What are your favorite "free" foods?
Especially now that it's getting chilly, I love Celestial Seasonings' Bengal Spice tea. The cinnamon makes it so sweet, I don't need to put any sweetener in.

In the last few days, I've tried really hard not to (sometimes I need to use 50 calories or so out of 400 to 500 exercise calories gained). What do you do? And what results are you seeing? I have 33…
