are there any foods you realize you go through way faster when you are actively watching what you eat? I feel like somethings are just flying out of here! namely: eggs, cheesestrings, protein pudding and salad dressing! (this all came to me last night when I was making my lunch and the bottle of salad dressing I bought a month ago is almost empty!)

    YES! Ensure, fresh veggies of all types, and skim milk that I mix with whey protein.

    Cottage cheese, eggs, yogurt, and fresh produce. The funny thing is, I don't actually like eggs and cottage cheese... I eat them because they are easy and good for me, cost effective, and my body doesn't like eating that much meat.

    fruits and veggies and eggs and avocados and peanut butter. Also chicken and fish.

    i don't like salad dressing. If I want something on it i'll mix greek yogurt with avocado and tomato or salsa with some garlic and onion or use balasmi vinegar. lol

    I actually LOVE eggs. I have a hard-boiled one as a snack every day and omelets or scrambled a few times a week. I love the versatility of eggs, you could have them every day and not eat the same thing!

    We go through two or three pounds of mixed greens and sliced turkey breast and a pound of feta and three heads of cauliflower a week, just for lunch salads. And I don't even have the turkey everyday.

    Last week, we had a dozen eggs in two days - breakfast, spaghetti squash pad Thai and crepes (no, autocorrect, not creeps).

    It took me just over a month to go through a mega jar of PB. They come in a two pack and we go to Costco every month, so that doesn't seem so bad.

    Water - I moved almost 3 weeks ago and no longer have a fridge with a water filter system. While I track and know how much water I drink each day, it wasn't until I had to start filling up a Brita pitcher that I realized how much water I go through.

    It's interesting to see what I don't go through anymore. I've yet to unpack all my food from my old house and it's mainly stuff like boxes of pasta, rice, baking goods.

    The stuff I go trough all the time now is OJ and frozen strawberries for smoothies, lunch meat, sliced cheese, mustard, creamy horseradish sauce, flatout fold-its for lunches, and the various beans, rotel, canned tomato cause, condensed soup, chicken breast, ground turkey, spices and stocks that I need for crock potting chili and chicken & dumplings.

    I agree!! there is a lot of things sitting in my pantry that aren't getting touched!

    I just started going through my pantry too and i'm eating everything in it and not replacing it. I can't afford to throw the food away, but it's relatively healthy so I'm ok.

    Eggs, peanut butter, cottage cheese, Chobani Pineapple, TastyKakes (almost every day my son and I make some tea, split a pack of TastyKakes, and read two chapters of the unabridged version of Les Miserables out loud--well worth the 120-140 calories, in my opinion).
