[quote=Anonymous]Have you tried a low-calorie grain base?

If you are careful about portion size you can get 200 calories of thin rice noodles or couscous and top with veggies that you like + a sauce.

Vermicelli rice noodles + roasted broccoli and carrots. Personally I like red peppers, cucumber, purple cabbage, green onions, cilantro and basil. I also like to add nectarine. Add tofu or chicken or shrimp. Sauce of your choice (I like hoison + rice vinegar + a little soy and some sweet chili sauce, you can add peanut butter but that's higher calorie, though does have protein).

Couscous + roasted turmeric cauliflower. Lots of veggies work here. Brussels sprouts, broccoli, squash, peppers, mushrooms whatever. Add hummus (I assume you dislike chik peas but maybe not hummus?), tzatziki, and I like cucumber/tomato/olives. Feta if you like it. Maybe a greek vinaigrette or spicy shug. This is like Cava.

Couscous + any roasted veggies + vinaigrette + sliced almonds and/or parm for protein.
