    Oh and conversely I realized that I hate chicken. I've eaten it periodically most of my life but attempting to make it a major player in my diet taught me really fast - I. Hate. Chicken.

    Thank you for this! Haha the more I read about chicken the more I dislike it, too. Although I DO like rotisserie chicken every once in a while...

    I like chicken as an INGREDIENT - chicken /white chili, chicken and dumplings, chicken in soup - fine. A PIECE OF CHICKEN? Nope, I'm out. I never noticed before I tried to make it a thing for protein and low cals but just. No.

    Hah you would think I am so strange then. I LOVE chicken and don't really like any other types of meat besides sandwich or ground turkey. I could eat a huge plain grilled chicken breast every day and crave it. It also surprised me how much I could eat for the calories and how filling and satisfying it is.

    GRILLED chicken I love... but baked in the oven, hard pass.

    Grilled anything for that matter is great....

    Morning Star brand Chik'n Nuggets. They are vegan and yet, when baked, have this weirdly addicting flavor and crispiness that my highschool cafeterias real-chicken meat nuggets had. 😄😄 It's a pleasure food for me, because it is plant based and still has a sort of induldgent flavor profile I feel like it's a win-win. I'd like to note that I am not fully vegan, but I do eat a lot of vegan and vegetarian meals so I can reduce my animal meat consumption. The Morning Star nuggets do have a good amount of fat, but I'd expect that from any nugget, vegan or not. In general, I recommend Morning Star brands vegan meal selections!

    Also, lean ground turkey meat for tacos, instead of beef. I dont digest beef well, and I have gotten so used to the taste of tacos using turkey meat, I can't tell the difference anymore. I also use ground turkey for chili, burgers, and even meat balls.

    Oh. Oatmeal.

    i remembered it has this terrible trial of warm wallpaper paste when I was a kid, but now? I eat the protein version, the calories aren't at all bad, it is not an awful texture, it is SUPER filling and it tastes good.

    something that surprised me (not in a good way) is that ONE cashew has about 12 calories. :/
