Really simple. I put several different vegetables in a skillet and stir-fry them to both thaw and cook them for my dinner. I don't want to get bored so I vary the variety each time something gets depleted. I purchased a red cabbage last week and put about 80 g in the skillet with the other vegetables. While that's going on I thaw the meat in the microwave then reheat the rice and beans in the microwave. After the veg have been on the fire for 10 or so minutes I put the meat in and cook it another 6 or 10 for both sides. The cabbage keeps its color, remains somewhat firm, and on the visual aspect alone I'm glad I tried it.0

Pbfit
Smoked mushrooms
Almond milk
Without those things, I could not succeed.1 -
Rice, Laughing cow cheese wedges, Worcestershire sauce, tea, jalapenos, pickles, and homemade tortillas.1

Right now I'm loving 2% cottage cheese with a banana on top and two dashes of cinnamon. Yum.2

Air popped popcorn because air is free. Lots of volume for few calories. I like to chew on my calories.
Buckwheat/Kasha. Half a cup will yield you about 10g of protein for about 300 calories. This small serving gives you half your Magnesium for the day as well as 30% of your daily fiber. A pretty good deal for a grain, I'd say.2 -
Guavas are nice - tasty fruit with a l'il bit of protein. Jicama - love the prebiotics and the crunch. And plain Greek yogurt is an old standby - yumminess, probiotics, protein, and so versatile: Breakfast, in salad dressing, sour cream substitute, etc.1

Asian cashew salad kit from Costco. It is mostly cabbage and carrots. It's a great change from iceberg or romaine salads I've been eating for lunch lately.2

Chayote, they are a melon with very little flavor and they soak up the flavor of what every you choose to put with it. I cube them up into small pieces and fry them in bacon grease with onions....sooo good, and you would never know it's a melon because at that point it reminds me of fried potatoes

Chia and plain yogurt
Silk cashew milk and coconut milk for my protein smoothies1 -
Cracker barrel cheese sticks and fruit for a snack, Sunkist tuna packs are so tasty and versatile. Yasso chocolate chip cookie dough satisfies my ice cream craving at 100 calories. Flavored Instant oatmeal is under 150 calories for a more satisfying snack.0

Flavor infused vinegars and olive oils. We're rather fortunate here in that we're very close to wine country, so excellent infused vinegar is easy to find. Going low-sodium/low-carb/low-fat for our household meant trying to find new ways to flavor food, especially since we've tripled our veggie consumption. The Olive Press in Napa and Amphora in Berkeley have spectacular vinegars and olive oils and just a tiny bit can flavor any dish. I probably have nine bottles of vinegar and close to as many different olive oils in the kitchen!1
