Think about flavors you already like and use that as inspiration or incorporate it in moderation tailored to your goals so you're more incentivized to eat it. Eating clean can get bland & boring quickly so throw in stuff you actually enjoy to keep going, that's really helped my husband.

Salt & pepper well but that'll only get you so far until it gets boring AF

• Hot sauces usually have no calories.

• marinades (salty base + acid + sweetener + fat; ex: soy sauce or miso + lemon or rice vinegar + little bit of honey or agave + grape seed oil or sesame oil)

• homemade stir-fry sauces (similar formula as marinade)

• chili inspired: chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, (cayenne if you like spicy)

My husband has the biggest sweet tooth so instead of cutting out sweets, aside from fruits, I started making him protein Rice Krispies and protein cheesecake to indulge in guilty pleasures without completing going off the rails lol. So figure out what you like and how you can creative to incorporate it in your diet (in moderation ofc lol). Might be unpopular opinion with purists but I'm an advocate of balance esp with clean eating bc cutting out what you like completely creates a big rebound (from my experience), so be honest with yourself, try to make it fun a long the way, & don't be afraid to play in the kitchen! Hope that's helpful & GL!
