Adding some herbs and spices to your greens will really change your opinion about foods 'tasting like grass.' Start with flavors you know and like. It depends on the cuisines that you like, too - mediterranean, middle eastern, eastern european, whatever. Each cuisine has their own special flavors.

well can i get some ideas maybe for recipes
im new to this and my dr wants me on a 1500 calorie diet
im am also new to this site and posting so i hope i put this in the right spot

Hi there! I've found www.kalynskitchen.com to be a great resource for recipes. Another site I like is 101cookbooks.com Unfortunately, both of those sites don't post nutritional breakdown, but you can always plug in the ingredients here on fitday to get that. Another one I use allllll the time is allrecipes.com

Hope this helps you to get started!

Another thing you might try is just experimenting with the things that you know you like. Try adding some more vegetables or fruits as an ingredient, to something that you know you already enjoy. The vegetables and fruits are generally lower in calories and because they have fiber, they help to make you feel 'full.' Then, when you get used to that, you can make some more improvements to the same dish by gradually using less fat (less fatty cut of meat, for example, less oil in preparation). Eventually, you'll find something you like and has some healthful improvements to it!

Good luck with the 1500 calories restriction! Best to track by writing down everything you eat.
