    Please, NOBODY RESPOND BUMP. It's totally pointless and is unrelated to what I'm saying. If you do not have anything to say about food, GO AWAY.
    what does the BUMP mean any way?? I have seen this and I am confused?

    People say bump to get your post more popular by giving the impression that lots of people are commenting on it. But in reality, there is just 8 pages of the word BUMP and 3 or 4 real comments. It's annoying.

    It's not about the post being popular, it's adding the thread to their 'My Topics' thread, so they can follow it.

    I think it comes from bumping a thread (topic) back up to the top of a list of threads. When a topic is the first one in its respective forum, or on the first page of its forum, more people who are browsing will come across it.

    "Bumping" a thread on MFP also adds it to your own list of "My Topics" so it's easier to return to it later.

    Um... do you know that people respond "bump" because they like your thread and want to be able to get back to it later??

    My go to foods:

    Frozen broccoli, green beans, asparagus, peas, corn, etc. Just plain. I take 2-3 cups for lunch every day. Fills me up for not a lot of calories and I get my fiber.

    Tuna in water. Protein in a can.

    Designer whey natural flavor protein powder - no artificial sweeteners and you can't really taste it.

    Edamame -- a bit higher in calories than the other veggies mentioned, but tons of protein.

    Minute (5 min that is) brown rice. I'm sure the regular stuff is a bit healthier, but this stuff is so much easier and more convenient for me.

    Progresso low-sodium soups. Added to the 2-3 cups of veggies for lunch = quick, yummy and filling.

    Ms. Dash + Cayenne + Black Pepper: to spice up the low-sodium soups and other items

    Ezeckiel (sp?) 4:9 Whole Grain Bread. Organic, low glycemic index, super filling.

    Natural peanut butter. Just crushed up peanuts. That's it. No HFCS, sugar, fillers.

    Polaner all fruit + fiber. Just fruit, no artificial sweeteners or other crap. Goes well with the bread and PB above.

    Frozen fish filets. Cook quickly, good protein source, low cal.

    Tilapia! Try it with low fat feta and lime, or garlic hoisin sauce.

    I didn't find this out till later, but my Fiance uses only salt in corn. Surprisingly, it's really good. Never any butter is used.

    -Egg whites
    -Blueberries and strawberries
    -Oatmeal
    -FlatOut flatbread
    -Laughing Cow light cheese
    -Avocado (I use it instead of mayonnaise on sandwiches and in egg salad, or instead of sour cream in anything Mexican flavored. Really anywhere I need that creamy texture)
    -Tilapia and shrimp

    And I know this isn't food, but I love my meat tenderizer. It makes boneless skinless chicken breast much less tough and dry tasting.

    Make up a low cal jelly ( whatever flavour you prefer) with only 1 cup water. Allow to cool then beat through a tub of low fat cottage cheese. Mix some berries through and pour into a bowl, or into muffin pans - (silicone may be best to get them out easy.) Put in fridge to firm up. :)
    I also find low cal soup is good especially homemade with lots of vegies in it and keep single serves in the freezer.
    Sugar free chocolate/mocha drinks made up with hot water.
    Also smoothies made with skim milk/ low fat yoghurt/berries and a spoonfull of oats is filling. :)

    So if someone doesn't have anything to add, but would like to see what other people add they aren't welcome on the thread?

    "Bumping" is way of adding the topic to your recent forum posts so you can see it in your threads later on, like maybe they dont have time to read the entire post now, but they would LOVE to be able to come back later and check it out more, especially when there are recommendations, recipes, or links. Its actually a compliment if someone finds your thread interesting enough to want to come back to it when they have the time.

    This is a really good topic. Too bad the OP had to go and get bratty about it.

    Emerald Cocoa Roast or Cinnamon Roast almonds. These are the best things ever! 15-20 of them is around 100 calories, has a few grams of protein, only 1 gram of sugar, and 4 carbs.

    Also, Fiber One brownies, warmed up with a scoop of frozen Lite Cool Whip on top!

    Agree on the meat tenderizer for chicken! I mess around with chicken a LOT. One of my favorites: I slow cook a couple chicken breasts in a crock pot with cream of chicken soup (8 hrs on low). The shredded chicken is so moist and versitile--you don't even need the soup afterwards, I usually spoon a little bit onto the shredded chicken, but most of the broth (and thus any extra calories from the cream of chicken soup) goes down the drain.
    i've made chicken tacos (add a little taco seasoning), chicken salad (add celery pieces, light mayo and a little mustard), on spaghetti squash with some sauteed veggies, etc., etc....plus, it saves in the fridge really well, so I'll eat it for several days.
