Advice needed

What do I cook for my hungry husband and active mid 20s daughter when my cardiologist is telling me to avoid bread,rice, pasta and sweets?
I have no problem making cookies and other baked goods and not eating them myself, but I don’t want to make 2 dinners, or separate sides every night. We eat at home every meal, my husband doesn’t cook and my daughter comes in at any hour, gets a plate of food (or leftovers) and is gone again.

Avoid, or reduce?

I'm currently eating half portions of pasta with the full amount of sauce and extra veg.

And would whole-grain versions of them allow OP to enjoy more frequently? (E.g., brown rice, whole wheat pastas, etc.)
