Recipes are not my thing; I really dislike following them.
Breakfast: In a small bowl I put about 4 servings of mostly non-sweet fruit - mostly berries. Then I have one serving of oatmeal with a small piece of Baker's chocolate melted in. Then for protein I have either one serving of split-peas, lentils, or beans with one teaspoon of olive oil. I have never counted the calories - it doesn't matter as long as it keeps me satisfied til lunch time.
Lunch: First I have one or two servings of fruit. Then a raw salad with romaine, a few grape tomatoes, cucumber cut up into pieces, celery pieces, one teaspoon of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and protein the same as above. With the salad I have one slice of Ezekiel bread. No idea how many calories.
Dinner: First I have an apple. Then I have a large salad bowl full of many different cooked vegetables, one teaspoon olive oil, and either one slice of Ezekiel bread or one serving of pasta.
Sometime during the day I will include a very small portion of nuts, like walnuts etc. or ground flaxseed for omega 3.
Even though I don't count the calories, because I don't care, my weight fluctuates only very little and my BMI is always around 18.
No snacks after dinner. Fasting between 5pm and 8am. Obviously this is not for weight loss but is a longevity strategy.
I guess you could call this "calorie restriction" without counting calories.

Vanilla Milkshake
My favorite protein for this is Beverly International Vanilla UMP.
1 to 1 1/2 scoops of protein powder in (sturdy) blender.
Dash salt, 4 packets Truvia, 1 packet sweetnlow, sprinkling of Lilly's Sugar Free Chocolate Chips.
You have to play around with this to make it right but I use maybe 1/2 cup water and a several handfuls of ice cubes.
Blend until all the ice is crushed and smooth.
My favorite protein for this is GNC Cookies and Cream Whey (this makes a crumbly crust, others don't work).
Crust:
Take a bowl, put in one scoop Cookies & Cream, half a heaping teaspoon of salt.
1 tablespoon of Swerve brown sugar, 3 packets of Truvia and a drizzle of water from the faucet to make a thick doughy mixture. If too thin, add more whey. The drier your mixture, the more crumbly the crust. Smash the mixture into the bottom of your bowl.
Microwave for about 25 seconds.
Different bowl: Can of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix), clump of Swerve brown sugar, several packets of Truvia, pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon and mix. Add sweetener to taste. Spoon enough on the crust to cover and refrigerate the rest. Top with sugar free Cool Whip.
Here's one of my favorite easy recipes: Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower
It's a delicious alternative to just eating raw vegetables and you only need 4 ingredients.
So you can easily knock out two servings of vegetables with this.
Ingredients:
Frozen Broccoli
Frozen Cauliflower
Olive Oil
Garlic Salt
Instructions:
Pre-heat the oven to 425
Pour frozen broccoli and cauliflower onto a baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt.
Cook for 25-30 minutes.
Enjoy!
