Looking for new food ideas... please help Im 8 months out and getting burned out...ty

I know this sounds crazy but my "go to" is Extra Lean Turkey franks, (50 calls each) mini babybel cheese LIGHT (50 cals) and 100 calorie guacamole packs with cut up green, red peppers and cucumbers as "chips." I also love homemade vegetable Soup and chili. string cheese. I also found EAS shakes that are only 110 calories, great taste and 17 grams Protein. I add a cup of coffee, ice chips and "nurse it" for a couple of hours. Also, the "Eggface" protein bites made in mini cupcake tins with eggs, cheese and veggies are great to have on hand.

Not sure where you are on your food phases (how many carbs you're eating, etc), but I'm a year out and in maintenance. So my grocery lists are a little like this usually:

Rotisserie chicken

Veggies to make salads

Feta cheese for the rotisserie chicken salads

Hidden valley ranch packet and light sour cream to make veggie dip

Sargento reduced fat Colby Jack string cheese (60 cals)

Boars Head turkey pepperoni

Fiber One Cereal (I eat this for Breakfast daily now)

Skim milk (only for the cereal)

Crystal Farms brand three cheese omelets (240 cals) I eat them on occasion, once every two weeks or so

A few Amy's brand organic meals (kind of high in sodium, but I like them when I'm in a pinch)

High fiber/low carb tortillas

Deli meat

Luna blueberry/vanilla fiber bars

Lots of vegetables

Maybe a couple pieces of fruit, but I don't really like fruit, so usually not

Ground turkey

Chicken breasts for stir frys

Brown rice

Do you ever use Greek yogurt for the dip instead, I'm not up on cals. Does sour cream have less?

Also, have you ever tried the 100 cal packs of wholly guacamole ( I actually like the walmart brand better). It is excellent for dipping veggies in and a good fat.

Yeah, I do the lower cal lean cuisine or smart one meals a few times a week too. Like 230 cals or so since I'm 3 plus years out.

I eat Special K Protein cereal with soy or skim milk ( just enough to "wet" it. some mornings

I love mini babybel light cheeses. 50 cals. And sometimes just grab a couple of these for breakfast.

I don't use Greek yogurt. I hate all yogurt unfortunately. Same for guacamole. I want to like it so badly, but I just don't!
