    My favorite healthy snack is 1-2tbsp of peanut butter on a banana or apple- it's so yummy!

    My favorite meal is 2 cups of mixed veggies and 3/4c cubed tofu sautéed in 2tbsp garlic, 1tbsp soy sauce, 1/2tsp of seasame chili oil, 1tsp hoisin sauce, 1tbsp peanut butter, 1tbsp saracha sauce, 1/4c water, and a sprinkling of seasame seeds and chili flakes over 1/2c of long grain wild rice (or brown rice.) It is delectable!

    I also love cauliflower pizza!

    I've just discovered kale chips.

    It's basically kale leaves chopped up and soaked in lemon juice, then coated in olive oil & galic powder before being dehydrated for a few hours.

    Took me a few tries to get the combination of flavours right - but I think I've got it now!

    Best part is they're crunchy like chips and I can scoff a whole bowl of it and it's something ridiculous like 50 cals.
    Not to mention all those nutritional benefits of kale.

    I think I'm doing to indulge in that peanut butter/ apple idea though! YUMMO

    My favorite after workout meal:

    Blue Almond crackers (one serving is like 16 crackers and only 23 carbs and 120 calories) and my homemade chicken salad on a bed of greens and other veggies:

    Chicken Salad:
    1 cup of Shredded Chicken
    1/4 cup almonds or pecans
    1/4 sliced grapes
    a tbsp minced dried cranberries
    1/4 cup celery
    1/4 cup minced onion
    splash of shredded raw carrot
    mix it all with a couple of tablespoons of mayo (I make my own from egg yolks and olive oil, but you can use light mayo if you want to reduce the calories)

    This easily makes 2 servings. Fills you up with lots of protein, good carbs and lots of fiber...just be sure to measure out the crackers, nuts and the mayo since that is where most of the calories come from...

    My lunch almost every single day. Tastes delicious and miss I it when I have to eat something else:

    4oz protein (usually chicken) or 2 hard boiled eggs
    small salad with toasted pecans/craisins/raw veg AND/OR steamed broccoli/brussel sprouts.
    baby carrots with hummus
    black seedless grapes

    Maybe I need to mix things up a bit, but I enjoy it and get in lots of veggies during this meal.

    I tried a new lunch meal today which blew my mind away and was so good. I put the ingredients I used into Myfitnesspal and got 308 calories, Aubergine Pizza. Rather then using the high calorie dough pizza base, subsitute with a sliced aubergine (eggplants to yo 'muricans). I ate 2 slices which is half an aubergine plus toppings.
    Here is the recipe

    my new fave lunch (I work at home so I can sautee up a lunch) recently is saute 4 cups of mixed veggies with either grilled chicken, tofu or whatever left over meat I have. Saute it in garlic and avocado. Once all grilled up until the veggies are cooked but crisp put in some mustard and mix around. Serve over about 3 cups of baby spinach.....

    sooooo good and full of veggies and low carb high protein depending on the meat/tofu used.

    A favorite, light meal of mine lately is:

    1/2 cup of egg whites
    1 egg
    1 slice of toast of English muffin
    A little Frank's Redhot pepper sauce.

    I scramble the eggs and put them on a piece of toast and put the sauce on top.
    It's so yummy and satisfying. :tongue:
