I started using oats flour instead of all purpose flour and rice flour for lots of recipes. Now I have oats waffles and pancakes, I even substitute them in indian dishes like idle and dosa.0

bagels instead of bread! you dont really need an entire bagel to feel full, but eating only one slice of bread in a sandwich feels very lackluster2

Halo Top ice cream. It's low calorie and carb and freaking delish0

Shelled pistachios, they take time to eat and satisfy crunchy, salty cravings. I have a serving of those and a piece of dark chocolate every night. Also, 15-20 cal Popsicles and 40 cal Fudgesicles. Also, if I just need something "junky" Del Taco turkey tacos are my go to. I fully admit my entire strategy is nothing more than calories in/calories out. I have found getting bogged down in a bunch of strict "rules" for dieting doesn't work for me.1

I eat whatever I want it to. You can't look at this is a diet. diets suck you're constantly miserable and that's why you fail. I lost 80 pounds over an eight month. and I've been maintaining for about eight months.
During both phases I've still had Wendy's hamburger, pizza and beers on the beach if I had to give those things up I could have never done it. As crazy as this sounds losing the weight was the easiest thing I ever did and so is maintaining it. To lose the weight it's just a matter of eating less calories than your body Burns and be consistent.0 -
Switched my hamburger to turkey. 100% dong regret.1

Turkey, I realized how much I love turkey sandwiches. And the fact that turkey tacos taste the same as beef, so does chili! So love making those home made. Carrots with vegetable dip. (I mix light sour cream with hidden valley ranch packet seasoning) I meaure out the amount and love it. Also! Edy's slow churned ice cream, the mint chocolate chip is my favorite, but it's 110 for a serving of ice cream, although most times I have two, but it literally doesn't taste any different than regular, just a bit less calories, aka easier to fit into my day.
Other than that, it's not really a food but a strategy, I always try to log something I'm craving before I eat it. Sometimes, I figure it out and it's worth it, but equally as much or probably more I figure out it will take too much out of my day and find something else I want that works better. Basically, sometimes 700 calories of pizza seems worth it, other times it doesn't. Lol2 -

Strawberries. Thank god it's summer and berries are in season. My love for spinach salads with nothing but strawberries and a little drizzle of homemade balsamic vinegarette knows no limits. I eat a lot of spinach because of the strawberries..more than I would normally.
The tuna in the 70 calorie packets. It's so easy to make a quick tuna salad. I just use a pack, add a tablespoon or so of light olive-oil based mayo (gotta be Dukes), celery and dill. I could eat it every day.
Also, hardboiled eggs. I eat one every day around mid-morning and it keeps me full to lunch. I love eggs.

Good point. In the summer I eat these huge bowls of fruit/berries and wind up being full the rest of the night. I love when berries are in season0 -

You wouldn't want that. It takes a big chunk out of your calories if you're not careful. It's basically pure fat sweetened with artificial sweeteners and some added flavors like peanut butter and the like. They taste like dense sweets and some people use them on a ketogenic diet, but they can be hard to moderate if you end up liking them too much and end up eating the whole 1500 calorie recipe in one day1
