snacks : apples with almond butter (my favorite!! homemade almond butter with cinnamon + honey), edamame, greek yogurt with berries0 -
Berries of all kinds, almonds, walnuts, and carrots. I love them! For something more substantial, I tend to go towards soups (like progresso) because I can grab them on the go, they are frequently on sale and pretty low cal depending on the variety (200 cals per can for some).0

Dark Chocolate Squares
Peanut Butter
Pecans
Walnuts
Strawberries
Baby Carrots
Cauliflower
Homemade minestrone Soup0 -
My go to foods that i try and keep in the pantry and house are Seafood, canned chicken for a quick lunch. I also keep almonds for snacking. Atkins bars when I need some extra protein and they feel like I am snacking on something good. I also like to have greek yogurt in the house. There are some yummy ones. The key lime feels like a cheat Frozen vegetables and even frozen fruit because the good stuff isnt in season.0

Breakfast - a smoothie with protein powder & frozen fruit or oatmeal
Lunch - Lean meat (chicken breast) and greens. Sweet potato if it's the weekend and I've put in a hard workout before lunch. Maybe a salad?
Snack- some combination of berries, yogurt, carrot sticks
Dinner - Chicken, pork, salmon, steak -- pan-seared or baked. Side of veggies.
After dinner snack - more fruit, peanut flour mixed w/ water, maybe some casein pudding mixed with water.0 -

For me, it depends on my total planned calorie/fat intake during the day...I just try to balance it out. I'm trying to pre-make my own yogurt parfaits to bring to work, and just bought a large container of 0% Fage...more economical that way! If I'm rushed and just grabbing a standalone snack from the convenience store, it will probably be a 2% Chobani w/ fruit in the bottom (pineapple, mango, or passionfruit!)0 -
Greek yogurt, berries, bananas and eggs all make frequent appearances in my diet. 1 banana +2 eggs with a sprinkle of cinnamon is my go to pancake batter. Delicious and good for you.0

greek yogurt for breakfast, high protein for the number of calories. I buy the big container of plain and mix in my own fresh fruit. The premixed ones are higher in calories from all the sugar and other stuff they add. I can have half a cup of plain yogurt and 1/2 cup of my choice of fruit for less calories and it tastes better and it's more quantity than the prepackaged fruit ones.
Red seedless grapes and baby carrots for snacks.
Unsweetened applesauce and cottage cheese to go with every meal. Cottage cheese is high in protein for the calories. Lots of veggies, especially fresh veggies. Fish a at least once a week, I should do more often, it's really high in protein for the calories.
Some kind of lean meat with lunch and supper.
The more processed foods you can eliminate the better. Fast food is the worst, there are better choices in fast food but not a lot of great choices.
Try not to drink your calories, soda is bad, alcohol is really bad.0 -
Breakfast: two eggs, basted or oatmeal or a smoothie
Lunch: chicken noodle soup or chili or a ham and mayo sandwich on whole wheat
Snacks: nuts, smoothies, Jelly Bellies (but that's more to fix a sweet tooth than a snack), fruit, a small ham and mayo sandwich on whole wheat, cheese0 -
Peanut butter. I put it on everything and in everything. It makes me feel like I'm cheating because it's so rich. It keeps me full because of the protein. I measure it out and log it every time. Hummus. Baby carrots and other fresh veggies. Feta cheese has such a strong taste that a little goes a long way.0
