    Thanks for the list the they don't do a lot of those things over here. Other things i have found are good are:

    Slim a soup cup a soup 56cal
    Highlights hotchocolate 40cal
    Low fat yoghurt
    Sugar free jelly 10cal

    Can't think of any more for the moment but I find that filling up on vegetables helps a lot.

    I have often wondered about the MIO . What is your favorite flavor?

    I like the berry pomegranate. I don't like really sweet drinks and I can control the amount I use for just a little flavor.

    When I need some added protein, I reach for beef jerky. The one I use has 60 cals and 12 grams of protein.

    I suddenly felt an overwhelming need for eggs. They were so much a part of my life while LCing, and I hadn't had any for couple of weeks.

    So after 2 lovely poached eggs with salt, pepper and mixed herbs I feel so happy.

    I think I need a protein day. Tonight I will have a pork chop. :wink:

    Chicken tenders. I've been cooking up a package of raw tenders - poach them in a big skillet with chicken broth and seasonings. Cook 20-25 mins, cool a bit, slice as thinly as I can, and I can have a high protein satisfying snack or make it a meal. Am also loving baby dill pickles and Kimchee lately.

    Today is my first down day and I am going to try 3 cups homemade raw carrot juice (300 cal) spread thru out the day and maybe a green smoothie (spinach and frozen fruit about 150 cal) and a few cups of coffee at 20 cals each :>

    In the past the only time I have reached my goal weight was when because of health issues I had to eat a very high raw diet, lots of fruit and veggies. i lost weight because I was so satisfied on very few calories. I'm going to try to juice on my down days and see if it works this time :>
