I am not a big fish person, but i do like white fish, pan fried in coconut milk with a tiny bit of chile :) although the coconut milk isnt particularly low fat i guess, but im sure there are low fat/calorie versions

That's cool I know exactly where that is. My ex was from Orange Mound but we would make the rounds around Memphis. I love Beale St. I use to go to Beale street to kick it from Little Rock. Oh the memories! I'm sure it's a big change New York to Memphis.

I can respect the shopping the perimeter theory but it doesn't work for everybody. I think I can shop the aisles as long as I know what the heck it is I'm buying (read the label!) It's true that I no longer buy a lot of already packaged foods but I do buy a lot of ingredients and I don't know if that's different. Probably.

Canned tuna (in water) is always a great idea! Even though it has a lot of sodium it´s low cal, lots of protein, little fat and you just have to open the can and voila, it´s ready!!!
Raw veggies and fruits, nonfat yogurt and milk
I also love avocados, great source of good fats, just have to be careful with the portions!

My staples are chicken breast, lean meat, fruits and veggies.
