    Honestly, I do appreciate all the info I can get because I too have quite an extensive must have list as well. I didn't include my PB2, hot green tea, precooked grilled chicken strips, greek yogurt, and canned tuna! Oh, did I mention woven reduced fat wheat crackers and rice cakes, or more recently that I have added coconut oil in my diet? All these staples with a costly price tag when you think about it, but the trade off is worth it because I have managed to drop 3 sizes in the last 6 months(without exersize I might add).

    I just planted some pumpkin in my garden today. Can't wait for pumpkin pies, pumpkin pancakes, and all kinds of goodies.

    1. Salsa - This has been one of my saving graces in replacing toppings and condiments. For tacos and fajitas, it replaces cheese and sour cream. For snacks, I mix with half an avocado to eat with tostitos for a quick and easy bump in healthy fats. I also put a bit on my burgers and chicken to replace high calorie condiments.

    2. Prepackaged salads - This is purely for convenience. The preportioned, single serving Caeser and Cobb salad are my favorites that I can grab and go. I never have to worry about measuring or taking time to cut lettuce and it's great for a quick lunch.

    3. 100 Calorie popcorn packs - Again, quick and easy snack with no measuring or trying to figure calories. Plus, I LOVE popcorn!

    I love anything that's single serving and prepackaged. It's a bit more expensive but it makes calorie counting simple for me with no prepping, measuring or weighing. You can get soup, snacks, fruits, veggies and even meats. Quick and simple is how I stick with it.
