    I have this rule that I have to eat everything in my fridge/cabinets before I can go shopping. These are the things that I can't live without:

    Pink lady apples, romaine lettuce, Oikos organic greek yogurt, GG Bran crispbread crackers, F-Factor cereal and bars, Fiber Gourmet pasta, Tazo Zen green tea, organic frozen fruit, olives, pecorino romano cheese, lemons. I need rehab for my lemon addiction.

    I tend to be one of those "last meal" type of people so I just started portioning out Pop chips and Kind bars (only half per snack) and trying to eat those when I need a salty/sweet snack.

    I’ve just started and am having trouble eating my daily quota of protein – came to this forum looking for protein tips. Also having trouble with fiber – as I’ve increased protein my fiber seems to be decreasing. Thanks to everyone who is posting!

    MY LIST thus far (open for more protein tips and increased fiber):
    Eggs
    Chicken
    Tuna
    Beans (red, kidney, black)
    Chobani greek yogurt (have started buying the plain – higher protein)
    Skinny Cow lowfat icecream sandwiches
    Frozen non-sugared berries (have also been looking for frozen rhubarb)
    Half-n-half for coffee (fat version)
    Skim Milk
    Mini Babybel Light (I get the big bag at Costco)
    Apples
    Bananas
    Natural Peanut Butter
    Frozen veggies (the steam bags)
    Orowheat - Double Fiber English Muffin
    Jolly Time 100 Calorie Healthy Pop Butter 94% Fat Free (may move to popping my own)
    Quinoa (just starting on this)
    Coffee, strong
    Premier Nutrition - High Protein Vanilla Shake (30 grams of protein – get from Costco)
    Muscle Milk Light Chocolate Nutritional Shake (20 grams of protein– get from Costco)

    I’ve just started and am having trouble eating my daily quota of protein – came to this forum looking for protein tips. Also having trouble with fiber – as I’ve increased protein my fiber seems to be decreasing. Thanks to everyone who is posting!

    I've started eating lentils just this year, and I love them, especially French green lentils. :)

    Lentils may help boost both your fiber and protein content. (And they are easy to prepare.)

    Some of the staples always on my list are:

    Skim milk
    eggs
    bananas
    watermelon/strawberries (or whatever is in season)
    bell peppers
    celery
    chicken breast - boneless/skinless
    peanut butter
    Breyer's Natural Vanilla ice cream

    I know the last item will raise eyebrows. I'm not going to kid myself and say I will never eat ice cream again. I am learning portion control. AND, I make allowances during the day if I want to have ice cream in the evening.

    no raised eye brows here...yum!

    I second that yum!
