    Costco is a dangerous place if you like convenience food. I only go there when I'm in a frugal mood on a full stomach.

    If you like deviled eggs have you tried making an egg salad sandwich (same ingredients just chopped up)? There are a few changes you could make to really reduce calories. Using low cal mayo or plain greek yogurt instead of regular mayo. Leaving out some egg yolks.

    I have been doing hard boiled eggs as a snack but deviled eggs...I LOVE deviled eggs though I always mess them up. Going to have to give those another try. Salads have been tried in all shapes and sizes but I can't make myself eat them. A few people have mentioned the ol rotisserie chicken route so I have to give that a look. Thought about a Costco membership a while back but I couldn't see using it enough to justify the cost. Perhaps I should take another look. As for my "no-no" list I think the problems came when I over ate those things. Like I'd have a five pound bag of carrots or apples and I'd just mindlessly eat them at my desk until they were gone...If I just break them down into zip lock bags and take only a few servings that would probably solve that.

    the whole bag will do that to anyone :) Another good Idea I just thought of is the crock pot! If you have not used one I highly suggest it. I will throw in 2lbs of pork tenderloin and some low sugar pulled pork mix and have a healthy alternative to pulled pork for a week at a clip. You can also make super easy stuff with one. I make a healthy steak chili too that I can have last for about 2 weeks if I freeze half the batch. If you use stew meat it comes out so much better than ground beef in chili.

    If you ever do have an hour or so you can take 3 chicken breasts, a thing of corn and bean chili (called cowboy caviar at trader joe's) and some cheddar cheese and have 6 servings of spicy chicken. I put it all in 1 pan with a chopped up sweet potato. 400 degrees for under an hour and dinner + lunch and maybe dinner for a day or two is done.

    Costco is great for their meat department. If I get the chance to go there I go ahead and buy a big cut of meat and re-portion it out.
