What foods help you stay on track?

Protien bars, particularly Luna, Odwalla or Lara bars. The Odwalla ones are particularly filling, and having one between lunch and dinner seriously helps my chances of not blowing it big time between meals.0

Pomegranet. it takes a long time to pick thru all those seeds.0
-
Bell peppers and English cucumbers help me when I want snacks.0
-
baby spinach salad mix - i put that on everything!0

Oh Pomegranates are a good one!0

Kroger no sugar added fruit bars. They satisfy my sweet tooth and late night cravings for only 25 calories, 6 carbs and 1 gram of sugar.0

High fiber foods.
Foods with reasonable amounts of protein.
Enjoy and Good Luck!0 -
Where do you buy Icelandic yogurt?? All of these were great ideas!
Greek yogurt mixed with bran cereal
A little peanut butter on whole grain bread0 -
Edy's fruit bars, 45 calories each, and whole grapefruit. I like peeling and sectioning a bunch at a time, eating tiny nibbles, then use the bowl full of prepared fruit for lunch for the rest of the week.
The biggest part of me staying on track, though, is my packed lunch!0 -
Pomegranates here as well. I like to eat them one by one like shell on sunflower seeds. Can take me over an hour to eat half a cup.
I also eat a lot of the small yellowfin tuna packs, Clif Builder Crunchy Peanut Butter Bars, raw almonds and walnuts, avocado, craisins, butternut squash, spaghetti squash and quinoa.
I also have an occasional chocolate chip cookie....granted lately it has been every few days, but if I have the room in the calories then it is a nice treat and I don't feel like I am saying no to the things I love.0 -
Spaghetti Squash. It gave me back all those Italian recipes that called for pasta back. I freakin' loved spaghetti, so it's nice to have something like it. Heck, I like the way the squash tastes more than I ever did the pasta version.
Greek yogurt, avocado, eggs, tomatoes. If I am missing these, you will find me at the store!0 -
As a recovering fast food addict, I totally appreciate this suggestion!0

I found Icelandic yogurt (Siggi's brand) at Safeway.0

raw nuts
Chobani greek yogurt
A teaspoon of peanut butter on a slice of bread or crackers
Weight Watcher's giant chocolate bar0 -
I like the frozen Green beans and roasted red potatoes in a light butter and rosemary sauce. Takes 5 minutes to microwave, 250 cal for the whole bag so I can stuff myself and the touch of butter sauce kills my fast food craving. Plus packed with good veggie nutrients.Actually frozen bags of veggies in light sauce all work pretty well...0

Raw veggies
Apples & cinnamon oatmeal
And for when I'm craving something warm and chocolately, Vitacakes Fudgey Chocolate cakes. 50 calories and packed full of vitamins. They come frozen, I nuke it for 20 seconds, and indulge!0 -
egg whites & turkey bacon!!0
