Favorite go to meal or snack that keeps you on track with decent eating

[Anonymous]

I am trying to stop making such bad choices. What I’m finding is that I do not have enough go to things that are decent but taste great. I’m trying to be more mindful about good food choices and trying to stay away from white flour and white sugar and pasta. Any ideas?

Protein. Fat helps, but for me it’s getting protein. Plant based protein is nice and I definitely have it via nuts and the like, but fish, poultry and meat are the rockstars for me, then I do vegetables and, because I’m lower carb (nowhere near truly low carb) I do a small serving (2 T or 1/4 c) of something nutrient dense but carby - sweet potatoes, whole grains, a fruit I like. Then if I’m still hungry I’ll have some cheese.

Those are my meals anyway. Tuna cups are really great snacks. I like the basil flavored one.

I just love whole fat cottage cheese with sunflower seeds and raw broccoli. I think I made it up at a salad bar long long ago. I love it. It’s weird but so good.

lowfat Greek yogurt. This was a suggestion of a zero point food for WW, and I was surprised by how well it took the edge off.

Cantaloupe or watermelon and feta cheese. Very filling!

+1 protein. I keep apple gate turkey burgers in freezer, Fage Greek yogurt, egg whites, cottage cheese, quest bars (chocolate pecan is my fave) hummus, protein powder in the kitchen every week. I get protein + at least a salad + serving of veggies at every meal now and it’s helped cut my crappy carb snacking tremendously. I eat 3 meals + 2 snacks and try to make the second snack of the day mostly veggies, like carrots/celery and hummus.

Eggs, string cheese, steel cut oats with a few nuts and fruit (feels like I’m eating a muffin).
Noom has really helped me with choices/ideas.

Guys, these are terrible snacks! Yikes. Makes me want to go out and binge.

Better: string cheese, mixed nuts (esp. ones that take time to shell, pistachios or walnuts), peanut butter & apples, guacamole (I tell myself if I actually make it--avo, lime, salt, tomatoes--I have a pass on the chips), charcuterie board (high on protein, low on crackers), tzatziki w/ veggies.

Fage Greek yogurt, mush a few berries and swirl - then add a few nuts of choice .. for more if a treat I’ll add cacao nibs and small amount of shredded coconut.

Another go-to is celery and almond/peanut butter.

Apple slices with almond butter
Baby carrots and Greek yogurt ranch dip

How are their snacks any different from yours?

Best meal on the go that I could eat everyday:

Tysons blackened chicken over brown rice or salad or roasted veg. Top with Good Foods Plant Based Queso Style Dip and TJ's roasted corn salsa.

I agree with others on some kind of protein-I prefer chicken myself for some reason, and anything chicken derived, even when processed (bad, usually). I also try to eat some fresh fruit as an alternative, like the remainder of a mango from breakfast, or some blueberries. I try to avoid peanut butter, as easy as that is. Or I just drink so much water that I power through and ignore it.

Much easier to do this while working at home. I also exercise at home usually around 5 or 6 and I am hungry but I perform better while in that state for some reason.

Good luck!

I really like the Rx protein bars for something quick on the go. Or add a piece of fruit and some yogurt for a quick meal replacement
