I know this isn't a recipe, but it is healthy and it helps me. Maybe it will help someone else.
Since beginning a new job after being sedentary and depressed at home for sixteen months, I find that I need energy throughout the workday. I have started using 100 calorie packs of cakes, chips and various snacks in addition to fresh fruit, veggies and yogurt. I eat breakfast and then eat a snack on first break, lunch, and a snack on second break. When I get off, I eat just a partial meal and package the remainder for lunch the next day.
This enables me to work efficiently and lose weight because it keeps my metabolism higher than just eating breakfast and lunch.

[This may sound a little complicated, but it's my family's favorite way to do salmon]

This recipe makes 2 servings.

Salmon glaze: Mix 1 TBS brown sugar, 1.5 tsp lite soy sauce, 1 tsp mustard.

Broil 8 oz of salmon for 8-12 minutes. Brush with glaze during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

Vegetables: Thinly slice 1 c. carrots, 1 onion (white or yellow), 1 bell pepper (any color), garlic, zucchini, or any other mixture of vegetables you like. Stir fry them in 2 tsp olive oil over med-high heat until tender-crisp.

Rice: 1 cup cooked brown rice (I use Boil-in-Bag).

Sauce for veggies & rice: Mix 1 TBS brown sugar, 1.5 tsp lite soy sauce, 1 tsp mustard, 2 tsp white rice vinegar. Pour over cooked veggies & rice (I do this after plating).

Serve w/ small green salad w/ 1 TBS fat free dressing.
