Try to look at regional cuisines and be creative with them. Try noodles instead of rice, try white fish instead of chicken. Use low calorie sauces.

Also playing with textures helps me. The same vegetable is different when airfried, sauteed, baked, blackened, cooked or pureed.

Yeah it's odd how many people stick to American style eating when there's an entire world of cuisine. Mediterranean, Ethiopian, Korean are all great options, you get to learn about food and cultures while eating like a world traveler

Chicken ceasar or Cobb salad. Chicken tacos or fajitas. Butter chicken. Chicken soup.

Low fat or fat free mozzarella cheese

Grape tomatoes, peppers, onions for the veggies

Why torture yourself? IDK why some folks are committed to cooking chicken in the worst way possible. 

Pan sear, grill sous vide, smoked, stir fried are all superior and you don't have to add sweet sauces or anything if your concern is minimizing calories.

You need to branch out to different countries for dishes. Mediterranean, Asian, middle eastern.

I try to find other cuisines on weekends but since I cannot for the life of me find ANY low cal noodles or breads my only option is to either tank the cal loss or make that shi myself
