Top 10 Foods you have in the house at all times

karenzachary

Snap Pea Crisps
Nuts: almonds or South Beach NUTrition mix
Reduced Fat String Cheese
Sea Salt Somersaults: if you haven't had these, try them! And these are really snack friendly because you can count them out and track them easily...need 100 calories? 70? Easy.
Pita Crisps: garlic flavor
Yogurt Drinks
Canned or jarred fruit: because you just can't get to the grocery store every few days!
Trader Joes Corn and Red Pepper Soup
Trader Joes Chicken Tikka Masala
Kashi Granola Bars: i like the honey almond flax one

Great question! Thanks!

I keep eggs, light rye bread, yogurt, berries such as blackberries and blue berries, apples, bananas, peanut butter, old fashioned oats, almonds and pecans, raisins, celery, peppers, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, tuna fish, pretzels, and popcorn. I try to plan my meals and snacks in advance each morning so I have a rough idea of what my calorie and food intake will be. I find if I think about it, put it in my lunch box for work, then I stick to healthy eating better than if I'm eating on the run. JenB

I don't really eat too much processed food or any diet/sugar free foods while dieting.

My staple meal is mexican. So, I keep beans (black or ff refried), tortillas (corn or high-fiber whole wheat flour), lettuce, light sour cream, eggs, and chicken. With this I make a variety of things: chicken tostadas, bean burritos, huevos rancheros, soft chicken tacos, etc.

I also usually have spinach or broccoli on hand, as a side.
