What are some good recipes for losing weight? I struggle with lunch and dinner recipes that are good for me to lose weight. I hate plain foods, unless it’s like cooked veggies, I can do those plain! But meats and what not.. and I have a huge problem with carbs and butter

    Not sure I understand your question. I make chili, beef stew, tacos, stir fry etc. I don't think of any of them as plain. I use the recipe function here and enter each of the ingredients, estimate the number of servings and then log it. This is especially helpful when I portion out the extra that I take to work for lunch.

    MFP blog has some great recipes. Also check out skinnytaste.com. Chocolate covered katie has some really good sweets recipes (she is vegan, but gives alternate ingredients).

    Sometimes just subbing ingredients can make a huge difference in your regular recipes. Sub non-fat plain greek yogurt for sour cream; Stevia for sugar, ground turkey or sirloin for ground beef or chuck.

    Good luck!
