    Well, if we're going by what I purchase most often, probably bananas, pizza, and Starbucks frappucinos. Lol

    The only key thing for me isn't a grocery item. It's not shopping while hungry.

    Non-starchy vegetables. I eat a lot of summer squash, broccoli, and brussels sprouts.

    Boneless chicken. It's the one meat I don't mind supersizing my servings of to get more protein.

    Cheese. I usually reach for the stronger stuff when I'm dieting - stinky Italian cheese, extra sharp cheddar - and use it to dress up the vegetables. Parmesan is great for that. You get a lot of flavor for not that many calories.

    No weight loss foods. Anything that fits in my calories is okay.

    However, I'm eating these to help my cholesterol numbers:
    Oatmeal
    Almonds
    Walnuts
    Avocado
    Black olives
    Lentils and split peas
    Leafty greens (collards and kale)
    Takeout salads (red cabbage, celery, spinach, olives, cherry tomatoes, a dozen other things -- I choose fiber and plant fat like olives)
    Silk protein nutmilk
    Garlic salt instead of salad dressing
    Water

    Like other folks, I don't have any "diet" foods, but the things I eat most often are probably apples, peanut butter, and dark chocolate.

    Snack size fruit and vegetables - eg cherry tomatoes, mini cucumbers, mini peppers, clementines, fun size apples. I'm much more likely to eat it if it's cute and easy to grab. I'm just a big kid really.

    I don't have any particular "weight loss" foods; it wasn't until I stopped having that mindset, that I could finally manage my weight. Now I eat anything I like, and I like most foods - in fact, not worrying about not "eaing right", has made me more adventurous and willing to try new foods and stop compulsively overeating, and a healthy diet is a varied diet and appropriate amounts.

    I think she meant foods that you eat very often and/or foods that keep your hunger in check, but yes, I totally agree.

    I have really tried hard to think through what I base my diet around, but I can't, because I eat like I said, I eat almost everything :p That's a way of eating that seems to keep me satisfied - not just mentally, from the variety in taste, colors, etc - I have noticed that whenever I eat something new or something I haven't had for a while, I tend to feel more full for the same amount of food. Like my body really liked the different range of nutrition I just gave it.
