    Like the Mexican rice that is an orange color with peas and carrots?

    Use whole wheat rice. (Youprobably already knew that)
    For the tomatoes, only use a maximum of 3-4 tomatoes.
    When you put the tomatoes in the blender, add some water. Also, use less onion and little or no garlic
    Peas and carrots...I dont think they are high calorie/fat...

    Sorry if that was not what you were looking for.
