Have you found a great food product that has made your weight loss journey easier? Please share. Include nutrition info.

Cool, let me know how it works out for you, my friends and I love that stuff. I know at first it seems pricey but once you calculate it out per day and per meal and winds up being cheaper.

:bored::angry:to costly...there are other little items but must really take a tour of your local supermarkets... I found this unreal baby food of pears.....omg delicious...stage 3 and i just add cinamin........i buy little hummas at 60 calories....get those at costco....SEARCH and you will find:wink2::wink2:

I understand the appeal of cheap baby food but if you read the article from the link below you will see that baby food has little if any nutritional value. I hope you are also factoring in the amount of sugar those types of food have in them.

Cheating babies - most of Gerber's baby food products have poor nutritional value, despite misleading advertising claims - Brief Article | Nutrition Action Healthletter | Find Articles at BNET

Just know the nutritional value of that type of food before you start stepping backward instead of making progress in the weight loss journey.

It's not a meal or food, per se, but the fat free, low cal powedered butter substitutes have been very helpful for me.

I switched to things like Egg Beaters instead of whole eggs and a sprinkle of the faux butter and I can't tell the difference.

I love peach baby food. I take a teaspoon or two and add to my fat free yogort, not for nutrition, but it really makes it taste delicious. Never counted how many calories, but I don't think it's very much. Usually a couple of jars will last the week. I have also heard people use this on toast instead of jams. At WW's we used fruit baby food all the time.

I hope this is a great food:rolleyes2: I snack on sunflower seeds all the time, really keeps me from stuffing my face with carbs. Are sunflower seeds a good thing?

Home made simple ground turkey chili. After I got hooked on making and eating this simple dish (with a variety of beans) my hair stopped falling out as much. Apparently I was protein deficient and didn't realize it.

I love snacking on Trader Joe's Edamame in the pods. I snack on them at work, at the movies, or just when I am watching TV. Its loaded with nutrition and fiber. At $1.69 a bag its a steal!
