kk getting ready to shop and get back to calorie counting. My most have items are.

Fat free cheese, butter, sour cream, salad dressing
yogurt

plus the usual veggies, fruit and lean meats

Veggies, veggies and more veggies. Oh and skinny cows!

Laughing cow light wedges
Trader Joes garlic asiago bread
Laura's 8% ground beef
Soft tofu (great to add to protein shakes)

lowfat cottage cheese
it is perfect because, if u are in the mood for salty just add a little pepper and eat it plain and if u are in the mood for sweet just add a little splenda and mix with fruit.
I used to be a french fry addict....now I'm a cottage cheese addict lol

also...liquid egg whites (not egg beaters...too many ingredients I can't pronounce)
You can have a big mound of scrambled egg whites and be totally stuffed and only have consumed a couple hundred calories tops...

Oatmeal
Swiss
Zucchini
Sweet potatoes
Papaya
Apples
Pineapple
Blueberries

Skim milk
Low fat yogourt

Lima bean
Canned tomatoes
Hummus
Whole grain break

apples, nuts of some kind, two kinds of cereal (one very healthy, one healthy but a little sweet, and I'll add a little of the sweet to the high fiber if I feel the need).

Wow, good selections. I always seem to get in the same old rut. I see new items to put on my list.

Me too. It's also 70% protein.

I'd add boneless skinless chicken breasts. I can't imagine going low(ish) carb without cottage cheese and boneless skinless chicken breasts!

Me three! I eat it plain after my workout every morning.

for workdays I pack these mostly raw things into small containers:
sunflower seeds
sweet red peppers
grape tomatoes
cashews
greek yogurt
persian cucumbers
lentils with spices
grilled portobellos
avocados
fruit
tinned fish
instant low salt broths

Laughing Cow Light Wedges
Non fat Yogurt

Veggies - a little of everything, a lot of what's on sale
Fruit - a little of everything, a lot of what's on sale
80 calorie yogurt
skim milk
oatmeal
40 calorie bread
spicy brown mustard
yellow mustard
garlic, pepper and other spices
eggs
lean chicken, turkey, beef & pork - a little of everything a lot of what's on sale.

I'm not a fan of fat free cheese, sour cream or salad dressing products. They don't taste good to me, so I have learned to enjoy foods without them with the exception of 1 salad dressing. I have found one low calorie, (not fat free) raspberry vinaigrette dressing that is delicious, so I do buy it, but it goes a long way.

I could probably live the rest of my life with just the items I listed.

Spinach. I eat spinach pretty much every day.
Eggs and egg whites.
Fresh salsa/pico.
2% Greek yogurt.
Trader Joe's 45 calorie tortillas.
Hummus (used on veggies and as a sandwich/wrap spread).
Red wine vinegar.

Tomatoes
Carrots
Laughing Cow Cheese
Triscuit
Cucumbers
Bananas
Papaya
Apples
Jello Mousse Temptations (only 60 calories...can you believe it?!)
100 calorie ice cream bars
Quaker 90 calorie Mini Delights
Quaker Rice Snacks (18 pcs - only 140 calories)
Salmon
Chicken Breast

I could go on and on and on.....
