Replies

I tend to eat mostly:
Breakfast:
oatmeal (with unsweetened almond milk and frozen fruit)
eggs (many different ways so as not to get bored - and I stopped putting cheese in them because I don't taste it enough to be worth the calories)
Lunch:
lettuce (for salads, wrap for meats, etc)
tuna
low sodium turkey deli (wrapped in lettuce)
Dinner:
chicken
beef (once a week)
stir fry
Snacks:
bananas
apples
laughing cow cheese
Skinny Pop popcorn
Sides/Condiments:
avocado
rye bread
pickles
Liquid:
water (will sometimes put lime, fresh ginger or a dash of POM juice)
wine
This isn't ALL I eat, but I do eat more of this than anything probably.

Basics for me - by the way, I've realized that I really don't like to cook! So, most of these are easy/no prep.
Vegetables - sometimes frozen and sometimes fresh. Usually pre-cut.
Eggs - any and every way
Cottage cheese - usually 1%

Same here. I just calibrated my coffee maker on Sun. and already regret it. When it thought it had ground 31g, it had actually ground 36g of coffee. Now, even on the highest strength setting, I don't think I'm getting strong enough coffee. As it turns out, I should have kept it as it was.1 -
Club Soda
Milk
Fruit
Rotisserie Chicken3 -
Pizza
Tyson frozen chicken
Salsa2 -
Popcorn, Apples, and Spinach end up on the list every week.
Eggs, frozen chicken breast, and coffee end up on it every couple of weeks.0 -
My "weight loss" foods are the same as my maintenance foods.4

Eggs
Bread
Various fresh vegetables0 -
Can't do without:
Greek yogurt
Berries
Spring mix or spinach0 -
Trader Joe's chicken sausage
Trader Joe's frozen penne pasta
Hot tea0 -
Sparkling water
Greek yogurt
Salad greens1 -
- oats, rolled and stone cut
- frozen veggies, mixed bags from costco
- peanut butter2 -
Plain fat free greek yogurt, avocados, blueberries, eggs, quinoa or black rice, lemons for lemon water, organic chicken or wild caught salmon, all the veggies in season. Many of my veggies come from my garden.0
-
Chicken, broccoli, green beans0
-
I go through periods of trying to gain and trying to lose. In both cases, I eat/drink exactly the same stuff, just more or less of it.2
-
Turkey mince, chicken breast and egg white cartons0

Individually shrink wrapped tilapia & salmon filets from Walmart. About $3/pound for tilapia and $4.25/pound for Salmon. And its wild caught salmon, so lower fat/calories than farm raises. These are always in my freezer and can turn into a quick and easy meal for me if I don't want what the family is having.
Also, olive oil spray. I know its not actually 0 cal, but in many cases I can use a little of this (such as to saute asparagus) instead of actual olive oil. Though actual olive oil is great for browning up some garlic to toss with veggies...
Garlic salt. I like garlic, I like salt and garlic salt has lower sodium than regular salt. I use it with most meats & veggies that I cook.
And recently (I know, this is 4, oh well) for a sweet treat: Halo Top ice cream. 240-360 calories depending on flavor for a pint of ice cream. And its GOOD.1
