Low Fat Diet Guide

My husband and I are trying to eat VERY healthy… We’ve been eating tons of fruits and vegetables… high fiber, low fat meals… We’ve been working out 6 days a week – and have been on this health kick for about a month, so far, and seeing great results… but I’m running out of ideas of meals to make.. eating plain old fruit and vegetables gets pretty boring… and i feel like I’m about to give into some awful food if I can’t come up with some yummy AND healthy food.

What are some meals that you make that are very low fat.. high fiber and protein? Simple recipes are okay too… I usually love to cook, but not so much when I’m dieting.. lol.

Also — We used to (and now are fighting the urge to) eat when we get bored … what are some things you do to fight the urge to eat out of bordem?
umm.. i’m not eating TONS of fruit.. I just meant eating tons of fruits/vegetables and whole grains in general, rather than processed garbage.

Fruits are actually way harder to eat than vegetables to me… we aren’t big on sweet things.. I gotta force myself to get in my daily fruit.

First off, I’m 21, F, about 5’9 and 145ish. The only meat I eat is seafood, primarily fish. Anyways, i’m planning on eating 1,400 calories a day (I did a few online calculators and got maintenance levels at about 2,400 a day for my activity level and that you shouldn’ t subtract more than 1,000 calories a day from maintenance levels), mainly of veggies, fruits, yogurt, and fish, along with some eggs, cheese, other low-fat dairy, some nuts/seeds, whole grain wraps, fiber plus bars and every now and then either a 100 calorie pack or some sorbet if I’m really craving something. I also drink protein shakes too after I get done lifting weights. So as long as i’m eating these foods, staying around 1,400 calories a day, and exercising (cardio and weights) I should lose weight right? Any experience or tips would be great too! Thanks!
I don’t eat meat other than fish as I’m a pescetarian (vegetarian who eats fish), but I get plenty of protein. And I know I don’t actually need to lose it, but I really want to lower my body fat percentage so my muscles are more defined and "toned" looking. Right now I’m around 20%, but I’d really like to get to about 14-15%. Oh, I already don’t eat white/ processed flour, only whole wheat and whole grains and I very rarely eat chips or other fried foods. Since I don’t eat meat, except fish, I basically never eat fast food, so that’s a non-issue as well.
