    fat free milk, eggs, cheese, whole wheat bread, chicken and turkey in bulk, occassionally steak and pork for the man, frozen broccoli, ect. Apples are a MUST. Sometimes bananas, different types of nuts, ect. I tend to get bored with my snacks and if I do, I'll neglect them and they go bad >_<
    So I have to plan whatever kind of snack I have been craving.

    I don't eat meat, so I always need a lot of fish to get up my protein levels.
    I've always just stuck with 'safe options' like tuna and salmon, but one on my new years resolutions is to try more things!
    I had some sea bass the other day, which was amazing, so basically I trying to have one fish per week I haven't tried before:')
    I eat a lot of salad and veggies, absolutely love celery, beetroot and pomegranates.
    Sweet potatoes:')
    Love eggs too, and they're so good for you!
    So, my must haves!:)xo

    I would eliminate the deli meat. It's extremely high in sodium plus other unhealthy additives. Avoid all lunch and deli meats at all costs. Also consider trying Almond Milk. It has zero sugars and is very healthy (get the original). Also on my own must-have list is organic low or no fat sour cream and cottage cheese. I also buy 80 percent dark chocolate and mix one small piece in my morning shake. It's very good for the heart and blood pressure.

    Perhaps you are referring to this?
    ...I have recently been eating hard boiled egg whites whenever I'm hungry between meals, and they're only 17 calories...

    I do that too!! Instead of eating ice cream, I'll throw a banana in the freezer and wait for it to get cold and a lil harder. It's also great if you mash it up and stir in a lil honey. Yummmm.

    I am concerned about sodium, also. Sam's Club has a brand called Castlewood Reserve - the Herb Roasted Turkey Breast is 58% lower in sodium than most other seasoned turkey breast. It still has enough - 10% of daily recommendation for 2 ounces. But it tastes great. I love the chocolate idea, too.
