Can't Live Without It

Here, I just keep copying and pasting this. I had emailed it to someone and have posted it before! hehe Hope it helps a little. These are some of my staples. Yes, whole, unprocessed foods are the best but when you can't always cook,these are some great ideas. I love to coat chicken breast with honey crunch wheat germ (that has a few herbs or spices in it). Good stuff!

reduced-fat triscuits with some reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese on top. Put them in the microwave until melted

Quaker corn bran cereal.

I like it for those times (which is everyday for me) that I just need to munch on something. I believe it's 120 cal per 1 cup serving.
I even take 1 cup to the movies instead of eating popcorn.
