    Homemade baked beans. My husband makes them with garlic - no sugar.

    Second on the egg whites... TONS of protein, fewer calories, less fat! Bump it up with some veges (I personally love spinach), some kind of fat (cheese, even if just a little), and eat with a lightly dressed salad on the side.

    Egg whites are a bit expensive but well worth the cost.

    tuna and cottage cheese on whatever bread or flats that you like.
    add some cheddar if you want.

    That sounds tasty! Do you have a recipe, or at least a little info to get me started? I love garlic, so I can see how some roasted garlic would replace the sugar.

    Baked beans are going to be higher in carbs than protein, sugar or not. Just so that the OP is aware.

    agreed. I know they are good for you but that is the exact reason why I steer away from them
