What spices or seasonings do you recommend without particular nutritional value?

[peterm28]

Stuff like steamed broccoli or frozen vegetables, chicken/fish is rather bland. Can you recommend seasonings that make these tasty, without a lot of sodium or other nutritional value? (Not many/any calories). What is a generic go-to?

Brocoli tastes good stir fried. Some soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt pepper pinch of sugar etc.
Or just oyster sauce with a drizzle of heated sesame oil.

In terms of regular veggies, you can sautee them or grill them. Usually i just use salt pepper and olive oil.

Chicken you just gotta either marinate or grill with some salt pepper chili powder paprika powder, garlic powder etc.
Sometimes i use goya, sometimes i use old bay.
Really the options are limitless. With the internet, there are a million recipes online. You just gotta try some and then write down which ones you liked.
It takes experimenting. Also a bit of honey after the chicken is almost done grilling tastes great.

I like roasting my vegetables and seasoning them with a little bit of balsamic vinaigrette, thyme, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. You can also have it with vegetable seasoning which they sell it in a blend in stores. As for chicken, I do garlic sriracha seasoning and let it sit overnight and then grill it in my foreman grill.

Jane’s Crazy Salt. It’s a blend of spices like salt, pepper, onion, etc. Usually put it on chicken before cooking. Also pretty good on eggs and veggies.

Sea Salt with Pepper and Olive Oil on steaks when grilling.

[bLinkMoore]

Maybe my taste is just bland, but sea salt and pepper always does it for me. maybe a bit of rosemary if I'm roasting veggies or something

[snailsrus]

Lemon pepper I use on fish and chicken for the fam

The McCormack’s chicken in the bag is a good one with whole cut up chicken, carrots, onion and potatoes

Hot sauce with fat free ranch or sour cream is a good go to

Veggies herbs or nutritional yeast

Dashi for broth

Tandoori seasoning for roasting in the oven

Jamaican rubs

Fat free Parm with salt and pepper for veggies unless carrots then a little sugar salt pepper and chili

[Omni]

Mrs dash if you’re looking for a salt free alternative seasoning.

[Benjinkan]

Smoked paprika and garlic make everything taste better.

[ucsumma]

Look in the popcorn aisle for the seasonings: Ranch, Sour Cream, Cheddar, Butter. The Ranch in particular is legit on veggies.

[JamesMUSCLE]

Trader Joe's onion salt

[TheShadowMan]

I've had good experiences with this so far:

[MrCarrot]

Lemon juice
Paprika
Ground cumin
Tumeric
Pepper
BBQ seasoning mix
Garlic
Ground chillis

Not necessarily all together

[JustinP72]

Vegetables: Everything But The Bagel seasoning (especially for green vegetables)

Chicken/pork: Misty's, McCormick's Montreal Steak, or Weber Kick n Chicken

Steak: S&P (anything else and you're doing it wrong)

Lawry's Season All is the GOAT

[RedRusty]

This is my jam for a lot of things.

[ncsuLuke]

Cavender All Purpose Greek Seasoning is the best by far. Come at me bro.

Steamed broccoli tastes nice when you don't oversteam it. 2 min max.
And do not skimp on salt when you live healthy. A little goes a long way. But too little makes your life shorter very quickly.
Salt is needed to make stomach acid which is needed to metabolize proteins and kill germs.

Add a bit of oil to utilize fat-soluble vitamins.

For fish I just use salt and pepper. But dill is great too.

I use siracha or buffalo sauce or salsa verde or any other kind of hot sauce (in moderation) on all my wraps. A kick for under 10 calories (bottle says zero normally)

Mustard, onions and tomato if I’m making a tuna Sandwich out of a can of tuna.

Lemon pepper or just salt and pepper is also one of my favs.

These do add a bit of sodium but I don’t care too much. Should I? It doesn’t do anything besides water retention, right? Is it bad for BB/muscle gain/fat loss?

I’ll be picking up one of these.

Best season-all/rub is by “2 Chupacabra”.
They have a non-msg rub that I use on my brisket. yumm!!

I’ll be cooking two baby briskets this weekend on my Weber Kettle. Will post pics in another thread. Can’t wait been months since my last brisket

Lawry's Lemon Pepper is great on chicken, fish, spinach and broccoli.
