    oatmeal mixed with protein powder (especially chocolate flavored or cookies and cream powder. yum!)
    green pepper with a bit of light ranch
    boiled egg
    canned tuna mixed with ranch/relish (on any wheat cracker or bread)

    Go for High Protein First it will fill you up and provide good nutrition! Then "Free" Veggies that are high in Nutrients, then Fruits
    Don't go for processed sugars or processed carbs. Use natural sugars and carb sources to get you through the day.
    Cottage cheese
    Almonds
    Low Fat Cheese Sticks
    Greek Yogurt
    Low-fat Regular Yogurt (add some fat free granola)
    Healthy Choice Frozen Greek Yogurt
    Think Thin Mini Bars
    A slice or two of deli turkey chicken or ham
    Two ounces of low fat cheese
    A hard boiled egg
    Kale, Spinach
    Avacado (in moderation)
    Green, Red, and Yellow Bell Pepper Slices
    Broccoli Florets
    Grape or Cherry Tomatoes
    Blueberries, raspberries, Blackberries
    Raisins/Craisins, Mixed Dried Fruits
    Banana and Apple Chips
    Pita Chips
    Fruit Leather
    Apple Wedges

    I have lost weight very gradually and it has been a very long and grueling 4 year process. I started at 278 pounds 4 years ago. By sticking with a 1200 calorie lowglycemic diet I have lost 98 lbs and I am sitting at 181 today. I am only 5' 1" tall. I just bought size 16 pants a few weeks ago. I started in size 28! Portion size has been key. I haven' had processed sugar (not even at birthdays in the cake and icing) in 3 years! However being in a size 16 and feeling HEALTHY is more than worth it!!!

    1) 1/2 avocado... love them! Put pepper on them or hot sauce or salsa.
    2) Leftover sides: for snacks like cucumber-tomato with basil and balsamic vinegar, also can add avocado to that.
    3) quick protein shake with mix, 1/2 froze banana, pb, unsweetened almond milk. (If you freeze it the night before, then you can bring to work with you and put it in the fridge- it thaws to the right temp by midday)

    I will admit that simple carbs never satisfy me. I always need a carb and protein or I'll keep snacking.
