    It sounds terrible but... Real bacon bits. 1 tbsp is 30. Added to green beans, eggs, salad... Gives you the feeling of being naughty without the guilt because sometimes the only thing that makes a bad day better is instant bacon.

    My got-to-haves:
    Bird's Eye Oriental Stir Fry veggies in the big five pound bag (sugar snap peas, red peppers, broccoli, baby corn, water chestnuts, etc.) I eat this almost every night. A little olive oil and soy sauce, minced garlic and ginger, crushed red pepper, and chili powder -- its to die for, and its all healthy!(:
    0% plain Chobani or Fage greek yogurt. I only buy these brands because they have live active cultures and more protein than other brands.
    Fresh or frozen blueberries and raspberries to add to the yogurt for a quick dessert or snack, or to put in banana ice cream
    Ground or whole flaxseed -- you can put it on/over/in basically anything to add extra flavor, fiber, and a little protein
    Bananas for banana ice cream: frozen bananas blended with add-ins like cocoa powder and peanut butter or berries, or ice cream sandwiches: bananas pureed with peanut butter, cocoa powder, and flaxseed, spread between home-made graham crackers, and frozen
    All natural peanut butter
    Whole wheat flour
    Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    EGGS. Lots of eggs. You can scramble them, mix them with bananas to make banana pancakes, hardboil them and eat them plain or chopped in salads... I go through about a dozen or two a week.
    Bountiful basket with occasional add-ons... this week was four pounds of strawberries! <3
    Assorted fruits and veggies -- whatever looks good or is on sale
    LOTS of salad greens. I think I came home with two heads of romaine and two or three bags of pre-mixed greens this last
    week.
    Newman's Own oil and vinegar dressing
    Garlic and ginger -- I use about a clove of garlic a day, plus the occasional chunk of ginger in a stir-fry or tea.


    This is how I lost 50lbs before. I just jumped back on the bandwagon, but after eating like this for two days (with a brownie yesterday and a cinnamon roll today) my severe digestive issues have all but cleared up and I can already see a change in the mirror. Plus I used to sleep up to twelve hours a day, and now I have so much energy that I can only sleep about eight hours, and it doesn't take me forever to wake up. It's crazy what a difference a few days can make!

    Carrots and yogurt dressing
    Fruit
    Salmon fillets
    Chicken breast
    Cheese
    Turkey sausage and/or bacon

    The main part of my journey in a grocery store is fruits/veggies. Fruits I usually switch up every time, except for bananas. But veggies I usually always get are: Tomatoes, Asparagus, Lettuce/salad mixes, bell peppers, cucumbers, green beans, mushrooms, black olives, potatoes, onions, banana peppers.... Umm other stuff is quinoa, burrito shells, soups, tofu, rice noodles.. I can't remember everything.. Lol.. But that's a pretty good run down.

    Just a note to those using turkey sausage and chicken sausage. I read a research article recently that found that those often have a high level of skin and by-products that are higher calorie and fattier than the labels claim. Plus the though of eating the skin and who knows what by products was a total turn-off.
