    Our staples are turning into the following
    Broccoli
    Cauliflower
    Red Peppers
    Orange Peppers
    Carrots to be grated
    Cucumber
    with Grape Tomatoes

    Make that into a salad, no lettuce required, then as dressing mostly cottage cheese with a bit of FF Mircle Whip. One day I'm going to try cottage cheese with a strong rasberry basalmic vinigar. One day that I am brave.

    We also include fruits for snacks
    Honey pretzels
    Sin Snack is a sugary cereal like golden grams, but measured to make sure I stay with in the serving size.
    Dempsters flax bread
    Yogurt
    Boneless, skinless chicken
    Tuna, great for mixing with most things for added protien

    For the fruit thing - I don't love fruit (I like some fruit, but won't usually go out of my way to eat it) but to get the nutrients, I grate a whole apple into my oatmeal for breakfast with some cinnamon - At the moment I have instant apple and cinnamon oats in the single serve packets (so that I get used to the appropriate serving size) and just add the grated apple, but in the future will get plain oats and do this.

    So that's breakfast, and I usually get whatever vegies are in season and therefore cheap.. this time it was carrots, zucchini, celery, mushrooms, broccoli, cauli and onion.
    I always get canned tomatoes - some flavoured with spices and some plain (makes it easier when I can't think what to cook)
    I usually stock up on canned tuna, and "tuna in" which I think we only get here in NZ but it's basically tuna in sauce (green/red/yellow thai curry, italian tomato, rogan josh etc) and I have that with pasta or rice if I am pushed for time.
