No prob bro.
Heres a recipe I made myself for a side dish,that is supprisingly filling
Take some broccoli, a full head,not a giant one,one half of of quarter of a clove of garlic,shred a little onion in.
Steam it in a steamer,if you dont have one a handled colander should work
Now melt some butter,go easy here,we're talking a pat not the stick
Now when the broccoli starts to turn a dark green pull it,it will be a nice and firm,not the mushy version we all hated as kids,and still have lots of flavor.
Now drizzeling is once you pull it out,its pouring your pre-melted butter carefully over the entire dish.
Flavorful, but not through the roof cals or carbs,and it has vitamins you need

More boxer chow
Line the bottom of large skillet with oil, take about 4 potatoes ,skin them and slice them in chip form.
A bit of butter is also allowable here,but very little,spice them with pepper to taste,and a very little bit of salt.
When they start to go tender,take them out of the pan and bake them(it cooks off the fat of the butter,while retaining the flavor),as it cooks pour the shunted oil and butter out. If your feeling decadent,you can put some shredded low fat cheddar cheese over it while it bakes
Very filling,again,low fat,high filling

And for snacking on
Cut up some fresh veggies,some broccoli,some cauliflower,some baby carrots, some pepper
Now take one tabelspoons of of Heinz mustard,and one of Guldens,now mix in 3 teaspoons of honey
You now have the dipping sauce of the gods
What Im trying to point out,is you can eat not a little good,but VERY GOOD without breaking training
I know we're all trained to eat potato chips and pizza,and I know that,but with a little self training in cooking,you can eat gourmet,and be right there in training,and eat well no less.
I eat awsome, but even at my age,and with my injuries,Im not putting on weight
And I like beer on top of it,which is a carb looking for a place to stick

I'd say take in some power foods. These are the foods that help you blast through the gymwork.

These are a lot more common than you would expect.

Bananas, carrots, avocados and ginger are all great.

Two things that are good to have around the house if your in training.
A block of low fat cheese,and pickles
Youd be suprised how far just a little nibble of cheese will take you, and lets face it if your in training,your sweating like a pig,which means your blowing your own salt by the bucket full.If you dont replenish it, you cramp up. Well what makes a pickle?
A cucumber soaked in brine
My wife didnt even used to like pickles,Ive seen her inhale a polish dill since she's been training
But again, no fat,no carbs, and its something your body was dying for anyway.
Now dont get me wrong,your body needs some carbs for energy,but you dont want them being empty carbs, like cookies, and for the love of god avoid cake like the plague it is
