    Fish is meat. Sorry had to say it.

    LOL ... I always wonder why people often don't consider fish "meat". Fish are animals. Animals are meat. Therefore, fish are meat. :bigsmile:

    I have most of the foods in the lists above, but I also have Quark ( a very low fat cottage cheese) and for breakfast I make an egg white omelette with Quark, smoked salmon bits and spring onions. Yum!!!

    My must haves are fresh veggies (my current obsession is kale), apples, low sodium tuna, eggs, soy milk, frozen berries, chicken breast, lean ground turkey, lean cuts of steak (or bison), pork loin, brown rice, whole grain pasta, sprouted-grain bread, canned chickpeas and other beans, fat free cottage cheese, fat free greek yogurt, oatbran, flaxseed, oatmeal, and of course coffee. Also never without my David's Tea!

    P.S. I buy my meats from the local butcher shop and we also have excellent local honey, but I don't use honey often enough for it to be essential.

    I forgot to add avocados too! I used to hate them but I found, as I often do with foods I dislike, it's all in the way you prepare them. Great smoothie recipe with avocado on my blog.

    I love this post. Here are a few of my favs.:

    -Quakes flavored rice cakes (If you stick with the serving size they are not bad for a snack or if you have a sweet tooth- they come in chocolate, caramel, apple cinnamon, and cheddar flavors. There are other flavors too, but those are the ones I like.)

    -Almonds

    -Low-fat mozarella string cheese

    -Slim-fast chocolate shakes (quick to grab for breakfast or lunch)

    -Fiber one chocolate & oats bars

    -Baby carrots

    -Low-fat peach yogurt

    -Skinny cow ice cream bars or snack bars

    -Ground beef (low-fat)

    -Chicken breast

    -Bananas

    -Grapes

    That's all that comes to mind now.
    -Mesquite sliced turkey

    -Bran flakes
