    Do you mean snacks or do you mean anything?

    My response is fruit. But, then I thought you might not just mean snacks.

    Homemade chili - less than 250 calories per serving. Yum! Also has 11g of fiber.

    I was thinking meals or snacks. I am looking for anything that is low fat that tastes as good as say, nachos with cheese, chicken wings or pizza. I know nothing will actually taste that good, but I would like to find something that gives the same degree of satisfaction, but is healthy with high nutritional value.

    I've had a cauliflower crust pizza with garlic, roasted vegetables (roasted oil-free) and a bit of daiya cheese that was low carb/low cal and pretty awesome. You can find the recipes online. I also do a baked potato with tons of veggies (roasted and steamed) and put a vegan topping on it (take some nutritional yeast and mix with hummus, garlic, salt, pepper and balsamic and mix together - super creamy/yummy).

    Hoppin' John salad is another that is really good (I make the pcrm version you can find online).

    Chickpea burgers or blackbean burgers with no bun (or half a bun) and top with lots of veggies. High protein and lower in calories.

    For breakfast I do green smoothies: 2 cups spinach, coconut milk and fresh and frozen fruits.

    Last week we had some amazing zucchini boats. We roasted the zucchini with a teeny bit of evoo and topped with this roasted red pepper sauce and white beans. There is a tutorial for it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooxk3fqxSQg
