I was wondering what are your Top 10 foods you keep in your house all the time that keep you away from junk food. Or that are you favorite healthy choices when it comes to breakfast, lunch, and dinner etc.

I need to mix mine up. All my old go too foods aren't sounding good anymore :(

Some of mine were Eggs, Low Cal Bread, Sugar Free Jello, Sugar Free Pudding, Rice Cakes, Soups in hand (70 cal), Veggie Trays, Fish Fillets.

I think my biggest problem is I work at home, and I'm home alone all day until dinner time. So everything I make has to be for one person until dinner time, then I'm trying to cook for the whole family.

    Funny that the only veg mentioned on this page is the highest on the glycemic index. I try and keep everything out of my house that I really want. I always have oatmeal or some sort of high fiber cereal that I can have as a treat. I do admit I have more fruit than veg in my house.
