Almond butter and/or almonds, oatmeal, milk, bananas, salads, cherry tomatoes, plain yogurt, whole grain pitas, carrots, apples....

there is only one thing i dont get tired of and that is kashi go lean cereal mixed w/ part raisin bran crunch! I love this its sweet and last a long time and yum yum yum!

2 b0wls 0f fruit and fibre / weetabix

My "Must Haves"... are:

Quaker Weight Control oatmeal.... the Maple & Brown sugar flavor. 

Quaker (I really don't love the company, just these two things! lol)... 90 Calorie chocolate chunk granola bars.

Fiber One (the original kind) 1/2 cup a day! 14 grams of fiber baby!!

When I am going to be out and don't know if I'll have a healthy option for eating, I'll put a slimfast in my cooler bag with ice and bring it along to make sure I still eat every 3-4 hours and eat healthy!

For dessert, I have recently found Weight Watchers ice cream... the chocolate fudge brownie is TO DIE FOR and I have NO IDEA how they keep the calories/fat so low!!

Those are my trusty staples and stand by's for a consistant day or for a day when I need my favorite snacks!  I have just found the book Hungry Girl at costco and it is the best $9 I have spent in a while! The recipes are fun, different and even close to some of the old favorite "bad" things! =)

peacelovehominy, sorry didn't see your post before.  I'm assuming you're talking about beans being filling?  It really depends on how you eat them.  If I have them really flavored (with salsa) and a bit soupy and eat them with meat or rice, then it's really filling.  I try not to eat them the exact way every day and I alternate between black and pintos.  If I didn't do these things, then I'd feel like I was eating a diet food and not full.

I've taken a break from rice, though, because it was making me feel like I was eating diet food.  And a little bit of rice has a lot of calories! 

veggies..lettuces, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, bell peppers...

salsa and hot sauce and dijon mustard!  i love them..i dump alot on my veggies as a low cal dressing.

almonds and cashews..ill eat a few everyday

sugar free jello with non fat redi whipped topping as my dessert! 

Egg whites

Broccoli

Yogurt

Apples

Strawberries

Oatmeal

Those are my staples that I eat over and over again, pretty much every single day. 

egg whites from eggology for breakfast.  they have these on-the-go cups that you microwave for 95 seconds so there is no cooking spray or oil.  i usually add a little low fat cheese or avocado to them.  they are very tasty and i don't miss eating eggs at all.

veggie sandwich or simple burrito (no cheese) for lunch.

dinner varies - try to eat a small amount of carbs and more veggies and lean meat.

without fail i always eat an alpen summer fruits bar for breakfast, and for a midday snack. only 59cal + yummyyy!

Tomatoes and jogurt are two constants in my house. 

good question its good to see what everyone eats and see if you can pick up any tips.

Breakfast: 2 wheatgerm toast + reduced sugar jam. cup of tea.

midmorning: snackajacks caramel

dinner:1large egg white with salt + daddy sauce (sick i know)

after dinner: weightwatcher yogurt/frube

tea: fish/chicken with vegies or salad. no potatoes but maybe rice/lowcalchips.

dessert: pineapple/trifle if bought

snack: salt and vinegar snackajacks (obviously a fave of mine) + salsa

supper: 1 pack of revels if naughty but usually instant highlights hot choc and 2 wheatgerm toast with reduced sugar jam.

Beans, banans, beans, coffee, beans, onions, beans, coffee, beans, tuna, beans, garlic, beans, tomatoes, beans, beans and a side order of beans.

Breakfast: Special K Bar (90cal) and Dannon Light and Fit yogurt (blueberry is good)

Mid-morning snack: Handful of baked low fat wheat thins, few low fat  triscuits or perhaps some pretzel minis

Lunch: almost always a salad with grilled chicken

Afternoon snack: same as above

Dinner: turkey breast, roasted potatoes, zucchini

Snack/Dessert: handul of M&M's

94% fat-free popcorn pretty much every night after I get home from work. It's a relatively "good" snack and fills me up so I can put off dinner for an hour or so and take the time to prepare a good meal instead of just throwing something in the microwave because I'm starving.

I also have a Luna bar maybe every other day at about 3:00 so I don't head for the vending machine (love the Chocolate Peppermint Stick and S'mores flavors!).

Lastly, Edy's Fruit Bars - 30 cals each! I'll have one to "finish off" the day. It's sweet but not overpowerfully so and at 30 cals, it's a decent dessert and a good one for the summer, too.

Oh, wait! I almost forgot! Green tea! I'll have it at the office and at home whenever I'm like, "Gee, I feel like eating..." but I know I'm not actually hungry. It's like a mind-over-stomach thing, haha. :)

Things I've had almost every day this week:

English muffins, coffee, blueberries, honeydew, cantalope, peanut butter, whol e grain bread, sugar snow peas.. :)

Bfast - One Thomas Whole Grain English Muffin Lite, toasted, with .5 TBSP Brummel and Brown Spread,  Kiwi Fruit Sliced with 1/2 cup Yoplait Lite Vanilla Yogurt - about 250 calories

Lunch - Series of "Snacks" every 3 hours or so, consisting of fruit, veggie, and sandwich:

-3/4 cup raw sugar snap peas mixed with 3/x cup raw baby carrots

-1/2 cup sliced strawberries mixed with 1/2 cup sliced pineapple

-Tofu sandwich sliced in half (eat one half at a time - spread it out during the day!) 2 Slices multigrain toast (110 cals a piece), 1 slice of reduced fat cheddar cheese, 1.5 TBSP Garlic Hummus, 2 slices of tomato, romaine lettuce, and 1/5 package Nasoya Lite Tofu - about 350 calories. I alternate this sandwich with a carved turkey sandwich with the same bread, lettuce tomato cheese and dijon mustard. At first I wasn't making these sandwiches with cheese, but once I started, I noticed I was feeling significantly more full - I think that little bit of fat helps a lot with hunger! And cutting the sandwich in half and enjoying it two seperate times instead of once is key for me! I notice I eat slower and savor it more when I cut the portions to snack sizes. I also alternate flavors of hummus to keep it interesting.

Dinner varies. Usually some kind of salad with lean protein and lite or no dressing, or another sandwich but on a 70 calorie whole wheat wrap, or two servings of a cereal with fruit and skim milk.

I'll enjoy a sugar free jello pudding snack a few times a week for a desert treat as well.

Breakfast--Honey bunches of oats cereal with skim milk

Lunch--Garlic Tortilla wrap with tuna fish, lettuce and tomatoes.

Supper--well actually until tonight I was eating 3 Monterrey beef and bean burritos with light sour cream every night with lettuce and light salad dressing. After reading the calories and fat content on this I gave that up and tonight I had tuna fish sandwich on wheat bread with a bowl of tomato soup. Not sure if I want tuna fish twice in the same day.

For a snack light butter popcorn. It totaled about 1250 calories maybe a few more for today.

-an avocado, in sushi or on a veggie sandwich or even by itself, in guacamole, i just love them.

-cheese and crackers - but i want to stop eating cheese.

-coffee w/ soymilk.

-i also eat a lot of pasta, which i am trying to cut down on, and too many carbs
