Hey everyone!

I am having trouble with dinner ideas! I eat excellent morning to late afternoon but I am having trouble with eating just as healthy when I get home from work. My boyfriend is not so fond of eating as clean as I do during the day so I am having trouble coming up with yummy yet healthy recipes for dinner. Does anyone have any good recipes that are low in cal, carb, fat, and sodium?

THANKS!!! :)

    EatingWell.com has a lot of different recipes collections. My non-calorie restricted husband has liked everything I have made from there so far.

    My saving grace at dinnertime has been carefully measured portions combined with lots of zucchini, spaghetti squash, or salad to "pad out" the meal so I don't feel hungry!

    For example--when I make spaghetti, I'll have just 1/2 cup of noodles and 3/4cup of meat sauce, BUT I'll put everything over a pile of steamed zucchini strips or spaghetti squash.

    I've eaten lots of zucchini and salad in recent weeks... but honestly, I don't mind. If I eat this way, I can still have small portions of my favorite "comfort foods" no matter how heavy they are, AND I might even get a small dessert! :) And I'm somehow managing to keep it all down to 1200-1500 cal a day (depending on whether I walk three miles or not in a given day!).

    Best of luck.
