Chocolate. I have a piece or two most days, but every time I eat one, I have to actively tell myself "one piece"

For me, it's: Pesto Pitas Chickpeas of some nature (dried, hummus, fresh, etc) Uncured hot dogs (family favorite) Chicken

I do not eat a low carb / high fat diet, as it made my cholesterol go up the roof (I do full screens every year, and I followed this way of eating for the three months prior to my physical). That said, if you have high blood sugar, this diet can be a miracle. My dad actually was diagnosed with diabetes and doesn't even…

Trader Joe's vanilla and Cream yogurt. The calories were high, but oh my gosh, it tasted like dessert. I'm glad I tried one.

I try to avoid most of these things. I think there's some merit to them not being great for you - especially nitrates and smoking meats. I actively attempt to avoid GMOs and hormones. I'm not perfect, but I feel good about reducing my intake of all items on this list (except Alcohol - you can't make me give up the *maybe*…

I'm not a Seahawks OR Patriots fan, LOL, but this is amazing.

Beef is absurd. I can find decent prices on chicken, but seafood here is getting crazy too. $4.99 is now the sale price for Tilapia filets - with full price being up at $9.99-14.99. Pork is expensive unless you get crappy, fatty cuts. Ground pork is still affordable at our local Asian market. Forget it if you're wanting to…

Coupon if you can!! There are great deals to be had on canned veggies and even frozen if you can stock up. I'm a big fan of clearance shopping and couponing

These are all great ideas - thank you all so so much!!! @oncem0re - I love your oatmeal idea! I'm a huge fan of oatmeal - usually because it is so "stick to your ribs" - and I've forgotten all about it! I'm usually trying to get some yogurt in in the mornings to up my dairy/calcium - if I can almost guarantee I'll feel…

That's exactly why I made it public - hoping for advice! You're right. Pesto is one of my Favorite foods - and while it can be healthy, it's also high in calories and spread like. It doesn't add a ton of volume. I find the fats keep me satisfied a bit, but it's certainly worth trying cutting things like that out…

That makes so much sense, lol. Honestly, I'm not sure I even counted drink calories in college. I'm in the exact same boat - needing more than I required back then. But nowadays, I work all day, work out, keep up a house, etc. Maybe that's just exactly what it is.

Thank you all so much for the advice. I'm definitely not aiming for 1000 calories - just shocked I'm that high before dinner :-) my goal is set at 1440, and I'm aiming for 1400-1600. I am struggling to save calories for dinner, lol. I'm taking everything mentioned here to heart and I so appreciate it

I'm currently obsessed with whole wheat pitas with lemon pepper tuna, pesto, and feta spread.

When I was in college, I was a firm, stupid believer in: half a meal replacement bar in the morning, workout like crazy, half a meal replacement bar for lunch, class, healthy choice meal for dinner. *sigh* I've done master cleanse. Honestly, that wasn't nearly as bad or stupid as the college days - and that's saying…

I love these ideas - thanks guys! I really want to aim to eat healthier for me - because I'm tired of feeling tired, honestly. I know it's a lot of changes to revamp my eating, but I really want that - even more than weight loss. I want to feel good about what I put in my body. Truthfully, I'm a little skeptical about the…
