Here's a link to an allrecipes recipe for Kale chips..... http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-kale-chips/ (I didn't use parchment paper but mine could have used less oil but maybe I didn't use enough Kale??? Oh and just a tip.... they will soak up salt like crazy so if you salt, salt lightly... :-)

but raw kale is soooooo delish!

I'm obsessed with oatmeal. It is odd. I hated it as a child, but I love it now. It is healthy, has antioxidants, protein, its filling, relatively low calorie, blah blah blah, I could go on forever.

Oatmeal, so filling and only 150 calories for 1 serving. I add some cinnamon and a teaspoon of peanut butter to mine. Yumm!!!

If by "diet food" you mean low-cal/reduced fat then "none".

I like real food and I am generally obsessed with all food in all its deliciousness.

Yep, same

Yumnuts - toasted coconut (I purchase them off Amazon and don't know where else carries them) AND peeled snacks - mango (they carry them at Starbucks or on Amazon)! Both are soooo yummy, but I usually go to yumnuts when I need to fill up calories and the peeled snacks are just my everyday snack

And if you have calories to spare, add half a mashed banana or half a chopped apple as well - it adds natural sweetness, so there is no need for sugar or sweeteners.

Yuck! I hate better n peanut butter! It tastes so fake! I can't believe no one here has said PB2 or even better chocolate PB2!!! Now that stuff is the best! 45 cals for 2 tablespoons and soooo good!!!

That is too bad you think it tastes fake since it has nothing fake in it. To each his own. I have had PB2 in the past and don't remember much about it that left an impression either way.

I just didn't like the texture of better n peanut butter. It was a bit more sticky than thick and creamy to me. But if it works for you then cool!

LOL, you are right it is sticky! I have sworn at many a knife that I didn't rinse off right away LOL!

Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, Peach Cobbler flavor

I'm so glad other people know about that flavor! That is my all-time favorite When I lived in Connecticut, I could rarely find that flavor. But when I moved to Ohio last month, I keeled over when I saw that practically every grocery store carries it. It's like stumbling upon the Bovine Treat Holy Land! ^_^

How the heck is this a diet food???

I guess it depends on your definition of a diet... it doesn't have to mean it's calorie free, but that you do have to watch the portion size and count the cals.

for a HALF A CUP (do you know how small that is?) it's 220 cals, 11 grams of fat, and 26 grams of sugar. it's a once in awhile treat, not part of a diet.

False, if you have room in your daily calorie allotment, it CAN be an everyday thing. Some of the people on here eat B&J every day and still look fantastic.

oatmeal with raspberries

I guess Sea Snax/dried seaweed.
It is very low calorie, but has NO nutritional value, and is EXPENSIVE!
I try not to buy it often.
But it's so tasty....!

Dr McDougle's Big Bowl Hot and Sour Organic Ramen.

With a little bit of Tamari in it.

Freaking delicious. Filling enough for a meal, @ 170 calories can be a snack!

I have not, but I have tried the black bean (super filling) and the miso. Very good stuff.

I have two things I love and have one or the other almost every day. I would eat them even if I wasn't trying to lose weight because they are tasty, low cal, low fat and not frankenfood (meaning no preservatives, additives, or HFCS)

Better'n Peanut Butter - less fat than regular PB, less calories than regular PB and it tastes wonderful. - 2T is 100 calories and 2.5g of fat. Much better than PB which is 185 calorie and 16g of fat.

Vita-Top Muffins - love these things! I either have them for breakfast or dessert in the evenings. 100 calories, 1 to 1.5g of fat depending on what kind I have.

Yuck! I hate better n peanut butter! It tastes so fake! I can't believe no one here has said PB2 or even better chocolate PB2!!! Now that stuff is the best! 45 cals for 2 tablespoons and soooo good!!!

What's PB2?

Basically powdered peanut butter and you add a tablespoon of water to it, mix it and it tastes so good. I was skeptical at first but when I tried it, I was hooked, especially the chocolate pb2! The ingredients are roasted peanuts sugar and salt with no added preservatives. Only thing is that it's super hard to find so go to the website to see which stores sell it or buy it online. It's so worth it!

Thanks! I'll have to get some and try it! :-)

I love oatmeal with a teaspoon of peanut butter, 1/2 of a banana, and a small portion of chopped walnuts for crunch. SOOO Yummy!
