Low fat string cheese, eggs, the tuna salad already made in a little packet... great when you're on the run. I do buy the Protein Drinks for when I'm on the run, too. Starting to sound like I run too much. Oh, and love the sugar free popsicles!

eggs eggs and eggs.I love hardboiled eggs - hot, cold, on toast, on crackers, on a salad, as a snack.< /p>

I'm always just popping over the supermarket to buy the ingredients for another slow cooker creation. I love meals out of my slow cooker, moist, easy to eat, set and forget for the day. Today there's a huge vegetable lasagna bubbling away - fresh broccoli, cauli, mushrooms, zucchini, carrots and spinach, with a low fat ricotta cheese sauce, Tomato Pasta sauce and mozarella, mmmmm.

For work lunches I buy a variety of crackers, and dips like hummus, or basil pesto, and I just take the box and the dip to work and nibble at it every day.

I'm always buying Soup ingredients, too. I make loads of Soup, its my other work lunch staple. I fill them with Beans, fresh vegies etc. Made an awesome batch of pea and ham soup the other day - sooo healthy.

I LOVE thw Dannon brand of Greek Yougurt....the blueberry has become my staple food !!!

Thanks for all the advice. I picked up some turkey meatballs, turkey pepperonis and my usuals. I keep trying the greek yogurt but I just can't stand it. The only kind I could actually eat was chobani honey but I had to put extra honey in it just to get it down, I think that defeated the purpose though. I need to find some new foods. I tried the turkey pepperoni chips, and they were pretty good. I dipped mine in Boursin Light cheese. I also have been making a lot fo Kale, which is really good but I'm afraid that wont work once I get my first fill. Thanks again for all the suggestions. Keep'em coming if you have new/more ideas.
