    in short if it comes in a box stay away. When you shop stay on the out side of the store it is where the fresh foods are. get alot vegetable and fruit.

    Fresh fruit (berries, cherries, apples, mangoes, etc.)
    Fresh veggies (celery, broccoli, kale, spinach, etc.)
    Lean meats (chicken thigh, chicken breast, fish, turkey, lean steak, pork chops, etc)
    Healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, olives, nuts)
    Whole carbs (sweet potato, oatmeal, wheat bran)

    There are endless examples. You can also keep things like hummus on hand to dip raw veggies into for a snack.

    You can't go wrong with vegetables and lean protein, some fruit (easy to overdo the fruit) and a bit of dairy and nuts. If it has sugar added my motto is put it back on the shelf ....looks better there than on my backside LOL.

    One of my fav things is greek yogurt. You can do so much with it, like berries, granola, honey, nuts...i also mix in nutella. You can also use it to make dips or salad dressings and its low in fat high in protein.

    hi bestie. :) ok so idk if you like almonds but i just started liking them and apparently they're healthy haha. good source of necessary fats and if you roast them in the oven they're warm and delicious. :) just not a lot of salt of course.

    Greek yoghurt! So tasty and so so good for you - mixed with berries at night as a snack is amazing!

    Also i eat fruit all day long like it is going out of fashion (kiwifruit, apples - all kinds, mandarins, grapes, nectarines), pretty much anything that is in season :).

    A good fast filler is dried fruit flakes (just be careful with portions), popcorn and i love cruskits with a slice of super slim cheese or some feta and tomatos :).

    In all honesty its just anything that you like, in the right portion and so long as its healthy.

    If you like almonds, than you have to try almond butter! It is so good on apples, and it holds you over. All you have to do get some roasted almonds and little olive oil and put them in a vita-mix or really good blender, until it is at the consistency that you prefer. YUM
