How did I forget VODKA?:laugh:0

I eat chicken pretty much every day (high protein, low calories). I eat a lot of turkey for the same reason. Vegetables, in general. I'm not particularly a fan of vegetables, but they do provide a lot of food for little impact on the calorie goal, so I use them a lot. Blue Bell no sugar added ice cream (I'm not a sugar alarmist or anything ... this just happens to be a very tasty ice cream for half the calories of regular Blue Bell). I usually have bananas, apples, and a few other kinds of fruit chopped up in the fridge for when I'm hungry but it's not meal time. That keeps me from wanting to devour a bag of chocolate chips. Those are the things I keep around to help stay on track with my goal.
As far as things I always have because I really like them ... steak, cheese, peanut butter, chocolate. I also keep several different batches of cookie dough in my freezer so that I can have a different cookie every day if I want. And all the regular baking staples (flour, butter, sugar, eggs, etc.) because I bake a lot. That's about it.0 -
