    ...and, maybe not so good for us, but -- coffee -- when i want something sweet, plus can't deny the energy rush, just-ground whole beans, some splenda, some fatfree half n half, hot or iced.

    Turkey.

    It is low calorie, low fat and a good source of protein. Not to mention versatile....

    turkey burgers, turkey chilli, turkey meatloaf, turkey lasagne, turkey sausages, BBQ turkey, roast turkey, turkey sandwiches, turkey casserole...

    Now I sound like Bubba in Forest Gump.....

    Oatmeal.... I could eat this all the time just put in different fruit to add variety. My favorites are strawberries, blueberries and granny smith apples.

    watch out for tuna , its carries alot of mercury, a good alternative to tuna is anchovies. I was eating alot of tuna myself then someone mentioned the whole mercury thing and I looked it up. Sure enough tuna although a great source of protein has mercury in it. You can eat some i think a few times a week but watch out.

    I've confirmed with a dietitian friend that as long as you have 2 cans or less per day you're safe from the mercury poisoning issue.

    My "diet" foods that I LOVE are Fage greek yogurt, almonds, apples, string cheese, and hummus. I eat them all at least once a week and most of them everyday.

    Oats! Love my oats for breakfast, with eggs as a close second.

    Alternatively come to England and I will make you a decent curry which will make your tastebuds sing ;)

    I lived in London for a summer and miss curry so much! Have a good recipe you'd be willing to share????

    While the promise of a good thing is incredibly tempting, the price of the ticket is overwhelming. :D For now I'll have to stick with the recommended websites. I'll keep your offer on my back burner which is currently simmering something delectable! LOL.

    Are you kidding? I have dozens from all over SE Asia including India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia...

    I really recommend Charmaine Solomon's "The Complete Asian Cookbook" if you want good curry recipes. However, if you want a ridiculously tasty but quick and easy to prepare supper dish try this Goan Fish Curry:

    If you are worried about the calorie content substitute the coconut milk for the half fat version or semi skimmed milk / yogurt. It will literally half the calories and if your spices are of good quality there will be very little impairment on flavour. In fact I barely use full fat coconut milk as I find it too rich for my tastes.

    Enjoy!

    ps: to get this thread back on track I would say certain ice cream.

    I had a Solero recently and it was less than 100 calories. It was delicious and kept my sweet tooth in check.

    bananas
    they just fill me up and apparently the high potassium also helps reduce chocolate cravings!

    Canned tuna. I have a hard time getting enough protein, so it's good to have tuna around. Sometimes I eat it straight out of the can for a snack, but it's also good in salads and on sammiches, or with crackers. Love it.
