Tofu--inexpensive compared to meat.

I concur about peanut butter. If on the go get the jif to go snack sizes so u can put in your purse or backpack and take anywhere. Much cheaper than protein bars. Each snack size tube is 250 calories and it's pretty healthy, especially the jif natural PB snack packs. You can dip veggies, fruit, crackers. I also sometimes…

Cycling. I don't know about slimming down but the best my legs ever looked was when I was using the stationary bike at the gym regularly. My sister was a runner and built up huge calves so I didn't want that and chose to cycle a lot.

I think it is about finding a plan that works for you not temporarily, but something that you can commit to long-term, because weight loss is a lifestyle.
