Foods I have found that help me stay on track :)
Replies
-
fresh fruit
greek yogurt
chicken breast
boiled eggs
salad packs (hey, look, here's my dinner, or at least something to make my quick stuff healthier when I am starving)
granola bars or protein bars I like most kinds but try to choose the ones with under 100 cal0 -
Skinnytaste deviled eggs are awesome snack item for me.
I'm looking this up!0 -
popcorn
seaweed snacks
sparkling flavored water - love La Croix, no calories
various nuts
sweet potato chips
popchips
single serving canned/pouch salmon
triscuits
lemon/lime
spices
jalapenos
homemade wraps - easy to make & control calories
crystal light lemonade0 -
Also, Fiber One brownies, warmed up with a scoop of frozen Lite Cool Whip on top!
that sounds amazing!
I have both of those at home, why didn't I ever think of that?!?
Gonna try that when I get home from work today.
thanks for the post
and I didn't even have to bump because I actually had something to say... yay!0 -
BUMP
Good one OP, instead of the odd bump in your thread now there is a discussion about what bump means running throughout it, surely that is more annoying lol.0 -
pb2! I cannot get enough peanut butter in my life0
-
MiO
Cottage cheese0 -
Very dark chocolate - like 85% or more. I dunk it in a cup of hot cocoa - cocoa powder (sugar free) hot water and a bit of milk and let it melt in my mouth - keeps the chocolate cravings away and makes me happy
(and on the bump thing - MFP really does need to put a follow thread or bookmark on this board - I totally agree with the OP that if you are looking for what seems like interesting information - and this thread is - then getting pages of people saying "bump" is really unhelpful and annoying)0 -
Wow lol. Educational thread. I learned a lot. Bump de bump. Rofl.0

-Papaya
-Royal gala apples
-Jacket potato0 -
Bump.. my contribution, weight watchers yogurts, all around 60 calories each, Asda fresh bagged turnip, 13/100, Alpen light granola bars 63 cals each fresh soups from Asda/Morrisons/Sainsbury, best one is carrot and corainder from Asda 70 / 300g.0

For me : -
Blueberries
Boiled Eggs ( loving duck eggs right now and very filling)
Fage 0% Greek Yoghurt
Wild Alaskan Salmon
Poached Salmon
Protein Powder (though oddly finding that casein protein powder is nowhere near as satiating as whey protein)
85% dark chocolate (relatively safe for me to have around as I don't like it enough to binge on it)
Green And Blacks Hot Chocolate (made with water)
Pears (usually replaces dessert)
Nakd bars ( instead of protein bars, no added sugar, just raw fruit and nut)
Cottage Cheese (I find a 200g tub really fills me up)0 -
weirdly enough - parmesan (fresh shaved from block). Rather than having large lump of cheese, 5-10g of this makes for a stronger cheesy flavour with much fewer calories/satfat/sodium. Very good with rocket and balsamic vinegar.
Fresh fruit - at the moment mostly berries/nectarines/kiwi fruits. But whatever the greengrocer has on offer.
Total 0% greek yoghurt - helps bump up protein without fat
Almond milk - only brought a couple of days ago but loving it as I can't have too much dairy without getting ill and this is the first substitute I've found that I really like.
Thinly sliced salami - I like stronger tasting foods and this gives me taste without too many calories as its so thin its practically see through and I only have 2 slices.
Frozen spinach - I chuck it in all my curries and spicy stews and no one complains because it basically disappears. Adds veg and especially iron with out a fuss.
Spices and fresh herbs - I can't eat bland food and neither will my dh/kids so this adds flavour without the calories.
Nuts - just 3 or 4 brazil nuts as a snack or 10g of slivered almonds on top of my fruit salad gives a nice crunchy protein hit.0 -
Bookmark for later0

Special K 100 calorie bars Also the special k cracker chips are really good. Anyone have anything for chocolate cravings? :happy:0

:flowerforyou: Bump0

I was craving something sweet last night and had leftover calories. I toasted a whole wheat oro rounds and put Nutella on them. I ate all of it, 100 +200 but if you just eat 1 slice and 1 tablespoon its not bad for 150. It def satisfied my sweet tooth. Oh, had fat free milk too. And still stayed under goal for the day. Better than a Little Debbie.0

snap peas
salmon
flat out wraps!!!!!!! I use them for pizza crust and make a low cal pizza
eggs (any way you can make them)
oranges
almonds
broccoli
weight watchers and skinny cow ice cream bars
cream cheese
raw spinach
100 cal. pop corn0 -
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.
.
oo this sounds yummy will have to try this thanks0 -
- Coconut yogurt
OH I need to find out where to get this from!?
You can make your own with Easiyo - yummy add to chocolate granola - can pretend it's a Bounty bar
my favorite is nature valley chewy fruit and nut bar 118 calories and reminds me of a cadbury's pinic bar (without chocolate)0 -
great list!0
-
Nuts are a good snack, but you have to be careful which ones you choose. I go for raw almonds.0
-
zip fizz is awesome, it has only 10 calories but provides alot of nutrients so many you would have to consume 6,000 calories just to get its nutrients, i talk to the zip fizz lady to much lol but it fizzy so it kinda tricks you thinking its something like a soda but its just enhanced water0

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.
People say bump to get your post more popular by giving the impression that lots of people are commenting on it. But in reality, there is just 8 pages of the word BUMP and 3 or 4 real comments. It's annoying.
LOL.. Now half of your pages are explaining why people BUMP a thread.0 -
I came to be the jerk that said...BUMP but she already deactivated her account. Waaahhh!
But to contribute to these great ideas I love tilapia. Seriously has become my second favorite fish after salmon. Pan fried in a bit of olive oil and the tiniest pat of butter w lemon juice and pepper. Mmmmmmm0 -
Foods that help keep me on track:
1) low carb tortillas - 71 cals each
2) fully cooked bacon - 70 cals for 4 strips and it adds so much flavor
3) fruit, fruit and more fruit
4) texas pete hot sauce
5) laughing cow cheese wedges
6) egg beaters
7) Nature's Own bread - 40 cals each
8) Special K strawberry fruit crisps - 100 cals and they curb my sweet cravings
9) Sensible Portions vegetable or potato straws - they curb my salty cravings
10) diet ginger ale and fresca0
