Fish, chicken, lamb.....I was never much of a fish eater, being raised
inland with a mother who was a cook cook but didn't do fish well. I
learned how to cook fish and started to really like it. I have it at least
once a week, and I almost always use fresh fish, much better than frozen.
Chicken is very versatile. There are enough ways to cook chicken that you
could have it done a different way every night for months. Lamb is
probably the most like beef. Most cuts of lamb have some fat around the
outside and chunks of it in them, but the meat itself is quite lean.

Try making oatmeal for breakfast. It is very filling and keeps you going
for hours. And use the real stuff like steel cut or large flake not the
quick cooking or instant styles which taste more like glue.
