Consume an appetite suppressant.
Natural foods or or dietary supplements is your best food. Anything high in fiber for example like oatmeal would suppress your appetite. Dietary supplements my favorite include green juices like Organifi. Experiment with different stuff and see what works for you

I bought one of those gadgets and liked it the first time or two that I used it, but then I started slicing my thumb open on it every time I used it. It had a plastic piece that was supposed to hold onto the zucchini so that didn't happen, but it didn't work.
You mean that white cap piece? Yeah, that didn't work for me either. I always end up with a good chunk of zucchini at the end that can't be zoodled without risk of injury. If I had a julienne peeler, I could probably use that towards the end.
Since the OP is looking for food ideas I also make a faux asian noodle salad with the julienne peeler. I make "noodles" out of cucumber (use the seedless english cucumbers) and a few carrots. I make an asian dressing from sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar and toss it together with some bean sprouts and scallions.
My goto to menu for a while was ..micro a sweet potato, steam 3 servings of frozen broccoli, with a skinless chicken breast. Now the chicken breast, I would sprinkle with Mrs Dash, then top with maybe a teaspoon of olive oil. Microwave covered for 8 minutes or less...till juices run clear. I would then use the chicken juice for the sweet potato ...as a topping.
Or...micro/steam 3 servings of frozen broccoli, top with spaghetti sauce and a serving of mozzarella cheese....melted on top of course.
I love to fill up on steamed broccoli, or a big bowl of shredded lettuce, or other low carb veggies. Top with a single portion of the higher cal dish. Makes you feel like you are eating more and it is much more satisfying.
Or...scrambled eggs with sauteed veggies...mushroom, onions and peppers. Have a small flour tortilla on the side.
OK here's a question. People use zucchini to replace spaghetti noodles and julienne the zucchini to give the "same feel" of using pasta. What if you don't care that much about pasta, you could just cut up the zucchini, toss it in with some ground turkey, spaghetti sauce, mushrooms, onions, garlic and call it dinner. Right?
It took a few tries to get that noodly texture, but here's what I do: run the zucchini though the spiraler, then lay it out on some paper towels and sprinkle with some salt, and let it sit for half and hour or so. Blot off the "sweat", heat a pan with a tiny bit of oil, and saute the zoodles until they're cooked about half-way through. Then pour a few tablespoons of broth over the zoodles, put a lid on the pan and let the steam cook it the rest of the way through.
