Hey everyone! I have a few food products that I love and make loosing weight a bit easier! I would also love to hear about yours! Knowledge is power!

-Brummel & Brown Yogurt Spread!- It tastes like butter, must try!!
-Welchs Reduced Sugar Jelly- tastes good and doesn't have artificial sweeteners
-Wonder Smart Wheat Bread- its a regular size piece of bread that is soft and tastes good only 50 calories a slice
-Cinnamon- add it to vanilla or plain Yogurt and use as fruit dip, add to Oatmeal, or just sprinkle on sliced Apple or Pear, it help maintain blood sugar!
-Friendly's Forbidden Chocolate Frozen Yogurt!- I hate the artificial taste of some low fat ice creams and frozen yogurts this does not have that! By far the best Ive ever had!
-Pepperidge Farm or Natures Own Deli Flats or Bagel Thins- great for mini pizzas or just to have with light cream cheese, lightly toast and add some Brummel & Brown Spread and a little cinnamon and sugar and it tastes like french toast!
-Special K bars
-Hellmans Low Fat Mayo (green lid) -best tasting low fat mayo and only has 15 calories per TBSP!
-Bordon 2% cheese- 50 calories each slice , melts great and doesn't have that rubbery taste!
-Frozen Fish- you can cook in the oven frozen and still tastes good!

This is all I can think of at the moment but I know theres more! Always looking for alternatives to high fat/calorie foods with no artificial sweeteners!

    I gave the spread to my dad (picky as hell) just put in in a glass dish at dinner so he didnt see the tub that says "made with yogurt", he had no idea, even went back for more!

    Safeway. Here is how a prepare them. Drain them and wash them with cold water. Boil them for around 3 minutes. Drain and squeeze out as much excess water as you can. Then I let them sit in the fridge overnight. The next day when I'm ready to eat them. I get a skillet hot with no oil or anything...just dry and "saute" them for a few minutes just to get them a little firmer. Voila!

    Arnold Fiber and Flaxseed Sandwich Thins - great for sandwiches, toast nicely, 100 calories

    Babybel Light Cheese Minis

    Salsa - my favorites are Trader Joe's salsa verde and Chi Chi's mild

    Skinny Cow No Sugar Added Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches

    Trader Joe's Harvest Grains Blend - Israeli style couscous, orzo, baby garbanzo Beans and red quinoa. 1/4 cup serving has 1 g fat (I usually leave out the butter it calls for in the recipe) and a little goes a long way.

    Jell-O Sugar Free LiveActive pudding - Milk Chocolate Bliss

    I second the tofu shirataki noodles, as well as their cousin, "miracle rice." The rice has no calories (made of insoluble fiber) and absorbs flavors well, though some may be put off by the texture. I wouldn't say the noodles are indistinguishable from real pasta, but I like the texture. Hey, for 20 cals or 0 cals for the noodles or rice respectively, it can't hurt to see if you like them.

    Also, If you live by a Meijer, they have a store version of the Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches that are ony 100 cals.

    Yogurt parfaits with 1cup fat free vanilla yogurt (Stonyfield), 2/3c granola with raisins (kroger brand), and 1/2cup raspberries keep me satisfied for half a day.

    Fiber one makes a bar that tastes like samoa girls scout cookies and are much more forgiving, "caramel coconut fudge."

    Lemon juice in my water.

    Spice packs! I love dressing up food with these babies, particularly for Indian dishes. Prepared correctly, you can get a ton of flavor for relatively little calories. Just watch the sodium. On a similar note, I use sriracha sauce to make things spicier and more satisfying for little calories.

    I've heard via-tops getting a lot of praise, but have not tried them myself.

    Great idea for a thread!
