    Flavored branches chain amino acids... I add it to my water but it's zero calories so I feel like I'm having sugar

    Maybe try them scrambled? I get nauseated just eating them regular!
    Also rice and beans are great, and super filling.
    I also just pick up a variety of whatever meats have the best deals.
    Potatoes are cheap.

    Nothing specifically because I'm losing weight. They've always been staples.

    Oats, for porridge and overnight
    Milk
    Coffee/pods for the machine, depending how I'm making it
    Sugar for the half teaspoon in my coffee
    Honey for the oats
    Cordial (juice concentrate you add water to)

    I think that's it. I don't even take a list, I just read labels as I go to see if the calories are "worth it" that day/week. Otherwise anything goes.

    I was on your same position... Now I just chopped the whole egg in tiny pieces and add lime/lemon and it the yolk flavor kind of mixed with the whites and it tastes really good!
