What's your favorite HEALTHY meal?
When I say healthy, I mean low fat and calories, not just natural ingredients. Mine would be sushi if I was eating out - just a bit of salmon, tuna, aji and scallop. If I was cooking at home, probably a toasted piece of rice bread with slices of onion and smoked salmon and a drizzle of lemon, served with a tomato and cucumber salad.

Not all foods that are low in fat are healthy, in my opinion. There are good fats and bad fats. The trick to healthy eating is eating the right kinds, not just cutting it out all together. At any rate, we are huge salmon eaters in my family. A little salt and pepper and grilled, with any type of veggie and grain. As long as it's salmon.

Thanks for the clarification - I guess I just meant low-fat and low-calories and generally healthy as in no trans fats.

I also look to salmon or halibut for my go to healthy meal. I put the fish, asparagus, sliced baby red potatoes, tarragon or dill, scallions, a little olive oil, salt and pepper in parchment paper. I fold it to lock it closed. I cook it in the oven at 400 for 23-25 minutes. Healthy, easy and fast!

Steamed kale with a little soy sauce and sesame oil, grilled salmon with black bean sauce, and brown rice sprinkled with that Japanese seaweed/sesame stuff.

Call me crazy, but I love the simple"diet menu" items (like steamed shrimp and vegetables) from cheap Chinese take out places.

Anything chicken for me- here is one of my favorite chicken recipes-
Baked Lime Chicken
Ingredients
6 medium bone-in chicken breast halves (3 lb.)
1/2 C. ReaLime Lime Juice from Concentrate
2 Tbs. olive oil or cooking oil
1 Tbs. chopped fresh thyme or 1 tsp. dried thyme, crushed
1/2 tsp. onion salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Directions
Skin chicken if desired. Rinse chicken; pat dry. Place chicken in plastic bag set in shallow dish. For marinade, combine ReaLime, oil, thyme, onion salt and pepper. Pour over chicken; seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator 4 to 24 hours, turning occasionally. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drain chicken, reserving marinade. Arrange chicken, meaty side down, in 15x10-inch baking pan. Bake 25 minutes. Drain fat. Turn and brush with marinade. Bake 20-30 minutes longer or until tender and no longer pink.
Yield: 6 servings

I absolutely adore cottage cheese, so I'll go with that topped with peaches and strawberries in summer, bananas in winter. With a bit of honey or sugar if the spirit moves me.

Slow-cooked homemade black beans with brown rice, topped with steamed spinach. I make the beans very flavorful (with roasted poblanos, fresh onions, garlic, jalapenos, etc.), don't use much oil, and cook them for hours, so they provide enough flavor to balance out the other relatively bland parts of this very-healthy meal.

deep fried tamales covered in cheese, gaucamole and sour cream made with barbacoa with a double tall margaurita, frozen and refried beans made with lard...

I've always enjoyed a well-appointed salad, with fresh greens, veggies, garbanzos and a light vinaigrette. Adding grilled shrimp or salmon is a tasty bonus.
