I have been on a plateau for the last nearly month. I have been trying, but I haven't been losing any weight.
So, I would like to know what you are all eating that is good, and low in calories and maybe high in protein. And it can't be bad to go over your protein limit, right?

    Stephen, you should check out the Special K line of products..............They have some really good tasting low cal. snack foods.
    If you have a sweet tooth the Fruit Crisp bars are really good, but if you are more of a salty snack guy, they also have these cracker chips that I swear taste like real potato chips.

    As for protien, I have recently switched from regular low fat yogurts to the greek low fat yogurts.........they are much higher in protein.
    They are thicker and more satisfying.

    i am all about trail mix right now! the only thing that sucks is you only get a handful or two as a serving, but it does tide me over for 2 hours once it settles.

    When I find myself plateauing, I try to add lots of food with high water content (watermelon, lettuce, etc). They keep me full and also usually have a lot of fiber. All of that seems to get me past the rough patches.

    My macros are 40/30/30 and I have found success eating 30% fat...I eat mono fat on every meal to keep me full...olive oil, nuts, seeds, olives, cheese, etc. I make it a priority to add fat to every meal.

    Pickled okra and pickled asparagus. Filling and low cal. I think something about the vinegar helps with weight loss too. May be a wives tale though. Anywho....I try to add some to my meals when I don't have a lot of calories left come dinner time or when I eat a salad.

    It can be bad to go over your protein limit for some people. If you have diabetes or another metabolic disorder, for example. Excess protein can strain your kidneys which may already be affected by these and other medical conditions. If you have any medical disease or disorder you should definitely check with your doctor.

    Some low calorie high protein sources are fish, lean meats, or eggs
