Can anyone help me with nice low fat/low cal dinners for my dh please?

[Scottishmum]

He's turned into a bit of a pie! At his request, he wants to go on a diet from tomorrow. I'm on the Cambridge diet (as I'm a bit of a pie too) so I don't really want to have to think too much about food, iykwim.

I'd really appreciate some of your favourite "diet" meal suggestions.

As a wee help;

He LOVES pasta, unfortately he also loves a full baguette of garlic bread with it!
He's not a great lover of salad, but he'll eat a wee tomato/red onion sald with low fat dressing.
Loves home made soup, but again he'll eat it with half a loaf.
Anyone seeing a pattern here?

He's a complete carb addict, he knows that himself and if he cuts out the bread and crisps he loses weight easily. I basically need suggestions that will be filling for him without him feeling as if he needs to add in the bread to fill him up.

I do give him quite big portions too, which I'm going to cut back on.

He does a very manual job, but from tomorrow he'll be having;

Cornflakes for breakfast.
4 Weetabix for lunch.
(This is his preferences not mine, he's did this before and the weight falls off him).

Sorry, this has turned into a novel, looking forward to your nice healthy dinner suggestions for him.

Thanks in advance.
