Oh how I wish we had access to american supermarkets, there are so many amazing products we can't get here (like almond milk..never seen it in a supermarket). So, what are your UK favourites? Mine:
Linda McCartney sausages-100 for one
Discovery wholemeal wraps-106 cals for one
Laughing cow extra light-20 cal per peice

sugar free jelly.
a whole pint is less than 50 cals (and thats a LOT of jelly)0 -
When I get there in 17 days time I'll let you know! I'll be a mean, lean, healthy cooking machine!
And I'll probably have to spend a bit more and go to M&S, since I'm sensing they'll have more of an option there...0 -
m&s actually has less branded products than places like tesco or sainsbury-plus they are much more expensive. But their own brand food is delicious!0

Nairn cheese oatcakes - about 35 cals and v cheesy - I have one mid afternoon sometimes - slow burn keeps me away from the biscuit tin.
activia fat free yogs 70 cals0 -
Morrisons eat smart range. Particularly the fromage frais in place of creme fraiche/sour cream - makes a massive difference when I do mexican style food!
Otherwise I try to stock up on plenty of veg - again, Morrisons is low cost for that. I'd agree that M&S is pricey, nice but expensive for what it is.0 -
just found ox cheek in my local Tesco 26 cal per ounce but so versatile. Braised it can be added to veg for a meaty broth or shredded over a salad.0

Hartleys 10 Calorie Jelly
Humous and a wholemeal pitta
liver and onions
Basa fillets
Holland and Barrett sell Almond milk but it's not cheap! About £2.50 a carton if I remember correctly.0 -

Sorry, but I am so glad I don'l live on the other side of the Pond. Here I can eat wholesome foods, with no added nasties.
I do not buy so-called diet foods. I might choose a reduced-fat dairy option now and again, but everything else I eat is just regular, natural, wholesome foods: meat, veg, fruit, fish, be it frozen or fresh.
My only "cheats" are microwave rice (because neither of us can cook dried-rice for toffee :laugh:), breaded fish and potato croquettes, coleslaw, mayo, preserves, canned/cartoned goods (beans, soups, chopped tomatoes, fruit, tuna, etc.) and of course herbs and spices, stock cubes, and such like.
I eat exactly as I did before, only in smaller, more realistic portions, rather than the huge platefuls/bowlfuls as I used to.
You don't have to diet to go on a diet :bigsmile:0 -
corn cakes (like rice cakes but made out of corn) - 16 cals
alpro soya yoghurt - 46 cals for 100g!! woohoo calorie bargain!
pink and whites - 50 cals
options hot choc - under 40 cals and a multitude of yummy flavours
I'll think of more and come back0 -
My favourite ideal lunch is - 3 asda crisp breads (16 cal each) with 30g of philidelphia light garlic and herbs (47 cal) and cucumber (15 cal ish). With weight watchers soup ( 50 cal) and bag of low cal crisps (skips, quavers at 82-88 cal). About 300 cals total, depending on which crisps and soup. very filling. Less if I don't have crisps.
Love tesco's light choices ready meals and some morrisons ones. Never done a shop at M&S yet.
Missing cadburys choc though mmmm. Though I've bought an advent calender for me to treat myself once a day.
Weight watchers food is nice and I love the muller light yoghurts. Less than 100 cals.0 -
Bravo kyle4jem! Someone on here who is being realistic for once. As soon as you say "diet" that usually equates to "temporary" except for the minority. I eat what ever I want, including takeaway meals and pizzas, but I am realistic and eat sensibly and in smaller portions AND I do 30 minutes of intense exercise every day. I aim to lose 1lb a week and so far I have lost more than this.0

I'm at uni in Swansea and we have a large indoor market, I generally get all my fruit and veg cut price in there. Most of the vegetables are locally grown - obviously the bananas are not though haha0

Ahhhh that makes sense then
I miss the market from when i was at uni - we don't have one in Carlisle *grumble*
