    I switched out all my white carbs for brown ones. I use 35 calorie wheat bread for sandwiches, I love Sara Lee mini bagels (100 cals each) and I eat loads of fresh vegetables (about four to five cups at a time, chopped carrots, broccoli and cauliflower). I keep apples and oranges handy and always load up on water.

    My list looks about the same - but I don't like protein shakes so I replace that with Non Fat Greek yogurt. Any fruits and veggies that are in season (lots of these) and supplement with frozen veggies (green beans, cauliflower, etc. I never leave the store without a giant tub of greens, baby carrots, or almonds - lol.

    I've stopped eating tilapia since I read (and i don't remember where or I'd link) that it is nationally void (and I never really liked it - just forcing it down because I thought it was good for me) - but now eat a bunch of tuna and salmon.

    As for "treats," Iike vitatops and they don't send me into a sweet stuff binge like other sweets do.

    2/3rd cup of special k cereal with lite and fit yogurt . I buy the variety of cereal and switch up flavors of yogurt to! I also eat special k bars and special k sea salt cracker chips for snacks. Protein shakes with frozen fruit in blender with low fat milk as a meal replacement. I think water fills up my hunger as well

    It's a spray butter- I substitute it for real butter and I actually like the taste better than real butter

    This link shows the nutritional facts and what it looks like:

    Find your favorite fruits and veggies and stock them! I like fruit especially for snacks, so I find whatever looks good at the store or is on sale/in season. Right now, I have blackberries and strawberries (sometimes, I add a pinch of sugar too). Switch it up every week and you'll start to look forward to them. Finish that off with some protein that feels a little decadent. I love cheese, so even a lo-cal cheese stick satisfies me (or a small portion of full-fat cheddar), but pick whatever satisfies you, from nuts to hummus to yogurt.
