    Greek Yogurt, flavor your chicken recipes with lawyers marinates: i make my own tereyaki chicken with that, bbq, etc... also try to mix chicken pieces with some black beans or beans.. changes the texture too.. .string cheese (although be caeful as cheese is high in fat), as always it's good to eat veggies and fruit.

    I would be careful with the deli meats, they contain alot of hidden sodium... try to eat things as close to nature as possible, fresh/frozen fruits and veggies, lean meats, etc. check out some of your friends' food logs for ideas of things to try, especially those who are doing well :)

    For me, i have found it easiest to limit my choices for breakfast and lunch, and use dinner to change things up. Seems to work for me.

    good luck to you

    Are you up for trying things like Garden burgers. I like them with some cheese or salsa on them.

    Other things:
    Veggies and Hummus
    Beans
    Yogurt with granola or fruit slices

    If you avoid the white break and go with something 100% whoole wheat and all natural it should be much better. The problem with white flour is that it breaks down too quickly and spikes you blood sugar. Not to mention that it's normally "bleached" with Bromine, which causes a whole different type of issue with you metabolism.

    Garden burgers are a type of veggie burgers that used veggies backed with brown rice. I find them very yummy.
