It just occured to me today, as I was cutting up vidalia onions to put into my pita sammich, than I eat onions more than I eat anything else. I eat them almost every day, I'd say at least 6 days a week. Raw, cooked, it doesn't matter, I'll eat them. And I eat them with just about everything. On sandwiches, in salads, wrapped up in tortillas, in stir-frys - and I even make lowfat baked onion rings. I go through a LOT of onions, I'm constantly having to buy more because I eat so many of them.
So I was curious, is there one food you find yourself eating every day? Or close to it?
Another food I eat regulary is whole wheat pitas. I love stuffing them with yummy things
Before I started my current plan (which has pre-set menus), it was definitely peanut butter. I would buy the all-natural kind without sodium (the ONLY ingredient is peanuts), and I would use it in smoothies, banana and peanut butter wraps, sandwiches...
My breakfast cereal (Flax Plus from Trader Joe's). I eat it at least four days a week.
I also put onions in just about everything I cook. Can't eat them raw, though--they give me terrible heartburn.
I eat a green salad with dinner almost every day. In the summer that includes cherry tomatoes and cucumber. And I eat tomatoes in a lot of other dishes as well (sandwiches, pasta, cassoroles, soups).
I have non-fat yogurt with wheat germ for a snack almost every day.
Finally, we eat a lot of chicken. Probably at least twice a week. Sometimes I probably make chicken for dinner 7 nights a week. It's versatile and I prepare it lots and lots of different ways, so we don't get bored with it.
Oh my gosh, yes, tomatoes is another food I eat a lot of. Especially in summer because I grow my own. I've eaten tomatoes just about every day for the last several weeks.
I eat cottage cheese almost everyday. It has lots of nice protein and it goes with almost everything ... fruit, vegetables ... I've even had it on sandwiches.
I eat a LOT of frozen fruit. Peaches, blackberries, strawberries, or mixed berries with yogurt or by themselves are part of my day. I love them because fresh fruit goes bad SO quickly, and these dont. I still eat a lot of fresh fruit as well, like apples, mangoes, kiwis, bananas, etc.
I guess that isnt one food, but its one group of food.

Here's a copy of my post re: the onion rings to another member who asked me for the recipe
I don't have the exact nutrition info, but I got this 'recipe', actually, from someone else here on 3FC. Here is the actual copied recipe. How I calculate calories, basically, is I just count the calories for each ingredient. The whole onion, the 2 tbsp. flour, the bread crumbs, etc. I usually only end up using about 1/4 cup of bread crumbs because bread crumbs are so high in calories. So here it is, as it was posted
I love making these and dipping them in ketchup! I wish I could remember who posted this recipe, but kudos to them because they are wonderful. And it's important to leave them in double rings because if you don't, they'll turn almost 'papery' from the heat of the oven because they'll be too thin.
2 large onions -- 1/4" sliced, leave in double rings
2Tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
pepper to taste
Mix the onion rings with the above ingredients in a zip-top bag until rings are coated. Then dip rings into 1/4 egg substitute (or whites) and then into 1/2 cup bread crumbs until coated. Arrange on baking sheet. Spray tops on rings with non-stick cooking spray and bake at 400 degrees until golden brown.
These turn out so light and crispy you can hardly tell they are healthy!
What one food do you eat more than any other?
