    Dannon Light and Fit Greek Mousse. The salted caramel tastes like I'm eating spoonfuls of frosting.

    Really simple. I put several different vegetables in a skillet and stir-fry them to both thaw and cook them for my dinner. I don't want to get bored so I vary the variety each time something gets depleted. I purchased a red cabbage last week and put about 80 g in the skillet with the other vegetables. While that's going on I thaw the meat in the microwave then reheat the rice and beans in the microwave. After the veg have been on the fire for 10 or so minutes I put the meat in and cook it another 6 or 10 for both sides. The cabbage keeps its color, remains somewhat firm, and on the visual aspect alone I'm glad I tried it.

    Right now I'm loving 2% cottage cheese with a banana on top and two dashes of cinnamon. Yum.

    Air popped popcorn because air is free. Lots of volume for few calories. I like to chew on my calories.

    Buckwheat/Kasha. Half a cup will yield you about 10g of protein for about 300 calories. This small serving gives you half your Magnesium for the day as well as 30% of your daily fiber. A pretty good deal for a grain, I'd say.

    Guavas are nice - tasty fruit with a l'il bit of protein. Jicama - love the prebiotics and the crunch. And plain Greek yogurt is an old standby - yumminess, probiotics, protein, and so versatile: Breakfast, in salad dressing, sour cream substitute, etc.

    Asian cashew salad kit from Costco. It is mostly cabbage and carrots. It's a great change from iceberg or romaine salads I've been eating for lunch lately.

    Chayote, they are a melon with very little flavor and they soak up the flavor of what every you choose to put with it. I cube them up into small pieces and fry them in bacon grease with onions....sooo good, and you would never know it's a melon because at that point it reminds me of fried potatoes

    Cracker barrel cheese sticks and fruit for a snack, Sunkist tuna packs are so tasty and versatile. Yasso chocolate chip cookie dough satisfies my ice cream craving at 100 calories. Flavored Instant oatmeal is under 150 calories for a more satisfying snack.
