    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

    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)

    I keep eggs, light rye bread, yogurt, berries such as blackberries and blue berries, apples, bananas, peanut butter, old fashioned oats, almonds and pecans, raisins, celery, peppers, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, tuna fish, pretzels, and popcorn. I try to plan my meals and snacks in advance each morning so I have a rough idea of what my calorie and food intake will be. I find if I think about it, put it in my lunch box for work, then I stick to healthy eating better than if I'm eating on the run. JenB

    top foods for me -

    1) quinoa
    2) eggs -i dont ever eat the yolks, yuck
    3) boneless, skinless chicken breast marinated in fat free italian dressing -so versitile
    4) lara bars and snickers nutrition bars -i was surprised at how healthy these are. theyre like a yummy vitamine without that many calories
    5) fat free tortillas and crackers
    6) benefiber cherry pomegranate drink packets -i wouldnt survive without them because i really dont like plain water but i love these drink mixes
    7) salsa -i buy the giant gallon jugs of it and i usually go through one a week. i eat it on everything!
    8) fit oats oatmeal
    9) fat free and occationally 2% cheese -i could eat cheese with every meal. all my cheeses were the hardest things to give up
    10) bagged salad
    11) broccoli -i eat this daily, and it's reall good with salsa :)
    12) fat free cool whip -i freeze it and eat it like ice cream with a little bit of coco powder and instant coffee
    13) coffee -i need it to live. just black, i like my coffee to taste like coffee
    14) apples
    15) garlic and onions -another thing i add to almost everything



    i know, i went over 10. oops. and not to sound preachy, but i recommend buying the britta filter that goes on your tap and some refillable water bottles. if you drink a minimum of 80oz of water a day, you will use 1825 bottles a year.

    I don't really eat too much processed food or any diet/sugar free foods while dieting.

    My staple meal is mexican. So, I keep beans (black or ff refried), tortillas (corn or high-fiber whole wheat flour), lettuce, light sour cream, eggs, and chicken. With this I make a variety of things: chicken tostadas, bean burritos, huevos rancheros, soft chicken tacos, etc.

    I also usually have spinach or broccoli on hand, as a side.
