    I eat salads twice a day, love kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts. They would fall under what is either commonly understood, defined, or marketed as superfoods I think. I just call them greens.

    Grapefruit (1/2)
    Strawberries (8 medium)
    Blackberries (half cup)
    Salmon (8 ounces)
    Peel and eat shrimp (12 to 18)
    Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt
    PB2
    Water

    How I Make Salmon Every Day:
    8 oz salmon filet (I've done cod and trout as well)
    Everglades seasoning (I've done Cajun, blackened, Red Lobster seasoning as well)
    Olive oil spray (0 calories)
    George Foreman grill

    1) spray aluminum foil with olive oil spray
    2) place washed salmon on foil (skin side down if applicable)
    3) cover with salt (if desired) and Everglades Seasoning
    4) spray over fish and seasoning with olive oil spray
    5) fold aluminum foil over fish (open to the bottom) so that the oils and fat can drain out the lip of the grill
    6) preheat grill, cook 10 minutes.

    I'm going to cheat and give you more than one thing ... this is 2 things that I now enjoy adding to my diet .. I struggle to get enough protein and when I first started logging this became VERY apparent to me

    so heres mine

    1 .... cottage cheese (100g) with 1 or 2 "hen" eggs with a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce ... (with one egg its 16g protein with 2 eggs its 22g protein

    2 .... greek yog (fage 100g) topped with walnuts (15g) and honey ..... that comes out to 13 g protein ..


    these both help me on my way to feeling full :) careful with the walnuts thou they are high calories as I discovered when I had to log 50g of them in my diary :O

    Porridge for breakfast and lemon and lime water (to fill the gaps) have been my diet friends

    Hello:) for me it's a hen EGG. It keeps me full longer. Warm boiled egg gives me this feeling of a successful meal whether it's part of breakfast or supper. It's a protein source together with vit B and minerals. What is your one superfood and why?


    CHIA SEEDS AND DRINK A FULL GLASS OF WATER BEFORE MY MEAL

    I put chia seeds and ground flax in my plain Greek yogurt. Sweeten with a tiny bit of stevia or (small!!) amount of honey !! So filling

    Also sounds crazy but I bought peppermint oil and the smell of peppermint curbs my appetite or chew peppermint gum after meal. Trains ur body to know okay I am done with my food and I am done eating until my next meal.

    I also find eggs to be brilliant although I sicken of them really quickly and can only really manage them once or twice a week, even though you can cook them in all different ways. I don't eat much meat either so I really struggle with getting enough protein. Pity I don't have the same problem with carbs!

    I find almonds really helpful for curbing the urge to snack, and apple slices and peanut butter is really good in the evening when I'm most likely to find myself eating mindlessly.

    Also how disappointing to click on a thread due to the 'what helped your diet' premise just to find an endless parade of lectures about superfoods.

    Can't say any one food is a super food since variety is my favorite, but I sure do like avocado.

    I stopped worrying about superfoods, and just
    try to stick with a healthy variety. Eggs are great, but I eat too many if they are already boiled, and don't like wasting time cooking them when I'm the only one who eats them.
    Daves Killer Bread is chock full of vitamins and yumminess, and with some natural peanut butter and 100% fruit spread is filling and stays with you a while.

    I discovered lentils lately and they are very tasty with a little bit of onion, red pepper and olive oil.

    I would say water. When I don't drink it, I feel hungry, I 'm tired and I don't lose weight. It seems to make the difference for me.

    Agreed and I would go for green tea there but not the tea bagged one that I like because it's quick but the leafy one that takes too long to make lol
