I am looking for healthy recipes, not to high in calories, suggestions?

I am kind of a picky eater,


I wont eat any kind of sea food and I only eat beef, chicken and turkey for meat.. I love any kind of vegetables and fruit. Could you give me some recipes that are appetizers, main courses [ breakfast ; lunch ; dinner ], snacks, and desserts.





Thanks :]I am looking for healthy recipes, not to high in calories, suggestions?
For breakfast it's usually a smoothie with a banana, some yogurt and frozen fruit or your choice. The frozen fruit acts like the ice to you don't have to add any. Oatmeal is always a good choice but if you're like me you rarely have a chance to actually make it. So I eat a lot of cereal just without the milk. Good one are the multi grain cheerios or any of the cheerios really, frosted mini wheats, or oatmeal squares.
