I don't have dieting staples because I don't believe in dieting.
You're on a calorie-counting website - you're dieting.
No..
Dieting is the restriction of food, and I don't restrict the type of food I eat.
I will count calories for the rest of my life, even when I reach maintenance, because I don't want to gain back the weight I've lost. Does that mean I'm on a diet forever?
You will have to restrict your food intake for the rest of your life if you plan on keeping the weight off. It's just a fact of life.0 -

Of course. But, this still does not mean I'm on a diet now or for the rest of my life. Diet is a mentality where foods are categorized as good or bad. What I'm making now is lifestyle change.0 -

There is nothing I eat every single day, and I eat pretty similar things whether I'm cutting calories or not. But things I almost aways have on hand are:
Eggs
"Easy to cook" vegetables (that just require chopping and steaming or roasting) like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, etc.
Tuna and sardines
Apples
Peanut butter
Yogurt
Tofu or tempeh
No-added-sodium roast turkey breast slices (for snacks)
Carrots
Soups
At least one salad green (spinach, lettuce, arugula etc) and cooking green (kale. chard, etc.)
Bread--not always whole wheat, GASP!!!
Old Bay seasoning--I eat it on everything
Sambal and sriracha sauces--which I also eat on everything0 -
fresh fruits and veggies.
bananas almost every day, as well as hummus, vegetarian burgers (I love the Portobello mushroom burger for breakfast) , the flatout foldit whole wheat bread with flaxseed, mixed organic salads ( I always buy a big one for my lunches at work) with dressing, tomatoes, mixed nuts (unsalted, nit roasted), my new favorite is dried mango slices without sugar and without sulfur , peanut and almond butter.0 -
Oatmeal & Blueberries
Turkey Sandwiches
Greek Yogurt
Nuts
Milk
Frozen Veggies
P&J Sandwiches
And pretty much anything homemade. Just eating at home has made the biggest difference in my weight loss. Right now I'm cooking beef stew, last weekend it was turkey chili. I cook a huge batch and eat it for lunch most of the week. When I do eat out, I generally opt for simple dishes--salads, chicken & veggies, soup & salad or sandwich.
I count calories 5 days a week, the other 2 days I just try to "keep it simple". Prior to getting pregnant I lost 20ish lbs, and now I'm about to deliver and have gained 23. So--in my eyes--I'm doing alright.0 -

Sam's Club sells a bag of "Mesquite Chicken" in the frozen food section. You can microwave 2 breasts in 6:30 and it's 220 calories. It's too easy to be good for you; it's the quickest dinner I have available with the least amount of dishes.0

I recently made the switch from salsa to cherry tomatoes. 4 tomatoes have the same number of calories as 2T of salsa, but I cut out an extra 250 mg in sodium every day.0 -
what foods to you eat everyday and consider your dieting staples?
for example, many cultures might consider rice a staple and base most main meals around it?
for me, bananas, hot chocolate and fat free yoghurt are my staples. must have bananas everyday - easy to carry, cheap and filling. hot choc - staves off sugar cravings. fat free yoghurt - filling and easy to carry around.
I don't have dieting staples because I don't believe in dieting.
I eat whatever I want as long as I stay within my calorie allowance.
Calorie counting is a form of dieting ...0
