So many good ideas!
Someone asked about the blended veg soup recipe:
I don't make it the same way twice, but the general idea:
Saute chopped onion, chopped celery, and garlic in a bit of olive oil. Add chopped vegetables (carrots are good and sweet, butternut squash, cauliflower, any fairly mild veg). I also add 1 peeled potato, chopped every time. Saute a bit longer to bring out the flavors, then cover with low sodium chicken broth. Simmer until vegetables are tender. With an immersion blender, or in your blender in batches puree until very smooth. Add 1 to 1.5 cups of low fat milk to make it creamier. I usually can divide this recipe into 6 really good-sized servings and it calculates to about 150 cal/serving. But if you run it through a recipe calculator as you make it, then you can be more precise with calories each time. To make is REALLY tasty, saute the onion and garlic with a slice of turkey bacon and that adds a bit of smokiness to the soup without changing the cal/fat that much. Yum.... 0 -

I'm going to echo alot of what other people use, but...
1. Eggs. Not just scrambled, but in flourless desserts and pancakes.
2. Cheddar Cheese. Cheese in food is dangerous, but cheese on a plate is a lifesaver.
3. Frozen wild blueberries. They're small, sweet, and crunchy. Who could ask for more?
4. Trader Joe's "packaged" Indian food. Especially the vegetables.
5. Split red lentils. They cook in 20 minutes.
6. Roasted potatoes. When I want cake, its amazing what potatoes can do to scratch that itch.
7. Bacon Fat. It makes everything taste good.
8. Espresso. Tastes like chocolate.
9. Frozen spinach. When I'm missing a vegetable, spinach can be thrown into pretty much anything.
10. Red wine. Because life is for living.0 -
1 - Quinoa
2 - Agave Nectar (to replace the sugar or splenda in coffee/tea)
3 - Almond Milk
4 - Special K (I need a quick breakfast)
5 - Apples
6 - Celery with Laughing Cow Cheese (I could this as 1 as it's the only way I can eat either raw)
7 - Eggs
8 - Chicken
9 - Herbal Tea (add agave nectar and ice and it's a good substitute for juice or pop)
10 - Fish (tuna, halibut, salmon...i prefer fresh)
Avoid List:
1 - Chips...i'm sure the "i bet you can't eat just one" campaign was inspired by me
2 - Pop
3 - Microwave "diet" dinners (lean cuisine, etc)
4 - Anything that I have to force down...I don't care how healthy it is, if I don't like it i can't eat it - i'm looking at you yogurt
0 -
1. apples
2. spinach
3. lentils/barley

6. yogurt
7. prepackaged limited calorie meals/snacks (especially for travel)
8. popchips/ pretzel rods
9. beans
10. English muffins (because sometimes a little bread is a very good thing)

2. supportive walking shoes
3. a yoga mat and strap
4. water bottle(s)
5. sweat wicking exercise wear
6. prepacking left overs into appropriate portion sizes (for future lunch/dinners on the run)
7. controlling pantry contents to limit temptation
8. spending time outside (or at least outside of the kitchen)

10. mfp community (because counting alone has not worked for me.)0 -
Besides the lean meat, lots of water, and fresh fruits and veggies which are a given for me, here are some of my favorite ways to treat my tastebuds and stay on track.
1) Cliff and/or Luna bars (protien, fiber and calcium for those of us in the "over 40 crowd" I usually replace a meal every day with
one of these. If I'm saving up calories for something special, I might even replace breakfast and lunch. The mini version of
either of these also work well for a snack.
2) Subway Turkey Melt loaded w/ veggies ( again with the protein and fiber....winning combination for me)
3) My homemade Chicken fajita wrap .... can we say protein and fiber : )
( shredded chicken, corn, black beans, and diced tomatoes w/ seasong on a low carb/ high fiber tortilla)
4) Date night is ESSENTIAL so all thing Ruby Tuesday fit menu
5) Wheat thin Rosemary and Olive Oil crackers
6) Avacado (well....just makes anything taste better plus has those good fats our body needs)
7) All things Skinny Cow.... I try to make sure most of my treats include fiber ; )
8) Chipins popcorn chips (works well when the grandkids are snacking on real chips)
9) Like so many others I've read, I keep chocolate nearby just in case I can't fight the craving. I lean toward the mini peppermint
patties.
10) Fiber Plus cereal and bars. They are great for sweet cravings but still have good stuff your body needs.0 -
