    Make up a low cal jelly ( whatever flavour you prefer) with only 1 cup water. Allow to cool then beat through a tub of low fat cottage cheese. Mix some berries through and pour into a bowl, or into muffin pans - (silicone may be best to get them out easy.) Put in fridge to firm up. :)
    I also find low cal soup is good especially homemade with lots of vegies in it and keep single serves in the freezer.
    Sugar free chocolate/mocha drinks made up with hot water.
    Also smoothies made with skim milk/ low fat yoghurt/berries and a spoonfull of oats is filling. :)

    Please, NOBODY RESPOND BUMP. It's totally pointless and is unrelated to what I'm saying. If you do not have anything to say about food, GO AWAY.

    So if someone doesn't have anything to add, but would like to see what other people add they aren't welcome on the thread?
    THIS!!!!!Im sorry i thought you were sharing to give people ideas WOW

    That's exactly what I thought also....

    "Bumping" is way of adding the topic to your recent forum posts so you can see it in your threads later on, like maybe they dont have time to read the entire post now, but they would LOVE to be able to come back later and check it out more, especially when there are recommendations, recipes, or links. Its actually a compliment if someone finds your thread interesting enough to want to come back to it when they have the time.

    This is a really good topic. Too bad the OP had to go and get bratty about it.

    Emerald Cocoa Roast or Cinnamon Roast almonds. These are the best things ever! 15-20 of them is around 100 calories, has a few grams of protein, only 1 gram of sugar, and 4 carbs.

    Also, Fiber One brownies, warmed up with a scoop of frozen Lite Cool Whip on top!

    I literally allmost cried, when I went in the fridge yesterday and there weren't any eggs!

    Agree on the meat tenderizer for chicken! I mess around with chicken a LOT. One of my favorites: I slow cook a couple chicken breasts in a crock pot with cream of chicken soup (8 hrs on low). The shredded chicken is so moist and versitile--you don't even need the soup afterwards, I usually spoon a little bit onto the shredded chicken, but most of the broth (and thus any extra calories from the cream of chicken soup) goes down the drain.
    i've made chicken tacos (add a little taco seasoning), chicken salad (add celery pieces, light mayo and a little mustard), on spaghetti squash with some sauteed veggies, etc., etc....plus, it saves in the fridge really well, so I'll eat it for several days.

    Me, too! How disappointing!
    I guess her need to be a control freak was so overwhelming cause she had nearly an entire page of discussing the issue about bumping.

    For me its Special K cracker chips--sour cream and onion.

    yea i was confused to, but reading what everyone else has said now i see the use of the bump.....Maybe the topic originator misunderstood it as well.

    - Coconut yogurt - ohmygawdSODELICIOUS :D!! (Not to mention it's also soy free and dairy free)
    - Almond milk - either unsweetened or chocolate
    - Hummus
    - Herbal teas - I have become a tea-holic since joing MFP. I always drink it clear (meaning it's also next to no calories), perfect for satiating that craving for something sweet

    Just scanned your list and saw the Tropicana 50 listed. I don't buy juice, but a friend of mine told me those "50" juices are just the regular thing with added water. Much cheaper to buy frozen juice and add more water than usual. Looking to save you a few coins here! :-)
