I'm bored with many of the foods I consider staples in my dieting journey and looking to spruce up the cupboards with some new things. What are some of the healthy foods that fill you up and taste good that you can't live without?

    Wasa Crisp n' Light 7 Grain crackers: These crackers are delicious and only 20 calories each. They have a lot of surface area so you can pile them up with whatever you want. I like to spread smashed avocado on top for a very filling snack.

    I like to keep edamame in the freezer. It's a quick protein-ful snack, and having to get the beans out of the pods slows me down enough to feel full when I'm done. LOL

    Fage 0% Greek Yogurt. I love this stuff! It's the best thing I discovered since changing my diet.

    korean seaweed (i guess japanese seaweed too) comes in packs of 10 sheets for 20 calories
    i eat them and drink sparkling water since they are on the salty side - they go well into clear
    broth soups too

    canned sardine in oil (the ones in water don't taste half as good and they are not that much
    less in calories) with lots of raw onions and tabasco with wasa crackers - this is a meal.

    for sweet stuff i buy those 100 calorie pack yogurt covered pretzels or trader joe's triple berry o's
    3/4 cup for 120 calories and for a snack, it's usually too much

    Veggies and sour cream or hummus
    Apple with peanut butter and cinnamon spinkles
    Cinch protein powder. I use it just with plain shakes, with plain yogurt and in smoothies.

    I make spiced nuts with my favorite seasonings and nuts, walnuts, pecans and peanuts and parcel them out in tablespoons into ramekins. Satisfies my savory cravings!

    Instant organic oatmeal. Uncle Sam cereal. Chocolate peanut butter by Peanut Butter & Co. Organic rice cakes. Roasted veggies. Grains...any whole grain cooked at home.

    The food bar at Whole Foods.

    Smoked salmon (smoked in the store).

    KIND bars.

    Cans of organic beans and also tomatoes. Frozen organic fruits and veggies--great for smoothies.

    These are not diet foods to me, they are just things I always have on hand.

    I have to have crunch in my diet life, so I can't live without my Pirate's Booty. 140 cals for 1oz. Low sodium too. I also like roasted chick peas to replace popcorn.

    Speaking of, I couldn't live without my cauliflower. It replaces mashed potatoes, rice, and, I recently discovered, pizza dough.

    My last staple would be my Swai fish. Not for everyone. I love it because it has no fishy flavor, so I can add any one of my 10 favorite Urban Accents with no salt, MSG, or sugar and get a different flavor every night. Keeps things interesting. Well, for me at least.

    I am loving the Atkins Advantage products, the shakes keep me so full. I pair that with some chicken or black forest ham deli meat (2-4 slices) in the morning and I stay VERY full.... also their peanut butter cups and chocolate coconut bars are AWESOME!!!!!!!

    The #1 "diet" food I can't live w/o are Fiber One 90 Calorie Brownies! They always get me through that chocolate craving. I've also just discovered hummus & I really love the roasted red pepper hummus w/ pretzels - Sabra makes a little snack pack type thing that I love & is very filling for 250 calories. I also eat dinner at Subway a lot because I love all the veggies!

    Oh yeah, natural peanut butter. I'd never had the natural kind before & it's really good, especially Smucker's w/ honey.
