What’s everyone’s favorite food to eat that is clean and healthy? I love chicken and lean meat, but some recipes or ideas to make it not so boring, but at the same time not so fattining would be awesome.

    Don't really have a favorite, but I've been enjoying a roasted turkey breast lately.

    Also hummus.

    I love a big bowl of air-popped popcorn which I mist with water/vanilla/sucralose and a dusting of Flavacol.

    I marinate chicken strips overnight in Italian dressing. Coat it in whatever you deem clean (breadcrumbs, flour, crushed nuts) and bake on a wire rack at 400 until crispy (~10 minutes depending on thickness). Best adult version of chicken nuggets ever! I usually have mine with a sweet potato w/butter, cinnamon, and a bit of maple syrup and half an avocado. I don’t know why that combo is so delicious but it is. They’re great dipped in ranch dressing, too 😊

    Green beans, but cooked- does that count as clean? I love green beans.

    I'm pretty big on variety, so I don't really have a favorite meal or anything. I cook a pretty wide variety of things. Making lasagna tonight...I've been craving it, but up until this week the weather has been too warm for it...finally feels like fall here this week.

    I keep a variety of sauces in the fridge to make lean-protein-and-veggies more interesting, but my favorite is putting all of the toppings on my cheeseburgers.

    Use herbs and spices and marinades...and eat more than just chicken. Eat steak, eat fish, eat pork, eat ground beef, etc...make casseroles and soups and stews...Pinterest is your friend.

    I don' t think I eat any clean meals under most definitions of "clean".

    @amusedmonkey - I made something in that ballpark that was 140 calories a slice. If you feel adventuresome:
