    I have definitely been enjoying the snack sized cheese from black diamond. I eat one with my lunch meals as often as I can to get in my calcium.

    I also have a stack of 90 calorie kellogg granola bars to snack on in case i get really hungry

    Wegmans rice cakes: They are unlike any other rice cakes! I have some almost every day and I <3 them!
    Dannon fat free Greek yogurt: Fast lunch at work and high in protein
    Eggs- I fry one with non stick spray a couple of times a week for breakfast or lunch and have it on a slice of bread. It keeps me full!
    Snackwells white fudge popcorn- because if I don't have a "treat" I feel deprived!

    As with many others, I've added eggs. Never have I bought so many packages of eggs! I live them hardboiled or have egg whites for breakfast (scrambled, omelet or a breakfast sandwich). Even my daughters are hooked on hard boiled eggs right now!

    I've added alot more vegetables (fresh), too. Used to be just carrots, but now I have celery, broccoli, peppers (green and red), green beans, squash.

    Fage Nonfat greek yogurt - never would I have eaten this stuff before! Now, it's a great snack w/ some fruit and splenda or honey in it! Nice sweet snack for me.

    Protein powder - I usually have a chocolate protein shake every day. I like the consistency of it, helps w/ my sweet tooth and is filling.

    Eggs- I have ate eggs off and on but since mfp eggs have been more scene in my diary.
    Whole Grains- If I do buy pasta or spaghetti I make sure that its whole grain, brown rice is great too.
    Peanut butter- Love to have peanut butter before exercising, helps take away the hunger without filling me to full. =)

    Nutella - I usually have a little everyday for a chcolate fix
    Hardboiled eggs - eat 1-2 every morning, or sometimes as a pre workout snack
    Chicken Rings - they are lightly breaded and while they aren't the best I usually have them for dinner. If you want to see the nutrition facts you can look at my diary. They really aren't THAT bad.
    Disney Princess Vitamn gummies - If I'm having a sweet craving I just opt to take my vitamins then and that will satisfy it.

    eggs - never eaten so many
    spinach - defrosts quickly from frozen - add to eggs (with egg whites) and scramble - yummy!
    crackers - high baked water biscuits for when I get an attack of the munchies (like the popcorn idea though)

    quinoa - very versatile
    tomatoes



    Just attempted the 50 crunches - feel like I have given birth all over again - thanks Peanut! (But I did them - yay!!!!)


    I am not letting team purple down just because I had never done (ever, in my whole life) 50 crunches
    GO TEAM PURPLE!!!!

    Blue Bunny fudge pops-35 calories a piece! They're awesome for a sweet treat!

    Kiwi fruit-they're delicious! Possibly my favorite fruit.

    Silly as this sounds, coffee grounds and tea bags. Before MFP, I could drink a 2-liter of soda or more in a day. Now, I brew my own coffee and tea and sweeten them with Splenda.

    Marie's Blue Cheese yogurt dressing. I *love* blue cheese. Like, seriously. I love it. This yogurt dressing tastes great and doesn't pack nearly the punch of most blue cheese dressings.

    Eggs-hardboiled, scrambled (the microwave works great for a quick scrambled egg)
    Greek Yogurt-Love it with any fruit
    Cucumbers-I fell in love with cucumbers again! Raw with salt and pepper or a little salad dressing
    Frozen Veggies-I throw them into just about everything I make or I just warm them up and eat them alone

    I guess nothing I listed is actually a pantry staple! My pantry is rather empty these days, I am trying to eat mostly fresh foods (trying is the key word in there!)!

    Mine has to be any of the 100 calorie packs of just about anything! It is probably a mind over matter thing but I know when I am done with the bag that is the exact portion that I need and it allows me to not overeat.

    I Hate eggs...surprised that is what almost everyone has put up. GO Pink team!!!

    Oatmeal with cranberries or Bob's Red Mill 10 grain cereal for breakfast and a roast beef-hummus-lettuce wrap for lunch, every day I work. Keeps the planning under control, I only have to think about dinner.

    I'm with everyone else on the eggs, I love them hardboiled for a snack at work.

    I was actually already a big egg eater, but I still love my eggs!

    The new additions for me have been almonds/pistachios and coconut milk. Nuts are great quick, filling snacks and I just LOVE what adding some coconut milk does to the taste of my my morning protein shakes!

    PS: Yeah pink team!!!

    I'll have to try the almond milk, I've been horrified by how high-cal milk is! Where can you buy it and how much is it?

    Any grocery - if you get Unsweetened you save more calories and its better- the sweetened is VERY sweet.
