salmon and chicken for meat, go to walmart and get a microwave vegetable steamer for about 10 bucks.
now go to supermarket and get the freshest veggies 2-3 times a week and steam everything, along with your salmon, tuna, and chicken breasts.
broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, turnips, beets, squash, etc etc.
also lots of fresh fruit to give you the sweetness you crave.
no sauces, no dressings.

Ekk good gawd man, please do not remove all enjoyment from food.
BTW skip the damn microwave steamer and just invest in a good wok as well as one of those stainless steel collapsible colanders that open up like flowers (you know everyone has one somewhere and never uses it). It will cover all of your steaming, stir frying, smoking, and other forms of quick cooking.
People want food that tastes good. If you desire to go low calorie then to really stick with it the food must still taste good. Make the most out of the calorie items you add and find substitute for the ones that do not bring flavor to the dish.
Spices, vinegars, herbs, and many other components can add a great deal of flavor without adding much in the way of calories, many add next to none.
