I have no idea what your tastes are. But...

Plain Greek yogurt with some fresh or frozen fruit in it (I like raspberries best), then add a sprinkle of cereal (like Alpen; it's very healthy and no/low sugar) or plain oats, and half tsp sugar. Always tastes healthy.

Banana, never over-ripe.
An orange, sliced, diced, and sectioned so it's all juicy insides, almost no rind. Then eat it with a spoon. So juicy.
Pistachio nuts.

Do you consider this healthy? It's bread with sliced tomatoes, then sprinkle shredded cheese over, dried basil, oregano, and two grinds of salt. Then toast for ~ 4 min.

Ever had baked eggs? Let me know if you want the ingredients/recipe.

Italian Sausage with Pasta and Cherry Tomatoes and Veg

Roast Chicken

If in doubt with veg, bake them in oven 350+. I use my toaster oven most days, as it's more efficient than heating up the big oven.

so baking is the healthier way to cook in your opinion?

Yes, baking has good bang for your buck because you get some flavour/browning, without added fat.

But if you like frying you can just go easy on the oil and use a healthy kind (not vegetable or sunflower - the ones that sound the healthiest are the worst for you.)

I use canola and olive, myself.
I'm not that familiar with either avocado or coconut. Here, I did some research for you. They're both listed here. Coconut seems to have been well-marketed, but there isn't the science to back up the claims.

Cabbage Soup containing carrots and olive oil and salt and tomato’s and cabbage and potatoes. You can find the recipe online but do not use onions or spices, it tastes flavourful without it.

I also like to eat pita sandwiches with pita bread and extra lean ham and a slice of cheddar
cheese with some mayonnaise inside. You could also add a slice of lettuce or tomato if you want.

Just put flaming hot salsa on all sorts of stuff (chicken, eggs, celery sticks). It's awesome. Slightly high in sodium but barely any calories.

Whenever I go to Cosco here in Japan, I buy like 10 jars of flaming hot salsa. It is my #1. You give me a chocolate cake and I put salsa on it. Then it is so spicy that I don't want to eat that much.

Also death sauce:

Unless you are extremely tolerant to spicy foods, you don't want to eat so much if you cover in death sauce.

Also, sodium is kind of a health hack to me. I am aware of the health concerns with too much sodium in a diet, but I think at least those are lesser than the ones associated with obesity. So if you have a tendency to eat too much of anything calorie-dense whether it's a stew or pasta or meat or whatever, put more salt as an option if not salsa or death sauce -- it's probably at least better than eating twice as much.
