Cooking for a health nut?

Asked by v1kt07 (160points) March 24th, 2015

So, the girl I’m seeing is coming over this weekend and we’re going to cook dinner together… we’ve done this several times making things ranging from home made margherita pizza to gourmet burgers and pommes frites… all from scratch. It’s a blast, and great date fun before cuddling up to a movie!

But… she’s gotten hard-core into fitness and health… it’s like she’s training for the Olympics or something! She want’s to be a personal trainer and has gotten seriously into it, even doesn’t want to have a glass of wine anymore. I mean, I lift weights on occasion and jog now and then, but nothing close to her near addictive obsession with working out (3hrs a day, no joke, with 1 day off a week) Whereas, I’m seriously almost like an analog of Anthony Bourdain when it comes to eating and drinking.

She said, “no gluten, dairy, or soy…” then said she’d be willing to splurge for our date “within reason…” “Nothing fried or buttery, low salt, basically Asian is off the table unless it’s a super tasty thing”

So like, there goes everything I’ve learned from all my episodes of DDD, Chopped, No reservations, The Layover, etc!!

I need some advice here, she has LOVED everything we’ve made together so far, but I want to pick something awesome that respects her current situation!

Any chef’s (even the dilettantes) have some suggestions for me!?
