    Lots of things (but I've never had much of a sweet tooth). Roasted brussel sprouts and cauliflower. Blackened catfish. Green beans and mushrooms sauted in garlic and olive oil. Shrimp and broccoli stir fry with brown rice. Cajun red beans and rice.

    When I'm eating my comfort foods (all unhealthy of course), I feel good while I'm eating it, but after I always feel bloated and lathargic. When I eat my fave healthy foods (grapes, sushi, wheat pasta) I always feel so much lighter, happier, and more energetic. I try to save the comfort foods for special occasions/holidays and eat as much of the healthy stuff as I can every other day of the year.

    Sushi, seaweed salad, and meso soup.....I love it and don't feel too guilty while eating it.

    I LOVE SUSHI!!! Even though some rolls can be high in calories, they are packed with protien and antioxidants. Seaweed is actually considered a "super food" because of the overwhelming amount of antioxidants and cancer fighting properties found in them! Sushi, sushi, sushi <333333

    My salad:

    Mixed baby greens (half the bag typically)
    5oz of chicken
    Half a cup of mixed veggies (I get the veggie medley at Trader Joe's - a bunch of chopped up veggies including green peppers, carrots, celery, and cabbage)
    1/2 an avocado
    3 strawberries or so
    hard boiled egg (sometimes)
    a little balsamic vinegar

    Mmmmmm. I LOVE it!
    Apples and a bit of almond butter is probably my favorite snack :)
