Greek Yogurt plain, sweetened with stevia, wish i could afford Fage but i get a store brand one that's pretty good, i eat 1/2 a carton of it daily topped with fresh berries (usually strawberries) and slivered almonds

Salads, i eat a HUGE bowl daily, mostly all kinds of lettuce but some other veggies too, and home grown sunflower and broccoli sprouts

i eat 1/2 of a Large avocado daily with my salad

Whey protein shakes with blueberries

i love sweet potatoes (boiled and mashed, baked is too sweet) topped with a wee pat of butter as the fats allow FAR more antioxidant absorption and sweet potatoes are one of the earths most nutritious vegetables however i have forgotten to eat them and gotten out of the habit, i like eating them along side a hard boiled egg

love a mixture of frozen stir fried veggies topped with tomato sauce and served with tilapia

All this beats the 1/2 lb bag of M&M's i used to eat daily

Kale. It took lots of tries before I liked it. Now I love it!

I love peanut butter but I feel like it's so high in calories so I haven't been eating it lately.

Lisa, I, too, love peanut butter! I should've added PB2 to my list of current favorites. I go through at least a jar a week. I don't mix it with water, but usually eat it dry -- celery sticks dipped in the powder, or even just with a spoon along with a cup of SF hot cocoa or coffee. It's also good mixed in smoothies and for Spring Roll dipping sauce, etc. Try it! I couldn't live without it!

PS Just my opinion, but I didn't care for the chocolate/peanut butter version. It was too sweet for me.

Eating lots more fruits, usually bring two or three with me to work, bananas, apples and oranges. Eating lots more veg as well.

Thanks for the reminder about sweet potatoes, baked sweet potato fries are amazing.

I eat oatmeal with almond milk just about every day, especially during the week, with a handful of chopped nuts as well.

Veggies and fruits. I have always liked them, but I always went for the junky food options when I wasn't paying attention to my health.

Salads and greek yoghurt, which I eat virtually every day. I also eat more fruit than I used to eat, along with salmon and chicken. Finally, water...which I now drink every day. Before I drank a lot of Diet Coke, but I stopped that habit when I began my diet and I can no longer tolerate the taste of Diet Coke and other soda.

Definitely eggs and avocados! I've never disliked eggs, but now that I realize the amount of protein they have and how important that is, I eat them at least 3-4 times a week. The avocado thing is mostly stemmed from me just not realizing how delish they are. Idk why I've never eaten them before. I eat them on wraps, in guacamole, on salads. Gah...i'm obsessed. I have to limit myself b/c they're pretty high in calories, but at least they're healthy!

AwwShucks - I tried PB2 and wasn't that into it..but I tried it mixed with water on toast..I kind of expected it to taste like peanut butter!! I should try eating it in some of the ways you suggested.

GirlieJayhawk 09-22-2013 10:27 PM

Veggies, especially zucchini!
I LOVE leftover zucchini with grilled chicken for lunch.

The funny thing is that my regulars change over the years and change with the season as even things I enjoy for months on end need to be changed up.

Summers/warmer parts of spring/fall - I tend to eat more salads, usually lettuce, tomatoes, artichoke hears, cucumbers, celery and various other veggies. I also tend to drink a smoothie in the morning during summers. Also, I eat a lot of summer type veggies such as zucchini and yellow squash. I tend to eat more melons, cherries and plums during this time as well.

Winters/colder parts of spring/fall - I tend to eat more soups, lots of vegetable soups. I also tend to have something warmer for breakfast, possibly oatmeal with pumpkin. We eat plenty of winter squashes during this time and also usually sweet potatoes. The fruits I tend to eat are apples.

Year round - I enjoy greens generally year round, especially kale but I like to mix up my greens. I eat beans year round a variety of them. I also eat a variety of grains including millet, brown rice (various types), other types of rice, wheat berries, quinoa, amaranth, etc. For any sandwiches, I use sprouted grain breads like ezekiel. Other regulars are hummus and almond milk.

I'm with nelie - there's a big seasonality to my routine. Which means I'm about to go through my semi-annual, "wait? what do I make/eat?!" forgetfulness/remembrance cycle again. One day soon I'll wake up and won't want another bite of cottage cheese until April. :D

Warm months - cottage cheese, protein shakes, green/berry kefir shakes, greek yogurt with homemade granola, salads

Cold months - um... hearty stews - like black bean sweet potato or turkey chili, oatmeal, eggs, granola with warm applesauce, roast vegetables, roast chicken, homemade beef bone broth

Year round - string cheese, rice crackers, grassfed milk with my coffee, seaweed snacks, tuna or sardines, spinach, occasional Quest protein bar.

Yogurt for me too, Total Fage 2%. With some sliced almonds, maybe some fruit or honey, and sprinkled with a tsp of grapenuts for crunch.

Eggs - I can't live without these. I used to only be able to enjoy them over easy with soft white bread to dip into it. But I've learned to love them hard boiled or scrambled with a whole bunch of spinach!

Salads - I've learned something important. I used to hate salad! I couldn't stand the side salad that my mom always made me eat or that seems to be ubiquitous with any meal. I just hate the thought of something cold and crunchy to accompany my warm satisfying meal. So I THOUGHT I hated salad. But as it turns out I actually love salad when it is the main meal. I can put all sorts of goodies in it and I love the crunch in every bite. Now instead of forcing myself to eat salad as a side dish for hot meals instead I make roasted or steamed veggies which I enjoy much more at dinner, and I eat a huge salad for lunch.

Avocados - it wasn't until I was pregnant that I learned to love these. I go through half an avocado a day in my salad.

Green Peas - I had NO IDEA how wonderful these guys are. My freezer is stocked full of these babies. I throw them into everything, they're a must in my salad (when they are left at the bottom of the bowl covered in dressing and mushy avocado... heaven!!!) I through them into rice dishes, soups, pasta, my husband doesn't care for them but I love them so :p

I love sweet potatoes too, never did before. I simply chop it up and boil until tender. Mash it up with a little butter, cayenne and allspice. It's uhmazing, but definitely a carby treat.

HelloNurse 09-23-2013 10:53 PM

All that I am now, and all that I am to become, I owe to boiled eggs and Greek yogurt. If it weren't for these delicious and affordable sources of protein to get me moving in the morning, I don't know what I would have done.
