An avocado. Also eggs for breakfast keep me full until lunch.0

8AM – 2/3 cup FiberOne cereal (60) 2/3 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk (20) – 80 calories
10AM – 6oz Kroger CarbMaster Yogurt – 60 calories
12 noon – 2 slices 40 cal bread (80) and 1 ounce turkey (or ham) (30) condiments or veggies to equal up to – 150 calories
2 pm - veggies or fruit as much as you can get for -100 calories Depending on what you pick this could be a good bit of food
4pm – Lite Cheese Stick 50 calories
6pm – (2 grilled chicken Caesar Wraps) 2 light FlatOut wraps (180), 6 oz grilled chicken breast (210), half a bag of Dole Lite Caesar Kit (135) – 515 calories
8pm – ½ PINT! Arctic Zero vanilla icecream (75) Walden Farms Caramel Sauce (0 I don’t know how they do it) ½ a FiberOne brownie (crumbled up on top) (45) – 115 calories
That is a 1070 day with dessert so I would typically add a 100 calorie bag of popcorn to a ziplock bag in the morning and use it as a grab snack during the day. I know the nutrition natzis won’t like that I do desert instead of more healthy items for my 8pm snack but it made the limited calories so much more doable.0 -
- stop trying to lose 40 lbs in 14 weeks. No wonder you're hungry.
- eat at a deficit to lose 1 lb per week - this will give you enough calories to not feel starved.
- protein and fats will keep you feeling full for longer - eat them. Fill up the rest of the plate with veg.

This sounds like really good advice if it's based on your diary, as hard as it is to hear.0 -
Broccoli, carrots, popcorn, boiled cabbage.
Oh, and pickles!0 -
To give you an idea of a typical day for me...yesterday's diary entries:
Breakfast 7AM - Slim Fast shake mixed with unsweetened vanilla almond milk = 140 calories
Mid Morning Snack - 9:30 AM - Kroger CARBmaster yogurt ( I LOVE this stuff!) and small banana = 150 calories
Lunch NOON - Homemade chicken salad (using plain non fat greek yogurt) stuffed into 8 grain pocket bread and a spinach/spring mix salad with carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, sliced almonds, crispy jalepenos and light marie's blue cheese = 342 calories
Afternoon snack 3:30PM - Sliced apples = 65 calories
Dinner 7PM - Chicken stir fry with brown rice and same salad as lunch = 571 calories
Evening Snack 9:30PM = 90 calorie fiber one bar (the chocolate peanut butter are good!) = 90 calories
Total for day = 1268 calories
Other snacks I throw in sometimes are pickles (no calories!)...reduced fat string cheese...sargento ultra thin cheese slices (only 45 calories).
Feel free to add me or stalk my diary...its always open0 -
Mushrooms, celery, spinach, cucumbers, cabbage, green pepper, cauliflower, broccoli, egg whites, cottage cheese, chicken breast and on occasion sugar free jello.0
-
sweet potatoes will feel you up real fast. For lunch I like to make one with some ground turkey shredded lettuce and salsa on top. Saw this on the biggest loser it is very delicious0
-
Celery with Tzaziki dip, I get a mini dip from coles, and with 150g celery sticks it's about 80 calories.0
-
I swear by Skinny B cereal (by a brand called Holy Crap, haha), mixed into fat free Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of honey.. It's basically just hemp hearts, chia seeds, and buckwheat, it is organic, GMO free, gluten free, lactose free, vegan (although I eat it with yogurt so I'm clearly no vegan), tasty, and really filling. I love it.0

Fresh lean meat. FRESH not processed. Egg whites as a sandwich or an omelet( two whites and one whole egg) choice of veggies and small amount of cheese. Cook chicken ahead of time and use it for tacos and salads. Fish is great. Lean protein will keep you going and suppress your appetite. Greek yogurt is also a good choice.0
-
Eating oatmeal for breakfast helps me feel full. Others for me iinclude eggs, chicken, spaghetti squash, and protein shakes0
-
Baby carrots, cucmber sticks, capsicum sices with hummus or salsa to dip.
Omelettes are good too.
I make muffins substituting protein powder, rolled oats and LSA for flour. Those are pretty good lunchbox snacks.0 -
Honestly, try drinking water whenever you feel hungry. sometimes it helps more than you would think. I also blend low calorie high water content fruit in the blender with some protein powder like watermelon.
Otherwise if you don't like protein powder I would have some cottage cheese, or rice and tuna.0 -
Depends on what low carb is to you. I sometimes eat two eggs sunny side up on multigrain english muffin, spring mix salad and a slice of avacado. Totals to about 31g of carb for the meal.0
-
For a snack - Texas Caviar. I cup equals 100 calories
you can pick it up at costco or make your own, try allreceipes0 -
5 slices of 35 cal bread and a huge cup of h2o0
-
Anything that is high in protein will usually get me through till the next meal.0

Strawberries. One large strawberry (think large enough to be a deluxe Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry from Godiva) is 10 calories and takes a few bites to eat. I bought 3 lbs of the larger strawberries from a farmer's market stand near my work and ate about 8 of them today... and it was 80 calories.
Another plus for them is the sweetness, because it's helping me kick my sugar cravings. I tend to munch on crap when my blood sugar drops, and this is SO HELPING.0 -
Hi, I eat Greek yogurt with 1 tbl of Chia seeds plus 1 orange or grapes with 16 ounces of water for lunch. That usually holds me. The Chia triples it's size in liquids, is high in fiber, protein and antioxidents with only 50 calories. If I bring a small cup of applesauce instead of the other fruit I put the chia in it just to change it up.0
