I found some wonderful pitas at Vons. Masada brand "kosher pita" - they are incredibly light in cals for what they are, and not a diet food or anything. 10-12 seconds each side under the grill and they come to life in a wonderful way. I make little pizzas out of them, sandwiches, or just use as bread sides.
I also always have some good high calorie bars around (and in my bag) in case I get between meals and mess up on timing. A 250 cal Cliff bar will be a better choice than almost anything I would hungrily forage for on the go and will actually replace a meal rather than just add calories and still leave me hungry.1 -
Can't narrow down to just 3:
- chicken breast
- eggbeaters
- breakfast cereal
- broccoli
- snap peas
- Greek yogurt

egg whites
chicken breasts
my daily square of Lindt dark chocolate!1 -
-

Not really "diet" food, but I get through a ridiculous amount of them...0 -
Vegetables (fresh and frozen)
Fruit
Yogurt & Cottage Cheese
Diet Soda
Beyond Meat products
Beans
Those are the things I eat most often.0 -
My less obvious ones
La croix (grapefruit or lime)
slim jim snack sticks (40 cals that really curb my hunger)
protein shakes0 -
Creamette 150 pasta - high fiber, good taste, and satisfactory mouth-feel. 13g fiber for a 2 oz serving, this stuff is responsible for getting me from 11g fiber/day to over 25.
90% lean ground beef - affordable lean protein, actually, pork and chicken also. My parents, whom I cook for, really like meat. When I live in my own I eat 90% vegetarian but lean meats are a good compromise.
Aldi's Greek yogurt cheaper by far than the other brands and still delicious.2 -
For me, I mix it up all the time...so it's more *categories* than foods
greens (spinach, romaine, arugula, spring mix) - I try to stay away from mixes with red lettuces, since they wilt and rot faster
fruits - usually a few bananas for smoothies, whatever is in season and on sale, plus berries for quick snacks
meats - I buy in bulk from whole foods, stick to specials and always get a 2+ pound bag of frozen cod fillets
For specific things?
meat and vegetable stock
eggs
almond milk
canned tomato
coffee
cream
