Sauted chicken with a side of apple and rice.
Baked Salmon - take the raw salmon and squirt some lime juice on it and toss it in the oven... Baked Potato and steamed green beans.
Just do a google search on recipes containing rice. It's low cost, and has that "swelling" aspect that makes you feel like you've eaten more. If you get hungry later, drink a glass of water and you'll feel full again.

I've been putting together some recipes for our womens heart health event for next week (I work for a hospital and have been working with registered dieticians for the recipes)-- here are simple things we came up with that are very healthy! Not exactly an entire meal - but great side dishes or you coudl add some lean protient as a main dish - like grilled chicken breasts or broiled fish.

Tilapia fish which can be made one of two ways, both low cal.
Baked tilapia---
Old Bay Seasoning
garlic salt
pepper
milk
Soak the fish in milk for about 5 -10 mins. Then, rub the dry ingedients into the fish. Bake (on a cookie sheet) at 350 for 30-45 mins---or until fish flakes easily with fork. (Keep checking it, time can vary).
Pair with green beans and flavored brown rice.
Fried Tilapia (still low cal)
Olive oil
Cajun or cracker breading mix (cheap at the store)
garlic (fresh, jarred or salt is fine)
old bay seasoning
Soak the fish in milk, water, or egg whites for a few mins. Then "bread" the fish with the seasonings. Fry the fish in a skillet with about 1/2 inch of olive oil until done. Pair with a baked potato and salad.
Parmesan Chicken
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Low fat/reduced fat parmesan cheese
flour
garlic
pepper
all purpose seasoning or greek seasoning
Olive oil
Mix all dry ingredients. "Bread" the chicken breasts with the mixture. Fry in about 1/2 olive oil until done.
BIG Salad
-skinless, boneless chicken breasts
-eggs
-onion
-green pepper
-mushrooms
-low fat croutons
-Romaine lettuce
Cook chicken how desired. Hard boil eggs, but only use the whites. Crumble them. Toss all ingredients together. Use a low fat dressing or lemon. Voila!
One thing I like to make when I'm too tired to cook is a crusted chicken breast. Just pick up some Tyson boneless skinless hand trimmed chicken breast from the store(that way you don't have to trim the fat off yourself) and a pack of shake'N bake for chicken. Comes in lots of varieties. I have extra crispy, BBQ glaze, Parmesan Italian, and original. The Shake'N bake only adds 40 calories and 1g of fat to the chicken, making one serving of chicken only costing you 150 calories and 2.5g of fat. The other thing about cooking I hate is cleaning all the pots and pans. With this recipe, you only need a cooking sheet(I even line the sheet with aluminium foil so I don't have to clean that). The extra crispy tastes like fried chicken without all of the fat and guilt KFC comes with. Just pop some frozen veggie in the microwave as two side dishes and you have yourself a no hassle meal! link below on what it looks like. http://www.kraftfoods.com/assets/recipe_...
