I usually buy the basics, meat, fish, veggies, fruits,etc... My problem is snacks, what are your healthy snacks? I am going grocery shopping this afternoon and need some ideas or I will just be looking at stuff and throwing it back on the shelf to come home with nothing. :) lol

Also what are your favorite healthy meals? I like meal plans.

    Why can't your fruits and veggies also be your snacks?

    I love cottage cheese with fruit, or make it savory with cherry tomatoes and lil pepper. The protein fills me up and wards off hunger. peanut butter and apples are good. Good luck!

    I always munch on them, but it is nice to have something else too, a change but a healthy change.

    My snacks usually are raw nuts (almonds, cashew, walnuts) and a piece of fruit. Nonfat plain Greek yogurt with a litte agave. Of late, I have been having peanut butter & jam sandwich on whole wheat bread.

    I just try to have most of the food be unprocessed.

    I like plain yogurt with blueberries. I'll often sprinkle a seed mixture on them to add fibre.

    Or a Rye Crisp with peanut butter.

    Raw Almonds- when you get home divide them in small ziploc bags so they are ready to go and you control your portions

    Eggs- Boil a dozen and put 3 in each ziploc (i only eat the whites with a little bit of salt). OR make quick egg salad with 3 whites and 1 yolk and 2 tablespoon of light miracle whip, season and put in whole wheat toasted sandwich flats.

    Greek Yogurt- my new favorite thing. I get the plain kind and add my own fruit. it has sooo much protein.

    100 cal popcorn bags- fun, easy, quick

    Jerky- protein and it take work to eat so it keeps my busy for a bit

    cheese and crackers- I like laughing cow or any light cheese wtih Triscuits for lots of filling fiber

    For snacks I love the single serve packs of Hummus...Hannah brand (I find it at Costco) only has 60 cals each and I dip with carrot sticks. Vita tops are great for a sweet snack for 100 cals. or peanut butter on pretty much anything (celery, apple, on a spoon lol)!

    As far as meals go, A go-to breakfast for me is a dannon light yogurt with 1/2 fiber one mixed in and sometimes 1/2 a sliced banana. For lunches and dinners i'll often buy a bag of frozen stir fry veggies and cook it up (I'm a veggie, so I use meat substitutes or tofu, but you could do the same with chicken breast--really easy if you already have it cooked and sliced in the fridge). I will also buy a Fresh Express salad kit and have that for a meal.

    Good luck--you'll start to find things that you really enjoy and create your own easy 'go-tos' and quick tricks to have everything ready and easy for meal prepping and planning.

    Kiwis, roasted seaweed sheets, string cheese (50 cal each), almonds (not too many or I eat them all). Sometimes I make myself a half an open-faced sandwich. I also like AK-MAK crackers--whole wheat and fairly low-cal. Another good snack is sliced cucumber with lump crab meat (expensive or I'd do it all the time ha ha ha!). A really decadent treat is Greek yogurt mixed with Hershey's cocoa powder. OMG! Totally sinful!

    I like almonds, cabot 50% cheese snacks, ry krisp crackers with laughing cow or even a slice of turkey (deli) and cheese,
    peanut butter celery, and Luna protein bars. I try to include protein in most snacks because it satisfies me more than carbs alone.
