What are some good, healthy, low calorie recipes for side dishes?

Q. I have lost 30 lbs in 3 months, but it is getting boring - I eat mostly grilled veggies, grilled chicken and fresh frult.. anything to jazz it up - something that has worked for you.. THANKS!

A. I use a lot of the Ground Turkey - the one that is like 85/15 or something - it has very little grease but just cook it, drain it, rinse it to get the most grease out if you can and than put back in pan to warm up again
Turkey Salad w/ Salsa, tomato's, GREEN lettuce (not the white) Onion's if you like, Grated Cheese (just a little) & Blue Corn Chips (optional) I used Flax Seed Chips and crush them up mix w/ the salsa and other ingredients if you choose or eat like a normal salad

I used Fish a lot as well and most people don't believe this but Crab Cakes are very good for you and make a nice Mesculin Salad w/ grapefruit slices and a lil lemony type dressing - use organic w/ NO SOY

Take non processed shaved meats or raw type salmon cut a cucumber 1/4 to make a long cup - make sure to shave off rind (it isn't good for you) fill w/ cream cheese, meats, veggies like diced tomatoes for a cucumber bread roll type sandwich

Eat more veggies and less fruits - Fruit is fine but it is loaded w/ sugar and carbs - natural of course but it is better to eat more veggies than fruit - you most likely know this but just putting it in

Egg Whites or Lentil type Beans are another great option - good source of Fiber

Congrats on your 30lb weight loss

4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts

Saute the chicken in a little olive oil and the onions and peppers until the chicken is done.
Add the ketchup and soda and simmer 15-20 minutes......... serve over brown rice or white if you prefer

A. This will give you a great opportunity to learn more about cooking or to expand what you already know. I think the Fat Free Vegan website will have exactly the type of recipes you are looking for. Everything is healthy and low in fat. Here is just an example:
