[quote=Anonymous]I've been experiencing something similar recently. Here's what's working for me:

2% fage greek yogurt - 1/5 of the big tub is a serving. I put over fruit and top with some maple syrup and corn flakes (or low sugar cereal of your choice). You can add nuts, cinnamon, whatever.

I eat 4% fat cottage cheese. I genuine like it plain but you can have it with fruit and cinnamon, or apple sauce, or salsa, or spices, or dip veggies, or whatever. Experiment with brands and %s and curd sizes until you find what you like. I like a higher % because it's more filling, and fat is not bad.

Tofu. I like plain extra form cubed small in salads (like cheese) or stir fried. TJs has a nice teriyaki one that I bake or pan fry and serve with veggies and rice. The servings are larger than you'd think. And since it's your main you can have 1.5-2 servings. Watch the oil absorption if you're counting calories.

I roast chickpeas in a sauce of olive oil, tomato paste, paprika (smoked is good), garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and a little sugar. I also add thinly diced onions and garlic. These are good on their own, with salads, with other roasted veggies. Warm or cold.

I eat a lot of string cheese.
