Low-Fat Dinner Every Evening

 

My dinner plans depend on what greens (See: Recipes for Greens and Other Vegetables) are available and how much time I may have for regular meal preparation. However, with over 100 recipes in this site the choices are manigfold. The basic strategy is to change the sequence of different meals in a controlled manner:

Greens

Beans

Greens

Lentil

Soup

Greens

Others (Pizza, Cauliflower, Turnip, Mushrooms, Beets, Green beans, etc).

Since most meals result in at least two servings and I am cooking for myself, the left over portions will be served at one of the following days. This rotation would in principle be repeated during the month. But, no rules without exceptions, for example, choosing the Quick Meals option if nessescary.
