I am a HUGE proponent of Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet and Eat Clean Diet Cookbook. Fantastic, whole foods recipes with a TON of flavor. If I cut calories, it helps if my next meal is so delicious, it feels like a treat to have it. I have both those books and right now, when I cook, I use them for about 90% of my planning.
Other than that, I have old standbys - chicken breasts in breadcrumbs/shake and bake (with or without some tomato sauce and parmesan, or over a bed of spinach with lite Ceasar), turkey burgers with lowfat cheddar (with or without a whole-grain bun), ground turkey chili, ground turkey spaghetti sauce over whole-wheat noodles, lean steaks with baked sweet potatoes (and a pat of salted butter).
Sometimes I like to cook a lot, sometimes I like to keep it simple and just "assemble" my meals - turkey burgers don't take a lot of time to grill up, and then I just reheat them all week. Tosca's Lasagna takes a lot of time to prep and put together, but it's DELICIOUS.
