I'm confused as to why anyone would think that baked chicken, every day, is a healthy diet. If you're after lean protein, then leaner cuts of pork (tenderloin, for ex) or non fatty fish are just as "good" as boneless, skinless chicken, and legumes (beans, peas, lentils) are even better than chicken.

Can you do some red beans and brown rice, or lentils and brown rice? (less rice for her, more for you) Not sure how/why diet and healthy have come to mean "repetitious" and "limited" in her eating scheme. No healthy eating plan is gonna be a long term success without variety.

And why do the veg have to be steamed, for pete's sake? Grilling & seasoning doesn't make 'em less nutritious.

Check out Penzey's Spices: a whole range of salt-free blends might save y'all from an endless spring progression of tasteless chicken. LINK I use the Arizona Dreaming blend to make chicken tacos all the time. Look for "ultragrain" tortillas, too.

Spot on. It always amazes me how people think eating healthy means eating the same stuff over and over again. There's a lot more out there than chicken breast and steamed veggies. Explore other proteins and ways to grill, roast, and broil your meals and you've got tons of possibilities.

Back to the OP, one way that you can "support" your SO is to come up with some creative ways to serve up the ingredients she wants, and introduce some new ones along the way.
