At home I like to make soup. A brothy soup with sausage, beans, ham or shredded rotisserie chicken is great this time of the year. My biggest challenge to eating light at home is when winter rolls in you just want something warm and comforting from the oven like stuffed shells. Soup helps me get my comfort fix.

Never been to 4 Square, but sounds like I need to remedy that soon. Nice tip on TSC, we go there often. They are always very accomodating and my son loves the place.

I rarely go to Tropical Smoothie Cafe given that 4sq is right across the street. But, when I do they're happy to make their smoothies without the sugar if you ask. Trust me, they are plenty sweet with just the natural fruits that go in them.

My best bet for breakfast is the granola and blueberries at Red Door. They make granola so tasty that I don't miss the eggs and biscuits and bacon... okay, maybe a little. But, I love going out for breakfast and that's the only way I can justify it on a regular basis.

And how about the Root Cafe? They have some good meat alternatives, like the Banh Mi sandwich and the tofu scramble. I often ask for a side of sauteed kale -- not on the menu, but if they have it and aren't swamped they'll usually make it for me.

For yummiest healthy kids menu, I would vote for Lilly's Dim Sum.

Today's lunch was a Vegan Hummus sandwich with a cup of califlower soup at Boulevard. Good stuff, even to this carnivore!

4square cafe downtown has an all vegetarian menu if memory serves me correct. Eating less meat is great for your health.

The seasonal salad at The Pantry. No matter the season I know it is going to be a good salad. If I feel extra hungry I'll add salmon. Bonus points for the terrific homemade bread that comes with it.

Baja Shrimp salad at Zaza (although they have changed their shrimp in the past year. They are smaller now.)

Shrimp Ka-bobs, make it Snappy, extra veggies at Flying Fish

A salad at Local Lime (forget the name) that has salmon on it and that is really good. I also like that the guacamole has the option of ordering jicama and cucumbers as dippers.

Thai Chop Salad at Big Orange (I've only ordered a burger there once, that's how much I like the salad).

When I'm trying to eat light, I can't skimp on flavor or good fats if I plan on sticking to the lighter diet for a while. Of course, the only calories I tend to drink are alcohol and that tends to be my undoing in the "diet" department.

I'm looking forward to reading others' suggestions.
