@Nikki, Thanks for recipe, sounds yummy. Also love your profile picture, makes me smile.

My list includes;

Procal 100 shakes

50 cal. String cheese

Bananas- one of the few fruits I can eat regularly

Hard cooked eggs- with the yolks removed

Any salsa

Vegetarian baked beans and refried beans.

Okay, I know it's more than 3-5. I just really like food!

1. Egg beaters

2. Blueberries in Greek yogurt

3. Rotisserie chicken- I take the skin off, break it down and use it all week for quesadillas on whole wheat wraps, mix it up with Greek yogurt for chicken salad, or just have some with a veggie on the side.

4. Weight watchers string cheese

5. Quinoa- its a good replacement for anything with rice and keeps me feeling so full.

Side note: I could not live without the my fitness pal app. I don't think there have been any foods in there that I have no been able to find the calories for. It's the best way for me to hold myself accountable and keep track of what I'm eating. Lifesaver!!

@maddysgram - thank you, and you're welcome! :)

Thanks everyone...I definitely will be adding some if these foods to my shopping list!

1. Sweet Freedom Ice Cream Bars (2g sugar, no added sugar!)

2. Edamame

3. Apples/Bananas/Celery. A lot of fruits and veggies ha ha

4. Special K crackers

5. Slimfast low carb Protein shakes. If you are really watching sugar make sure you get the creamy chocolate and not creamy MILK chocolate. First one has 2g sugar, the other has 18g.

- trader Joe's southwest chicken quesadilla

- 99% fat free ground turkey mixed with southwest taco seasoning, salsa, red onion, and sour cream.

- light string cheese

- dannon Greek yogurt, Esp. The cherry flavor.

- healthy choice frozen Greek yogurt- 100 cal each.

If you have a Trader Joe's in your area, they have great band size portions in frozen foods and do not taste like traditional frozen items. I love TJ's!!!

Thanks for all of the ideas!

1. Egg beaters with some chopped ham and lite Swiss cheese

2. Fage Greek Yogurt- blueberry

3. Premier Prue Protein Bars or Detour low sugar protein bars

4. Trader Joes- frozen Wild Ginger-Soy Cod. Cooks in 5 minute in pan on stove - make green beans or zucchini to serve with it. It's so good and the package is small so it just serves my husband and me.

5. Tofu

6. Bariatric Advantage SugarFree calcium citerate chewy bite- Carmel flavor (this is my treat tastes like candy)

Most items I purchase at Costco

i cant live without ...... Bruce Aidells chicken teriyaki meatballs (already cooked ! Yummy!) , Oberto's turkey jerky, raw nuts, any protein bar, Boost protein drinks, frozen sf chocolate pudding, for when im craving ice cream. all of them have been lifesavers for me.

2. How many ounces are the enchilada sauce cans?
