    splenda (my new love)
    diet coke
    minute rice. higher in carbs and calories, but quick and easy!

    low sodium soup

    ryvita crackerbreads
    red onion
    garlic
    tinned chopped tomatoes
    tomatoe puree
    spices
    flour
    apples
    low fat yoghurt
    nutella chocolate spread ( for a cheeky choocy fix with half the calslol )

    OMG Nutella, that stuff is the BOMB.. it helped me quit smoking (dipped celery in it when i had cravings) and now with dieting it is still around for that part too.. i highly recommend it.. For those of you who don't know cigs. have caffeine in them and the nutella gave just enough caffeine to curve that fix.. Don't believe me? ask you doc.. I was surprised to find that out too.

    BTW I keep all sweet n low in the house to sub for sugar.. always have but seems to be catching on now.. I still use sugar some but in moderation.

    yogurt

    celery
    apples

    Snap Pea Crisps
    Nuts: almonds or South Beach NUTrition mix
    Reduced Fat String Cheese
    Sea Salt Somersaults: if you haven't had these, try them! And these are really snack friendly because you can count them out and track them easily...need 100 calories? 70? Easy.
    Pita Crisps: garlic flavor
    Yogurt Drinks
    Canned or jarred fruit: because you just can't get to the grocery store every few days!
    Trader Joes Corn and Red Pepper Soup
    Trader Joes Chicken Tikka Masala
    Kashi Granola Bars: i like the honey almond flax one

    Great question! Thanks!

    I have about 15 things I keep regularly... so adding 5 bonus ones!

    1) Turkey Deli Meat (from the counter, not the pre-packaged)
    2) Low fat cheese singles (babybel, phili cream cheese, etc)
    3) Celery
    4) Cucumbers
    5) Raspberries
    6) Low cal/fat/sodium Progresso Soups (usually around 150 cal/can)
    7) No sugar added Cranberry juice
    8) Salsa
    9) Hummus
    10) Dark chocolate (eat sparingly... the darker the better, 1 piece really satisfies my sweet tooth)
    11) Oat and Honey Bars (great with some natural smooth peanut butter!)
    12) GNC Lean Shakes (180 calories in one serving. Usually use this as a last resort if I'm in a hurry)
    13) Black unsweetened tea/Mint Tea (No green tea b/c I have hypothyroidism and the fluoride levels really mess up my thyroid levels)
    14) Cherry tomatoes
    15) Frozen & shelled Edamame

    Bumping this thread for future reading~

    The few foods that I can say I love to have around now are:
    Clementines
    Chicken
    Bananas
    Oatmeal

    I'm sure I'll have more to add once I get further into this lifestyle change.
