    cuties, almonds, sugar snap peas, bananas, apples, beans, carrots, pears, and i eat a lot of deli style meats, so i get more protein. i'm always low in that department.

    I need ideas for more calcium and iron. i read that calcium transports more fat out of the body, and i don't like milk and i can't too much more cheese. Any good supplements?

    for snacking, i keep roasted whole natural almonds around. it curbs my hunger just enough to last me till my next full meal. I also keep fig newtons and 90 cal. cereal bars nearby, just in case i want to change it up.
