    I like Columbus nitrate free turkey bacon, (Costco) it is 45 cal a slice. I chop it up and cook with egg whites.....just a little extra protein and flavor

    Isn't regular bacon about the same as that? I know the center cut bacon is, not sure about regular but I was thinking it wasn't more than 50 cals/slice. I just find turkey bacon to be such a poor substitute for regular, but if you enjoy it, or are avoiding the regular version for other reasons, then great! I always think bacon gets such a bad rap!

    Ball Park makes a fat-free turkey hot dog that is 40 or 45 calories. It doesn't taste as good as regular, high-cal, high-fat hot dogs, but it's pretty good. And non-fat! :)

    Must find! I love hot dogs :) Thanks for the heads up!

    I accidentally bought organic/free range/cage free/brown eggs..... I will be shelling out the extra dollars for them from here on out. They're creamy and taste so much better. I can eat them scrambled with a sprinkle of cheese- 195 calories for two plus the cheese, with 15 grams of protein.

    "Ole" brand "Extreme Wellness" High Fiber, Low Carb Tortilla Wraps. They are 50 calories each! They used to be 90 but per the package it looks like they've updated their ingredients and lowered the calories quite a bit. I use them a lot now.

    What?! I'm going to check that out today. That's what I buy, but I haven't seen them for 50 yet.

    Low sodium roasted bacon from Kroger. 60 calories for 2 pieces. It has less fat too. Its not as good as normal bacon but its ok if you really want lower calorie bacon

    Trader Joe's has delicious natural bacon for the same 60 cals for 2 pieces.

    Applegate farm hot dogs are only 80 calories or something, and delicious.

    I add cinnamon to just about everything. It adds a sweet/spicy flavor with no calories or fat at all. Instead of eating an apple, sprinkle some cinnamon on it and cook it in the microwave till it's soft. "Baked" apple for the same nutritional count as a plain ol' apple! I even sprinkle cinnamon in my scrambled eggs before I cook them - it sounds weird but it gives them a whole different flavor that somehow makes them taste more substantial.

    Sweet Chili are my favorite!

    Hormel Turkey pepperoni - 70% less fat than regular pepperoni. Texture is a little stiff, so I just cut slices into quarters before putting on my pizza.

    the Yasso greek yogurt bars are pretty good and low calorie too. Edys slow churned ice creams are usually only 130 calories to 150 calories depending on the flavor you choose and really tasty- ENJOY

    Pretzel Crisps now come in a mini size. 42 minis to a serving for 110 calories. Usually I'm content with a 1/2 serving. Combine them with Dave's salsa that I get at Wal-Mart. The salsa is only 10 calories for 2 tablespoons. Delicious!!

    I tried yasso, it ended in the trash, honestly. Love Edy's though.

    Today I found 'Butternut squash soup with apple' from publix deli, its apparently like 250 calories per 8oz?
    HECK YES
    I am very happy :)
    I enjoyed that soup SO.VERY.MUCH. I will be keeping an eye out for it again. However, I wish I knew if there was a canned version so I can have it when I so want.
    Time to google! :)

    I just tried this recipe last night and I am now doing this with squash all the time:

    http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2006/10/unflinchingly-good-things/

    The vinaigrette looks a bit annoying to prep, but I can confirm that it is just as delicious if you misread the instructions and dump everything in the baking dish and cook it all together rather than separating the oil and pouring the sauce over at the end. ;-)
