Newbie..
but thought I'd post a smoothie that I love to have as a mid morning or mid afternoon snack while I'm at work (lucky that I have access to crushed ice and a blender at work!)
1 c unsweetened almond milk
1/2 banana, frozen
3/4 c frozen pineapple
1c crushed ice
that's it. blend it up and it's a nice, mildly sweet smoothi/milkshake. It makes about 20oz and is only about 150 cal... it's nice and thick and cold so it takes me a while to drink it...

LonelyPilgrim, that sounds great!! Thanks for sharing!0 -
I buy a big bag of almonds from COSTCO and toast them to keep on hand for snacks. I'll eat 14 toasted almonds (85 cal, and healthy fat), sometimes with a banana. MMMMMMM!0

Greek yogurt with chocolate protein powder...like eating chocolate pudding!! Yum!0

1. Meat
2. Ice Cream
3. Coffee
You think I am joking, but view my diary.0 -
ground buffalo and sweet potatoes0

In general: meat, vegetables, fruits, nuts, dairy, and grains. Oh, and chocolate.
Basically, I eat what I want, as long as it helps me meet my calorie/macronutrient/micronutrient goals.0 -
jerky,---->>>deer, goat, beef, alligator, just get it and keep it in your car, desk, tee pee, it lasts forever.0
-
Hard boiled egg in the morning, salmon for dinner, and bananas, peaches, and apples for snacks.0
-
bananas, peanut butter, and whey protein, often at the same time0
-
The ones that fit within my calorie goal.0

I don't know that recipe but I've been buying Bolthouse Olive Oil Balsamic salad dressing. It is only 30 calories for 2T. I can really stretch it on my salads but with a low calorie count, I don't have to if I don't want too. At Target on the market side, the yogurt dressings and this one are refrigerated and near the salads. Good Luck!0

Tuna, carrots, celery, hard boiled eggs0

Those tuna tempter cans in various flavours, I get them in bulk when they are on special, my cupboard looks like an Andy Warhol painting right now.
And red wine, the prospect of this pulls me through most days.0 -
I eat a massive bowl of salad the size that would normally feed a family.
I'm too full to be tempted to late night snack.
If I imagine a fish milkshake it stops me grazing...........0 -
I find not denying myself sweet stuff stops me from going crazy and giving into my chocolate cravings. So dark chocolate almond milk blended with a banana is a great way to start off my day and keep me on the right track.0

Strawberries
Yogurt
Huge salad with a small amount of meat and mayonnaise
Caesar salad
Herbal tea
Cappuccinos
Sugar free sweets
Water0 -
For a late afternoon pick-me-up, (this is my danger period for succumbing to junk), I always find that two packs of cup of soup or a can of flaked white tuna in water will do the trick. I know the cup of soup has a gazillion mgs of sodium...but sometimes that's the trade off for a filling snack that's less than 150 cals.
I also love the weight watchers Smart Ones Parmesan Chicken.
And raisins......lots of raisins.0 -
I do overnight oats every day for breakfast (1/2 c oats, 1/2 c milk, 1 T chia seeds, 1/2 t vanilla + fruit or other add ins - my favorite is lemon zest and blueberries.). I make a lot of green smoothies with spinach and also have been eating a lot of cabbage. I make tuna salad with Greek yogurt, tuna, lemon juice, cilantro, and a ton of cabbage and eat it on Triscuits. I love it and it's really filling, thanks to all of the protein and fiber. I live in Japan right now, where salad is mostly cabbage with toasted sesame dressing, which I really like. For sweet cravings, I buy good quality dark chocolate so a little bit satisfies me. Or freeze banana slices and throw them in the blender with berries to make sorbet.0

Bananas are the most important food for me. Easily packaged, lots of nutrients, and super sweet. (:
Coming in a close second is eggs. Perfectly portioned, easily cooked, with lots of good protein and fats.
I will also mention greek yogurt - I mix it with sugar-free jello and it's quite heavenly.0 -
Coming by to say the same as last time
ICE CREAM0
