YOUR best diet foods???

I plan my meals religiously too. I have an eating schedule - 15 minutes before my meal, I will have a large glass of water with a fiber supplement (like Metamucil). The water and fiber make my feel fuller before I eat my meals.

For snacks, I snack on Frosted Mini Wheats (I never eat more than a cup a day), carrots, snap peas, broccolli or homemade Kale chips (Kale is high in iron and fiber).

I keep reduced-fat string cheese (8 grams of protein!), carrots, and greek yogurt in the fridge at work. I also keep not-roasted or salted whole almonds in my office and bring apples and bananas. The only thing about the almonds is that there are 160 cals in 28 nuts, so I try and keep it to 14 almonds to control portion size.. thats still 80 cals! I used to keep 100-cal pack snacks, but they aren't as filling and only provide carbs!

My diary open also.

Alright stop reading post because this will clearly be the best one lol

whats been getting me by is these fat free pizzas i've been making at home
Fat free motzerella cheese from kraft 1/4 cups 45 calories
Flatout light wraps with 9 grams of fiber and only 90 calories
and then whatever you desire, my favorite is Italian seasoning, roasted garlic, olives, mushrooms, spinach, onions, green peppers and cherry tomatoes. (i hit up the farmers market ALOT)

other then this i usually stick to skinny caramel macciatos, okios yogurt (at 90 cal), healthy choice country veggie soup, cheese sticks light (50 calories)
homemade air popped popcorn
and best of all is the edy's fruit bars!
best of luck to you and i hope you try the pizza

My everyday foods are: egg whites, hot oatbran cereal, lots of fruit and veggies, fish of any kind, chicken, chobani, parmason cheese to add flavor.

My low cal, low fat treats/have to really taste good stuff: International coffees de-caf sugar free mocha, light reddi whip on strawberries, apple or pear microwaved with spices (and whip on top), Fresca, a really good piece of dark chocolate.

Between meal fill me up so I don't overeat later foods: apples, carrots, celery with peanut butter, nuts.

Is slim fast bad?

Ever try a low carb diet? (Sorry I couldn't read every response to see if someone mentioned this already) I don't get as hungry on my low carb diet because I'm allowed to have a decent amount of fat, the fat and protein stabilizes your blood sugar, you feel full longer, you don't have ups and downs with hunger as much. My snacks could be a hard boiled egg, or cheese. . of course if I'm at home there are more choices for what to eat.

My friend and I are eating Kelp Noodles (at home) because they kind of help fill you up but they have barely any calories or carbs, no sugar.

Chobani Yogurt - Strawberry Banana, Strawberry, Pomegranate or Blueberry
Light String Cheese, Laughing Cow Cheese w/Whole Wheat Ritz crackers
Dole Peaches in 100% Juice
Banana, Grapes, Strawberries
Sun Chips (IN A SANDWICH BAG -- do not bring the bag to work lol)
Hershey's dark chocolate minis (2 is the limit)
Kozy Shack Chocolate Pudding

1. Greek Yogurt
2. Vitatops/Vitamuffins
3. Fresh Veggies (baby carrots are my favorite)
4. String Cheese
5. Protein Shakes
6. Potatos (usually in the form of hash browns cooked with spray olive oil)
7. Spray Butter
8. Spray Salad Dressing
9. Laughing Cow Cheese
10. Apples with PB2 (PB2 is basically a peanut butter replacement and it is fabulous!)
11. Bananas when I need sugar NOW!
12. Cereal for Dinner (fills you up and the carbs keep you going/full just long enough until bed-time)

A very filling breakfast for me is one that includes eggs -- especially omelets! Just two eggs, loaded with green peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and a bit of cheese. To mix things up, I'll sometimes have an english muffin with peanut butter and banana, or oatmeal with fruit.

Snacks -- fruit, veggies and hummus, rice cakes, kashi granola bars, cheese strings, greek yogurt with fruit.
Depending on how hungry I am, I may have two out of the three above, equalling in 100-200 calories.

Lunch -- wrap with veggies, cheese, hummus or mustard.

Snack -- see above!

Supper -- Anything goes.. stirfry with rice, veggie chicken breast with tons of vegetables, soup, spaghetti squash with spaghetti sauce and veggies.

I find if I load up on veggies I'm satisfied/fuller longer. Protein also helps with this too!

breakfast ...1/2 cup berries while I am making my omlette ...

omlette .. ... made with one whole egg, one egg while , chopped red onion, 2 chopped mushrooms .. when done topped it with 2 tbs salsa

lunch ... fine sliced.... 1/2 cup of jicama (really love this), medim carrot, little red onion, red cabbage .. tossed with 1 or 2 TBS braggs apple cider vinegar then topped with 1 Tbs fresh ground flax seed and 1 Tbs sunflower seeds

snack 1 oz low fat string chhese

dinner .. 4oz very lean peppercorn pork tenderloin, large portion fresh string beans and about 1/2 cup quinoa

and about 8 raw almonds just before I go to bed ... find that my weight loss has improved this way .. maybe makes my metabolism work when sleeping and I am sure the added fiber helps

I take vitamins and probiotics and drink tons of water

my question is this .. I have been way under my calories suggested ... but I am eating really good food .. so do I have to eat caories for the sake of calories????

Calories are a unit of measurement, which measure energy. Energy your body needs to function. Your body requires X amount of calories (energy) to keep running. So it's not calories for the sake of calories; it's calories for the sake of a healthy, fit body.

You can get it from your local grocery store. I enjoy strawberry and blueberry!

Coffee, tea, fruit, Fiber 1 bar, Special-K meal replacement bar, water, water, water...

where do i get the chiobani yogurt you guys are talking about?

When you buy the chiobani yogurt make sure you look on the front of the yogurt. Some are made with 0% ( fat free) milk, 1% and 2%. Just in case your wondering why some you eat are thicker than others.
