Two things you have to try, especially if you're vegetarian. Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) is a super grain (seed, actually). It's a complete protein with only 172 calories per .25 cup serving, 31 complex carbs & 6 grams of protein. It beats brown rice hands-down. Cook it just like brown rice, except only 15-2o minutes.
Tempeh is a minimally processed soy product packed with protein. It's "meatier" than tofu and low in calories. I bought a flavored version, but if you try plain, steam it first to open it up to absorb marinade or seasonings.
Ingredients:
-1 serving of sesame garlic tempeh
-2 servings Chinese frozen stir-fry vegetables
-1 serving quinoa
Total calories: 320
