Grilled Shrimp Satay with Peaches and Bok Choy

Throw the vegetables and "dessert" on the grill alongside the seafood entrée—all three get basted with the same delicious sweet-and-spicy peanut sauce. What could be simpler? This all-in-one meal boasts 10 grams of fiber plus a multiday supply of vitamins A, C, and K. Bok choy is also a terrific source of calcium, which most of us don't get nearly enough of.

Grilled Halibut with Grilled Red Pepper Harissa

Harissa, a thick Tunisian hot sauce, adds exotic flavor and an antioxidant punch to this quick and easy grilled fish dish. In this version, sweet red peppers, garlic, and jalapeño are fire-roasted on the grill, then puréed with garlic, cumin, coriander, and olive oil. The delicious result is a dinner that's low in saturated fat and carbohydrates and high in protein. Couscous and grilled zucchini would make nice sides. Have some frozen yogurt with fresh berries for dessert.

Grilled Lemons, Baby Artichokes, and Eggplant

brought to you by epicurious.com and NutritionData.com

Calories 152; Total Fat 5g; Carbohydrates 27g

Here's an easy, low-calorie side dish to grill alongside chicken, fish, or a vegetarian main like tempeh. Artichokes and eggplant are both high in fiber, which may help lower cholesterol levels. Fiber also helps keep your weight down (by filling you up so you won't overeat). Most Americans don't get nearly enough of it. Eggplant also contains antioxidant compounds that have been shown to lower elevated cholesterol. While the grill is warm, prepare grilled rum-basted pineapple.
