    I did a veggie challenge in March and found out that a lot of veggies steamed the night before and then just reheated the day of with a bit of salt and pepper were yummy. Summer squash, okra, broccoli, cauliflower, etc...edamame is good too. I generally though do greek yogurt with berries, hard boiled eggs, citrus (love citrus), almonds, peanut butter and apples or bananas, carrots, cucumbers, etc.

    I eat raw snap peas with Hummas. I like the Athernos brand Spicy Three Pepper Hummas... It's the bomb!

    Love hummus! Have a couple of recipes that I make in the beginning of the week sometimes and take veggies with me. I need to put that on my meal plan next week.

    We buy the packages of precooked chicken breast strips at Costco and often times just eat an ounce or two of that for a snack.

    We also will eat it in a whole grain/wheat tortilla with black beans, avocado, cucumber, lettuce and a few chicken breast strips, sometimes add a splash of hot sauce and/ or fat free sour cream.

    Peanutbutter and Chocolate protein bar w/ a half a banana.

    Celery and laughing cow or peanut butter or hummus..

    mozzarella cheese sticks made w/ 2% low fat milk

    are one of the biggest things my scale has ever had to face.

    never again.

    I think I may have 10 between now and when I die because of that hard-learned truth.

    What does this mean? What "hard-learned truth" are you talking about?

    I make lara bars. Google the recipe. But you need a food processor and they have lots of sugar because of the dates so I don't eat them often.

    Gotta love wasabi flavored almonds from Trader Joe's!

    I also love adding a scoop of protein powder to a cup of coffee. it's like a mocha, but very filling.

    I regularly have a lunch that is just a series of snacks spaced out across the day, typically:
    Carrot or celery sticks with dip (usually hummus, tzatziki or eggplant)
    An apple
    A handful of nuts (almonds, pecans, and walnuts)
    A hardboiled egg with dukkah
    Plain or Greek yogurt with berries or tinned peaches or apricots

    I pack it all (except the apple!) into my Nude Food Movers Snack Tubes (http://www.nudefoodmovers.com.au/Range/) and I'm good to go!

    laughing cow cheese wedges are good for dipping or adding flavor (I melt the queso ones and dip my veggies)

    You are my hero! I don't know why I never thought to do that!

    I eat 1/4 cup of unshelled pistachios every day. I eat them in the shells because it slows the eating down. Pistachio's are good for heart health.

    I might have to try this...I haven't tried pistachios more than once or twice in my life and I honestly can't remember the taste or the texture. I'll pick some up this week.
