Tasteofhome.com has a feature where it will let you search for low fat and calories recipes. I think they have the best recipe searching feature that is out there on the web, and I have never been disappointed with a recipe that I have used from there.
Chicken is your best bet for a lean meat. Grilling is the best way to cook it so that the fat drips away. Fall is a great time for squash and root veggies. There's a lot of great and easy recipes for acorn squash which is pretty good. Butternut is one of my favorites as well. Roasted in the oven and then mixed with butter (I've been using smart balance lately and it is pretty decent -- better than margarine). Take some time though, at least an hour to get the squashed cooked. This is a great time for sweet potatoes too. Broccoli is best steamed, in my opinion. You can use a steamer in a pot of water or a rice cooker to steam if you have one. I also like to throw in some baby carrots or cauliflower when I steam as well.
One of my favorite fat free deserts is Skinny Cow fudge bars if you can find them. At only a hundred calories, they are large and satisfying, and everyone that I have given them to loves them. Alternatively, there is little better than a fresh fruit salad. I love tropical fruit with pineapple juice mixed with a bit of honey as a glaze.

Grilled chicken with a light zesty sauce. Use fruit like mango to make a light salsa to pour over chicken. Steam veggies like broccoli, carrots, zucchini. If you need a carb, try using sweet potato or pumpkin which is high in fibre!!

Wash and trim broccoli, then boil or steam it until just tender (about 7 or 8 minutes).
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the flour. Stir for one minute, then gradually add the broth and milk until the sauce is thickened. Add the nutmeg, half of the cheese and the sherry or wine. Stir until the cheese melts, then remove from the heat.
Place the broccoli in the prepared pan or dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese over it. Place the chicken slices evenly over the cheese.
Whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form and carefully fold it into the cheese sauce and pour it over the chicken. Bake about 30-35 minutes, or until slightly bubbly and golden brown.

Go for salads and fresh fruits. Have lots of juices to finish with and if you need to have meat, grill or steam is healthy.
