      I used to dislike salad, until I learnt that I have to make healthy eating DELICIOUS! Everyday for lunch at work I had a selection of greens, topped with

      cherry tomatoes,
      tune in olive oil (I have found that the olive oil helps to keep me satiated)
      olives
      roasted pumpkin
      balsamic

      I also was putting a 30g mix of roasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds over as well (30g total of seeds) but during weight loss, I found that the tuna in olive oil made me feel more 'full' (previously I was having the seeds and tuna in springwater). Having both the seeds and tuna in olive oil made the salad tip the calorie mark a little higher than I am happy with. I am hopeful that one day I will reach that magical 'maintenance' phase and be able to have BOTH! YUM!

      I get so many comments by people at work about how yummy my salad looks :)

      Arugula with crumbled center cut bacon (25cal/slice), cherry tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and a poached egg.

      OR arugula, watermelon, and feta, drizzled with reduced balsamic and flavored with a twist or 2 of fresh ground black pepper.

      Best replacement topping for croutons is steam fried noodles.

      My fave salad is Snickers, but I haven't had it in ages.
      - colored, mini marshmallows
      - chopped apple with skin
      - Cool Whip
      - frozen Snickers bar (easier to cut into chunks)
