Need help on my choices!! Share your knowledge!!

try sugar free jello with fat free whip cream, slim fast snack bars, quacker rice cakes. these also help with the sweet tooth!:happy:

When I was working, I would take half a Sunday and prepare a bunch of things that I could take on-the-go throughout the week. Breakfast quiches are a wonderful, filling food and you get your proteins and veggies all in a little cupcake looking thing. You can also bake a bunch of chicken and chop it up to add to bagged salads. Instead of the tuna kits, make your own tuna salad, that way you know exactly what's in it. Tuna is good for up to 4 days in the fridge

As far as snacks, I go for things that will tide me over until my next real meal. That's usually veggies such as celery, bell peppers and cucumbers with a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese, or a handful of nuts that I'll put into baggies to throw into my purse.

Hope that help!

I bought plastic Gladware containers and make my own meals. When I really started to think about it...I realized I could easily make meals like frozen WW and LC. I like having more control over the sodium (one benefit) and I also have more control over preservatives. I save a ton of money doing this myself. Plus, I get to use my imagination. I have an "ap" on my Droid called "Recipes" by AllTheCooks (see their web site AllTheCooks.com) and you can take an item and they will list a bunch of recipes. I've also discovered a line of products from a company called WildTree which is a small company out of Rhode Island (USA). They make seasoning/sauces with No MSG, No Preservatives, Sodium Free and low cal and they are REALLY GOOD Tasting. As a side note, when I started using these products and stopped buying packaged processed foods, my daughter had less behavioral issues at school and better able to concentrate on school work.

I love to have a vitamuffin top in the morning. I love the oatmeal cranberry and chocolate ones. They have only one hunderd calories and are low in sugar. I also love the Healthy for Life Ezeikel Cinnimon Raisin Bread - all organic and full of fiber. Two slices with some coffee keeps me full all morning - seriously.

On Sundays I try to peel and slice enough carrot sticks and celery for the entire week to pack in lunches or just grab a better choice out of the refrg. when I'm snacky. I also love low fat, part skim cheese sticks. Sargento's are only fifty calories and some of the others are eighty or less.

Another thing I do a lot is buy a rotissere chicken (sorry about the spelling on that one) and take off the breast meat when I get home. Then all week it makes awesome sandwhiches, quesadillas, chicken tacos, etc...

Vita Muffins can be found in freezer section of places like target and most supermarkets. Ezeikel breads at Fresh Market, Central Market, Sprouts (not sure where your located) Whole foods. and Sam's Club has these awesome Tortilla Factory low carb whole wheat tortillas that are low carb, sugar, and cals. Also try the low sugar/carb Healthy Life breads and buns (walmart, kroger.etc) They are good without high calories or carbs.

Hope that helps!
