    Fruits and Veggies.
    Edy's Coconut Waters With Pineapple frozen bars. (60 calories)
    Bacon & Jalapeno Pizza in moderation, so I don't feel deprived and stuff my guts with other delights.

    Sugar free jello made with cut up fresh fruit and non fat whipped cream on top for a delicious dessert :) I used to be a huge ice cream fanatic, so this is a pretty big change :)

    1. eggs
    2. peanut butter
    3. Brown rice (we cook a lot of chinese food and switching to brown rice added extra fiber)

    I forgot to add a couple of more foods that I have every week:

    4. Better'N Peanutbutter (half the calories of regular peanut butter) I usually put it on a piece of 40 calorie Nature's Own Bread for breakfast.
    5. Trader Joe's Sushi - I buy a back and have one piece at a time when I'm feeling really hungry. The rice really seems to sooth my stomach and is only about 40 calories per piece.

    Eggs and whole grain English muffins sometimes made into a breakfast sandwich with a little turkey and Swiss cheese.

    I also curb my pizza cravings by making a personal pizza on a tortilla.

    Dark chocolate chips with peppermint tea. Mmmm... So much comfort in an 80 calorie snack.

    As long as what I'm eating doesn't read as diet food, I'm happy. So key has been heavy whipping cream, butter, breadings, and corn dogs. I had a similar thing happen the last time I decided it was time to offload another bunch of weight, where portioned tasty rubbish made it work for me.

    I am on a roasted/baked vegetable kick so any vegetables are big for me right now

    breakfast is usually a carrot/egg with pumpkin pie spice mix in the cast iron pan - so it comes out kind of like a pancake

    Lunch/Dinner included roasted broccoli/eggplant/brussel sprouts/radishes/tomatoes with some rosemary garlic seasoning baked at 400 for 30 minutes

    for salads I generally use the Walden farms no calorie/no sugar salad dressings, which I occasionally use to marinate meats with as well - at least the vinagrette ones

    Regular baked white potatoes. Extremely satiating, nutrient dense, and tasty. I usually have 2-3 a week cutting, and probably one close to every day bulking.

    When I'm craving salty and sweet, I get a 100 calorie pack of Bachmann Pretzel sticks and alternate it with bites of 6
    Mariani California pitted dates (120 cal). It's not a cheap snack caloriewise, but I find it highly satisfying.

    Pace Picante Sauce or fresh pico de gallo. Love it on meats, eggs or just wrapped in a tortilla by itself. Spicy foods keep my sweet tooth at bay.

    I try to have a green smoothie a few times a week. They make me feel great!

    2 cups raw kale leaves (remove from stem)
    2 cups raw or frozen spinach
    1 1/2 cups Simply Apple Juice
    1/2 cup frozen mango
    1/2 peeled lemon

    Run through blender on smoothie setting once, then add about 1 cup of ice and run through again. This makes enough for 2 servings @ 137 calories each.
