pull them out of the freezer, the recipe will still be in MFP ready for me to log it again.

I do frozen berries in yogurt as a dessert for a long while.
I wrap a pickle in deli meat with mustard, sometimes will use a little cream cheese, it takes time to make them and helps me to slow down my eating.
