    hummus <3

    canned tuna/fish - convenient in a pinch

    quinoa quinoa quinoa.

    and this isn't really food but it does help my kick the sugar cravings - light jello - 10 cals for a 1/2 paquet

    i'm constantly trying to up my protein intake. keep those muscles looking sharp. the quinoa helps because i'm kind of meat-phobic.

    What is quinoa? I LOVE hummus, but I tend to eat 8 servings of it with 50 pita chips which is about 400 calories down the hatch which is why I stopped buying it.

    Turkey everything!
    Tortillas
    Fat Free Ranch
    Weight Watchers Icecream Bars :)
    Jello Temptations
    Campells Light Soups
    Healthy Life Bread (it's only 35 cal a slice!)

    I bought the U/S Vanilla Almond Breeze this past weekend and have to say that I like it. I wasn't sure at first, but it works great in place of skim milk, with fewer calories and carbs.
    Definitely the light bread that has 35 calories a slice. I have two of those for breakfast along with a hardboiled egg. Very satisfying and filling.

    In addition to your list...

    *My new favorite find is Flat Out! With these versatile wraps I make pizza, wraps and I have even used them in casseroles! At only 100 calories a piece... they are a must have!
    *This is not a food but I couldn't go without my Mio! I have a hard time drinking plain water so the 0 calorie water enhancer is great for me! Strawberry watermelon is my fav!
    *I love my Veggie/potato straws! When I'm craving french fries or chips I grab these instead plus they are only 130 calories for 38 of them!

    -Trader Joe's whole wheat lavash sheets...they are low cal and big enough to make a reeeally substantial wrap. I find that tortillas are sometimes too small to fit all the stuff I want in them.
    -laughing cow lite wedges
    -skinny cow ice cream sandwiches. YUM.
    -old fashioned rolled oats. I like to make mine with a few spoonfuls of pumpkin and cinnamon or almond butter
    -poached eggs are my favorite...I put them over a salad or sautéed veggies all the time
    -Trader Joe's egg white salad is a lifesaver in lunchtime wraps
    -kale chips, homemade. Yummy when you're craving that salty, crunchy snack! I also sneak kale into soup and chili all the time...it's a super food, so it's a good "filler".

    Oh I LOVE Almond milk the 35 Calorie version is great for cooking and baking because it still has a little bit of fat it it and holds up great where FF milk would fall flat..For drinking I need the 60 Calorie kind though!

    I Totally agree with the laughing cow wedges! Have you ever made a "cordon blue" chicken with them? Spread it between pounded uot chicken breast and add a little deli turkey, roll, and bake.. it rocks!

    Popcorn popcorn popcorn!

    carrots and guacamole!

    Frozen grapes..so cool and refreshing!

    Hard boiled Egg

    100-120 calories
    Trader Joe Fruit Frenzy Bar (they rock)
    Lil drumstick Ice Cream cone
    Kozy Shack rice pudding snack
    Smart Pop 100 calorie bag

    200 calories
    14 crackers and 2 TBS Trader Joe garlic hummus
    fajita wrap with turkey and slice of light cheese

    Oatmeal
    Kefir
    Whole wheat pasta
    Ground turkey (99%)


    How did I not know about Kefir? This morning for breakfast, I had plain oatmeal with some cinnamon, a bit of brown sugar, and half a cup of low-fat, cappuccino-flavored kefir. IT WAS AMAZING.

    I love to spread the Laughing Cow original cheese on sliced apples. The flavors combine in an awesome way!
