    My staples:

    Raw spinach as a bed for everything (I use it as my leafy greens in salad, to fill in wraps, on sandwiches, in soups and stews... everything)
    Apple
    Oranges
    Boneless skinless chicken breast
    Avocado (I whip it up with some lemon juice and salt and spread it on everything)
    Sparkling flavored water
    Coffee with flavored creamer (this is my one true naughty thing... I must have creamer)
    Roma tomatoes (with nearly every meal)
    Black olives
    Green olives
    Kalamata olives
    Feta cheese (I sprinkle it on a lot of stuff)
    Eggs
    Kale
    Turkey deli meat
    Lavash wraps
    String cheese

    I pretty much stick to those things and I throw in new things or different things every so often. When I'm at work, I have to eat what we cook so that's when I get some different choices (lean ground beef, chicken salad, etc.)

    I eat protein at every meal and a healthy fat at every meal. Keeps me full.
    Try different veggies. You might be surprised.

    Recently, we decided we wanted to make a meal that was just jam packed with nutrition and very low on fats and carbs. We ended up shredding cooked chicken breast and then putting it in the crockpot with a couple large cans of diced tomatoes (juice and all). Then we added chopped up kale, spinach, fresh tomatoes, and white beans. We seasoned it to taste and it made a huge batch of the most delicious soup/stew ever! It was so so good and each portion left us feeling full and satisfied.

    I recommend the crockpot when all else fails... it will meld the good flavors with the veggies you're unsure about... you can add garlic, onion, whatever flavors float your boat! So yummy!

    Also, I love making a homemade pico de gallo with is extremely low cal and all that. It's just chopped up tomato, onion, green pepper and jalapenos and I put a little garlic in it and a lot of lime juice, then salt to taste. It's so delicious I could eat it with a spoon. It's even better the next day. I think it would be a healthier choice than jarred salsa =) I even have an awesome salsa recipe that's to die for...mostly fresh things as well except for some diced tomatoes.
