    almond butter with kashi honey sesame crackers

    pita chips with hummus

    avacado with triscuits

    pop chips

    Kashi granola bars

    almond milk (I don't like the unsweetened so I suck up the extra 20 calories and have the sweetened) and cereal

    almond milk and chai tea (boosts my calories at the end of the day, and I love me a latte)

    fake crab meat and salad with cucumber and dill dressing

    quinoa (the roasted garlic one is amazing)

    couscous (so much better than white rice)

    brown rice (actually tastes better than white)

    steamed veggies (never thought to steam them before, but then my fiance showed me how, and now that's how I prefer my veggies)

    microwaved eggs (so simple! fiance taught me that too)

    stuffed chicken (with spinach and goat cheese, with garlic and herb no-salt spices...mmmmm....)

    ~ I truly learned how to cook since being on this ride, and I'm glad I have...

    I grew up in Southern California, so I am pretty good with an avocado, but I just find it a hassle...buying them when they're not ripe (if there are no ripe ones in the store) and waiting till they're ready...opening them up to find oops, not quite ripe yet...sometimes the pit is stuck and I'm jabbing at it with my knife....leftovers...having a little pouch perfectly portioned is nice! I prefer whole, unprocessed foods but sometimes we need convenience.

    Re. Peanut butter, have you tried almond butter? it's a healthy fat. make sure you get one without added sugar. For my kids, who still love that peanut taste, I buy the Costco organic PB, which has no added sugar, and mix it half & half with almond butter. I like to think it's healthier. I think my almond butter is only 170 calories for 2 tbsp.

    re. almonds - they are so tasty if you just roast them for a few minutes with whatever spices you choose! Pumpkin pie spice is great, or try adding cardamom, makes them taste like a chai latte!

    Health Starts Here salad dressings from Whole Foods. They are oil-free and taste GOOD. I got the ginger-carrot dressing and fig-balsamic dressing. They are only like 30-40 calories for TWO tablespoons. There are other flavors I haven't tried yet too.

    Laughing Cow Light Cheese Wedges :) with reduced fat wheat thins LOVE LOVE LOVE

    With you on this one! Just recently bought some of these to make some alfredo (with a measured portion of pasta of course) and they really ramp up the flavor and creaminess while keeping the calories under control....

    fage 0%.. most amazing yummy tasting yogurt ever. I have mine with a little honey, walnuts and fresh fruit. gosh, so good!!

    Fage 0% is my new best friend. I was a sour cream addict, and I have replaced sour cream with Fage. I mix a big container of Fage with a package of Hidden Valley dip mix, and it is so good with carrots, green peppers, cukes, etc. I can't even tell the difference. I think when my folks come out to visit, I am going to try to fool my dad with it. :wink:

    I had a lovely wholemeal pasta with Philadelphia Sweet chilli cream cheese and crab the other day - was great! Low cal soft cheese is lovely with pasta.

    I LOVE peanut butter, but I don't love all the calories/fat. I literally eat it everyday, mostly out of the jar with a spoon and just two tablespoons=190 calories! I found Better N Peanut Butter and it is soooooo good and has half the calories and half the fat!!! I recommend it to all peanut butter lovers like me!

    i wish they sold this in Australia! i love peanut butter but i dont buy because i know i'll eat the whole jar!

    There are some great things mentioned! Not sure I'm posting any new ones. :love:

    Laughing Cow lite - original flavor is my fave.

    Silk light chocolate soy milk. This stuff is so gooooood, especially with cheerios for a snack.

    Maple Grove Farms dressings - they're all yummy, but my favorite is raspberry balsamic.

    Great value frozen mixed fruit. - strawberries, mango, peach slices, and pineapple chunks.

    Dannon greek yogurt - it's like dessert to me.

    Fiber Plus bars - chocolate caramel tastes just like girl scout semoas!
