    oats
    peanut butter
    Healthy Life light english muffins (HL is the only brand I've found that I actually like the taste)
    tuna
    salmon
    boneless, skinless chicken breast
    brown rice
    broccoli
    apples
    bananas
    string cheese
    almonds

    Those are a few that I can think of right off hand. I tend to get into a groove for a month or two and then I sort of switch things up. Right now I'm all about the Peanut Butter Oatmeal for breakfast:)

    What is peanut butter oatmeal...I'm assuming this is homeade? Share please!

    Hummus (and whole wheat pita) every time I go.

    Speaking of, I need to make a mid-week grocery store stop for a tomato, avocado, and some strawberries.

    I have recently discovered freeze-dried fruit! So easy and low-calorie.
    individual size bags of nuts, dried fruit, chips
    shirataki noodles

    what are shirataki noodles?
    i know rice noodles are awesome.

    They're made from tofu. I've only gotten House Foods brand, and they come in spaghetti, angel hair and fettuccine style. Don't smell them when you open the package! Just a warning. :smile:

    I don't see anything different from my list that other people posted, so I won't post a list. I think someone asked what Wasa crackers are. They're a crispbread. They come in different flavors and they're about 40 cals. I don't know about the others, but the whole grain ones don't have any added sugar. I used to have one with a lite laughing cow cheese wedge spread on it as a snack. Great post with lots of great ideas!

    Total 0 greek yogurt
    carrots
    Ryvita
    skimmed milk
    and HUGE quantities of salad.
    That's about it
    I have ordered some shiritaki noodles from Amazon, hope they turn out to be as good as everyone says, as it's not a cost effective way of shopping!
    I am a very boring eater.

    There are some awesome ideas on here :) makes me feel like a boring eater!! My grocery list usually has:

    Chicken
    Salmon
    Shrimp
    Tilapia
    String cheese
    Yogurt
    Low fat/fat free cheese (shredded and sliced)
    Sara Lee Delightful bread
    Potatoes
    Asparagus
    Green been
    Corn
    Broccoli
    Cauliflower
    Apples
    Bananas
    Grapes
    Peaches
    Oranges
    Clementines
    Carrots
    Tomatoes
    Spinach/salad mix

    Or some variation on that.

    And I have a good single pizza recipe...using low carb Flat Out Bread, Canadian Bacon, fat free shredded Mozarella cheese, and low fat pizza sauce. Comes out to about 230 calories. Not pizza exactly but definitely a suitable replacement considering how big it is and how much healthier it is than the real thing! My other recipe is a modified chile relleno. Don't bread it, and bake it instead. Lots of flavor with the only significant calories coming from the cheese.
