    skinless chicken breast,produce produce produce, cottage cheese if you like it. I love a half cup low fat cottage cheese mixed with half c sliced pears in juice. I also have changed from white bread to Arnolds 100% wheat sandwich slims. 100 cal. I actually have been inspired to try ground turkey and veggieburgers but haven't done it yet. Good luck!

    Dont buy ANYTHING that has a ton of preservatives!

    Try

    Dried beans ( all kinds! )
    Fresh or Frozen Veggies
    Lean meats
    eggs
    Skim Milk
    Almond (unsweetened) milk ( if you like it)
    Whole Grain bread

    Check nutrition label info and stay away from High calorie packaged/prepared foods!

    I love greek yogurt. It is yummy and has higher protein count per serving size. Also love fresh fruit, and salads, and lean meats. No lunch meat or hot dogs, the sodium kills me!

    Stay on the parameter of the store and try to avoid going down the aisles. Fresh fruits, veges (frozen is good, too), skim milk, yogurt (watch the sugar), low fat cheese, lean meats - especially lean ground turkey and fish.

    If you don't like produce, it may be a good time to try it again. Try a baked sweet potato or get a lowfat wheat pizza crust and make a veggie pizza. Just try something new every week until you find something that you really like. Good luck. :)

    Sounds like you are in a rut. Hate to tell you but maybe it is time you tried some of these other foods again with an open mind. You can eat things that simulate processed foods but are said to be "lite" (many seem to be packed with artificial sweeteners, salt and things I have problems pronouncing) and/or you can try and eat simple healthy foods! Try some different cooking techniques and flavorings. Broaden your horizons! Maybe you can find something new you like.:smile:

    How do you prepare your cauliflower? Is it the same every night? And you don't like ANY other veggies prepared in any way? Not lettuce, carrots, spinach, any kind of greens like kale or beet tops or chard, or things like fennel, eggplant, peas...? There is literally so many kinds of veggies out there and so, so many ways to prepare them that there has to be something else you find palatable.

    Honestly, it sounds like you are looking for an excuse to not eat healthy. You have literally shot down every idea that you have responded to. If you don't like veggies then eat fruit or try and cook cauliflower differently. And like someone else suggested, walk around the perimeter of the store and go crazy. Produce, yogurt, nuts (unsalted/sugared), chicken, lowfat cheese, lowfat milk, brown rice, sugar free jello. There are hundreds of good things that you can choose from...just avoid the candy/chip/cookie aisles.

    How about changing what you eat with the cauliflower? Hummus, low fat dips, quacamole. Brown rice. Quinoa, Millett. Steel cut oats can be made not just as breakfast but also can be made into something resembling rice pudding that goes for the millett too. Hard boiled eggs. How about making the spinach, cabbage, apple and pear smoothie with ginger and flax and water. Yummy believe it or not it is! Good Luck!

    Fruit smoothies? throw a banana, berries and yoghurt in a blender. Healthy pizza? Pizza toppings on a whole wheat pita, throw some veggies you don't care for on it ( peppers, onions, mushrooms, chopped spinach all of these finely chopped can be hidden) Maybe try your veggies broiled with different sauces. I hated celery for all my life till I added laughing cow cheese and green onions now its my favorite snack.

    To be frank, and not to be ugly... you sound a lot like my daughter. She's 6 and refuses everything.
    If the intent is to become healthy - you have to make sacrifices. Cook things differently. Try things out.
    Shop the perimeters of the grocery store.
    If you don't like something - try a new recipe.
    I don't understand the 'I hate everything, I try things all the time' mentality when trying to lose weight.
    I hated a lot of things I now eat. But I learned to make things in different ways and now I enjoy them.
    More than that? I enjoy being healthy.

    I don't like most vegetables

    It may be time to start learning to. A lot of people not liking veggies, imo, is how they are prepared.

    Some of my favorites:
    Steamed broccoli (Pictsweet Steamables are great - frozen section - just follow bag directions)
    red bell peppers (raw, chopped)
    celery with peanut butter
    baked sweet potato - poke with fork then bake for 1.5 hours

    It's all about an open mind and being willing to try things again :wink:

    How about salmon, tuna or tilapia for a new protein? Also, try tossing fresh veggies in a little olive oil and roasting in the oven. They caramelize and naturally sweeten the veggies! Yum! You can do almost any veggie this way, I roasted asparagus with a spritz of olive oil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for a friend that HATED asparagus. Now she is totally hooked.
