  • Maybe there's another post similar to this one, but I thought I went through everything and didn't see one. If it's a duplicate, I apologize in advance.

    What are some "Must Haves" when you go shopping, foods you cannot live without that help you to stay on plan? I'm looking for new variety and welcome everybody's suggestions. Snacks, healthy, whatever.

    Also, if anybody has FF yogurt that they buy that's less than 110 calories, which brand/flavors, etc. I have yoplait light, and I thought there was another one out there with less calories.

    Thanks in advance!
  • I dont know if you have the store "Stop&Shop" locally, but their nonfat yogurt is 8oz, 100 cals and VERY rich

    Dr Praeggers veggie burgers
    rice cakes
    Better n Peaut Butter peanut butter spread (85% less fat)
    Cabot 50% light cheddar
    Galaxy Granola (85 cals for 1/2c, 1.5 g fat)
    Luna Bars
    Kashi Go Lean Crunch bars
    Gnu Bars
    just a few off hand...
  • okay, my must haves are....

    Hunts fat free choc. pudding
    Bordens 2% sharp cheese slices
    Quaker "q smart" peanut butter granola type bars (+protein, -carbs)
    Stacies 'sweet bbq' soy crisps (+protein, -carbs)
    fat free cottage cheese
    la tortillia brand, flour wraps (high fibre, - carbs)
    Healthy choice whole wheat, fat free bread (2 slices=70 cal)
    LaPrairie fat free yogourt (90 or 100 cal for 8 oz..with splenda)
    Mount Olive no sugar added, bread and butter pickles (with splenda)
    Boca Burgers.....cheeseburger, chick'n burger**love Boca**
    Tyson breaded chicken breast
    Hoods fat free carbcountdown milk
    No sugar added, hot chocolate mix
    Coffee Mate Creamer, french vanilla (splenda, no carbs)
    South Beach 'chocolate' granola type bar (tastes like choc. rice krispies)

    All most all of these have good amts of protein vs carbs and are low in calories. I use the boca burgers also because of the higer soy protein (menopause stuff) and lower fat content than reg. beef. Flavour and taste are really high on my list.....no crunchy cardboard for me!! HOpe this is helpfull.......oh!!! I just noticed I surfed upon LA weightloss posts, hmmm not sure if all the above would be okay for you.

    The new Doritos and Cheetos 100 cal packs are identical to the LA snacks...actually, they have less sodium as well.
  • Yeah-the baked cheetos are good too-but i prefer the taste of the trader joe's brand. Basically, all of the baked chips are quite good, but I try to limit them to social situations so I don't feel deprived. I try not to keep them at home, because there's still a part of me that wants to curl up on the couch with a good book and an entire bag of chips. I wish that part of me would curl up and die!
  • My list is quite short:

    Source ff vanilla yogurt (90 calories / 1/2 cup)
    Pineapple
    Gala apples
    LF medium cheddar cheese

    It's weird, but my favorite foods right now are 1/2 cup Source vanilla yogurt with 1/2 cup pineapple mixed in and eating my apples with cheese (all in the same bite). I really hope I don't grow out of liking these - they are such good, healthy choices.
