    chicken
    lean pork
    bags of broccoli slaw
    dried beans
    mozzarella
    deli meat--high in sodium, but good to snack on if you don't have many calories and you're low on protein
    so many different fruits and vegetables
    oatmeal
    veggie burgers
    canned tomatoes
    sandwich rounds

    Eggs, big tub of greek yogurt, cheese, hummus, sparkling water, small amount of seasonal vegetables I will eat within the week, onions, apples, lemons, limes, ginger.

    To control bread portions I keep them in the freezer and take one slice at a time.

    Eggs and greek yogurt are big ones. And I always have salad fixings in the fridge. Also usually do weekly meal prep of chicken breast + mixed cooked veg + quinoa or sweet potato so that's usually lunch most days.

    Work staples (easy to make in microwave):

    Egg Whites
    Pre-cooked bacon
    Oatmeal
    Bread
    Steam-in-bag veggies
    PB2 (goes great in the oatmeal!)

    Home staples:

    more steam-in-bag veggies
    Eggs
    smoked salmon
    Frozen fish fillets and chicken tenders
    konjac noodles
    slow-churned (low fat) ice cream or froyo
    tiny potatoes
    stuff for flavoring things (dried herbs, spices, etc... lemon juice and low sodium soy are my personal staples)

    You can ALWAYS find a filling (both in being satisfying and in nutrients), low-cal meal so long as you always have these on hand
