    This recipe for chicken tortilla wraps is awesome. I've been making them for lunch, and they have great crunch, with a little kick (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/37795-chicken-tortilla-wraps).

    Also, I always used to eat white bread, but Sara Lee 100% Whole Grain 45 Calories and Delightful bread is awesome, and has turned me around to brown bread.

    Quaker Mini rice cakes come in a bunch of varieties and have been a great alternative to chips when I want something crunchy to snack on.

    Kellogg's fiber plus antioxidants chocolate chip chewy bar is a new favorite. It is like having a candy bar but only 120 calories and 9 grams of fiber. I am totally hooked.

    I am the same like am10484, The new Kellogg's Fiber Plus bars are great! Try the Dark Chocolate Almond also. I have one a day now. Very satisfying and healthy for you! 120 cal/5g fat/9g Fiber/2g protein. 35% of your daily fiber in one Bar.
    (I'm also hooked on White Cheddar Cheese Rice cakes... my evening snack with a cup of decaf Green Tea)

    A few:

    1. Menudo
    2. Toast with cottage cheese
    3. Juice
    4. Salmon
    5. Green Chili with Pork Neck Bones (no starches added) over rice
    6. Subway Club (could do with less sodium, but a decent sandwich for the calories)
    7. Coffee... OK, that one isn't new.

    I have fallen deeply in falafel love. Low calorie, filling, lots of fiber and protein, and the mix to make them is so incredibly cheap I can't believe it. A 2 dollar tub makes 25 falafels!

    Our Roasted Chickens. I strain hard to think of a better food in the world then a chicken roast that just came out of the oven (sans skin). Except maybe some fresh, New England Cod right off the boat broiled with a touch of butter/lemon pepper, garlic, and oregano. (we have a commercial dock right down the street and can get cod less then 4 hours old pretty much any day of the week)

    Falafel is basically chick peas, fava beans, onion, and spices ground into a paste. You then fry/bake the paste. Traditionally you serve it on middle eastern flatbread with lettuce, tomato, and tahini sauce (tahini is ground up sesame seeds... kind of like peanut butter).

    I tried making it on my own but without a food processor its difficult, so I opted to get mixes from the Lebanese store down the street from me (basically they do all the processing and mixing spices and then dry it out so you just add water). The mixes are all organic so there's nothing you wouldn't get if you made it yourself.

    All I can say is... so so so so good. I usually fry them up with olive oil, and then have one on a whole wheat burger bun with some ketchup and tahini. I suppose I should bake them, but they always come out less crispy that way. It's a treat :)

    Merita light wheat buns and boca burgers. lol no not as good as the real thing but still super yummy. Loaded down with tomato, onion, pickles, mustard a bit of ketchup and .5oz of fat free cheese. Great to have a "burger" with everyone. I even make butternut squash fries for the entire family as a side dish. :tongue:
