Call it unrepentant curiosity today...
What foods are at the top of your "Most Used" list for each meal? What do you eat, time and again? Why?

Breakfast
> Egg - Large Egg
Don't get me started on how perfect eggs are. I love eggs: poached, in omelettes, boiled, french toast, scrambled, you name it.
> Hubbards - Lsa oats
Instant oats with added sunflower seeds, linseeds and almond slivers. Lots of good fat, some protein and loads of fiber. I suppose I could make a similar dish from scratch with rolled oats, but the truth is that this sachet is very convenient to make at work for what I call "breakfast stage 2".

Morning Snack
> Orchard Gold - Blackberries; Raspberries & Blueberries, frozen
> Yoplait - Delite Vanilla Flavoured Yogurt (Nz)
I'm not surprised. I mix frozen berries into yogurt for a morning snack most days. The berries have loads of fiber and they're delicious.

Lunch
> Signature Range - Moroccan Spice and Garlic Hummus
> Signature Range - Pita Bread, Wholemeal
I went through a stage a few months ago when I ate toasted pita bread with hummus every single day as part of lunch. I'm diversifying more now, but this still heads the list. And I still eat the hummus regularly on wraps and with carrots (which are #3 on my lunch list).

Afternoon Snack
> Horleys Sculpt for Women - Swiss Chocolate Protein Powder
> Milk - Nonfat (fat free or skim)
Ah. The protein shake. LOL.

Dinner
> Zilch! - Frozen Yogurt, Passionfruit and Mango
Okay. I'll admit I eat this as dessert... quite often. It's very yummy.
> Chicken - Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breast, Raw-Correct
My favourite dinner protein--used to make a very wide variety of dinners.

After dinner/exercise snack
I've got this category because I usually exercise in the evening. Our family tends to eat dinner early.
> Realfoods - Cornthins Multigrains
These are thin corn & rice wafers, ready to be topped with anything under the sun. Like peanut butter and banana. Or avocado and salmon. Or... or... or...
> Sanitarium - Original Crunchy Peanut Butter--No Salt Added
Grin. Yummmmm.
