Hi Lisa Joy! Love your new avvie! Regarding food choices, I HAVE to have a broad variety: I cook in bulk so to always have six choices individually frozen. Here's a sampling of my staples:
Boneless skinless chicken breasts, thawed, drained, and put into crock pot with Italian seasoning. When setting up for freezing, I add fresh grated Parmesan and more Italian seasoning.
Boneless trimmed pork chops, or boneless trimmed pork ribs, or pork loin roast in the crock pot. I add Italian seasoning. When preparing for freezing, I add s/f KC Master BBQ sauce.
Top sirloin steak cooked in the George Foreman grill; add garlic powder before cooking, then when done, add Worchestire sauce.
Skinny spaghetti: extra lean ground beef browned, then add Italian spices, and a jar of Ragu or Prego (fave!) spaghetti sauce. I don't eat pasta, though make this very thick, and add chopped onion, zucchini, or broccoli. Fresh Parmesan seasoning (from Papa Murphy's) on top.
Beef liver with onions---a fave!
Chili: extra lean ground beef, canned diced tomatoes, chopped onion, garlic. Lots of kidney beans. I make very thick chili--don't like it soupy.
Fajitas: chicken or steak, adding yellow, and/or red peppers, large onion bits, marinade sauce, put into soft warmed tortilla, with ff sour cream and or favorite salsa.
Skinny BLTs: put pre-cooked bacon , sliced tomato, and mayo into one Romaine lettuce leaf. I don't even miss the toast!
Four per week egg meals: hard boiled, poached, or fried' (using canola oil spray and Molly McButter), eggs over easy with lo-fat sharp cheddar, and a slice of 15-grain bread.
Egg dishes, from veggie/cheese frittatas to ham/veggie/cheese omelettes
Edamame heated, with Molly McButter and garlic powder (or salt if desired) Make enough for the sole meal, or supplement a meal.
Pan-simmered Tilapia, tuna steak, or salmon. I spray pan with canola oil, then add a little real butter. To the Tilapia, add fresh grated Parmesan , garlic powder and fresh ground pepper. . To the tuna steak or salmon, I just add no-salt lemon pepper seasoning and fresh ground pepper.
f/f cottage cheese with Yoplait Light yogurt (my choice) blended in. I add one yogurt to a 24 oz cottage cheese container. A meal in itself if desired.
f/f Black beans or f/f refried beans nuked, with chopped onion, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, then serve with f.f sour cream or f/f cottage cheese, and salsa.
Three times weekly, I have an AdvantEdge high protein (20g) meal replacement bar. Or the Colossal 32 g protein meal replacement bar.
Lean ham with sharp cheddar cheese, fresh chopped onion, and a bit of Dijon mustard.
Skinny pizza: I don't eat crust, just use blend 'topping' ingredients.. Extra lean ground beef (browned) , Canadian bacon, Fre****alian sausage (browned)., pepperoni. Use one meat, or more. Blend in tomato or pizza sauce, chopped onion, black and or green sliced olives, drained mushrooms, oregano, garlic powder to taste.
Two to three meals weekly: LOVE, love, Kashi Go Lean cereal mixed with Kashi Go Lean Crunch, with a half banana diced, and scant milk (or choice).
Water-packed tuna with hard-boiled egg, imitation crab and lobster diced, chopped celery and onion, dry mustard, garlic powder, paprika, and mayo per taste. I don't eat bread, and just put it into one Romaine lettuce leaf, or just enjoy it as a salad meal.
I'm an odd duck, love breakfast items for dinner, and dinner items for breakfast and lunch!
Snacks twice per day: one cup skim milk, Driskoll's fresh beef jerky or cheddar-stuffed beef stick, 1/2 cup s/f Jello instant pudding, ,1/4 cup smoked almonds, a fresh fruit, 1/2 cup dry roasted soy nuts (BBQ or plain found in Cub foods bulk section), string cheese, sliced low-fat cheese,(sharp cheddar, Swiss, Mozzarella, pepper jack), any meat, hard boiled egg with dry mustard and a bit of mayo, AdvantEdge 20 g protein meal replacement shake, High protein bar: Met-Rx Protein Plus (19g), Adkins 17g , or Pure Protein 19g.
I have fruit with one meal, veggie with another:
Fresh fruit: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, apple, 1/2 banana, 1/2 pear, peach or nectarine, 1/2 naval orange.
Fresh veggies (raw or cooked): Asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, leeks, cucumber, tomato, baby carrots, celery, Brussels sprouts, stir-fry blend, zucchini, or canned black eyed peas or black beans, artichoke with fresh Parmesan cheese and garlic powder; bell peppers, green peppers (sauteed with canola oil and a bit of real butter),

Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.
Hmmmmmmm, that is a very good question. I get in ruts sometimes.
I like bread, so I pick up Trader Joe's Sprouted wheat, 7 grain or rye. There is lots of protien in it and less than 10 grams of carbs per slice. I eat that with cream cheese and turkey or ham and sliced tomatoes. Open face.
Last week I made a crustless quiche with spinach and mushrooms and cheese. I sliced it and wrapped it individually. Took it to school and ate one slice every morning.
This week I picked up a box of frozen hand held omlets from Costco. They are individually wrapped and are 180 calories each. Each one comes in a half of a pita. 19 carbs........a bit high, but not bad. Those will be breakfast. I love eggs and salsa!!
I'm going to try your boca burger suggestion. I love the idea of cheese and pickles on top!
I try alot of things from eggface........she is the bomb. Most of her casseroles can be frozen in individual servings.
Those are my thoughts for now...........I love reading everyone's ideas.

I just got back from the grocery store and bought a few new things to try ........
South Beach Diet meals, most are a salad or a wrap with chicken, have 23 grams protein. I just wont eat both wraps or all of the crackers. I bought 4 kinds to try, plus they come with a SF jello to eat as a snack later :)
Russel Stover SF Granola Bars ~ Cinnamon Bun 100 cals and 4g protein, thought these would go good occasionally with yogurt instead of the Kashi Go Lean
SF Healthy Choice Fudge bars ~ 3 grams protein and 80 cals which is a lot, The Blue bunny ones only have 35 cals but CUB didn't have them.
Jimmy Dean Omelets ~ I have tried the cheese, I am trying ham and cheese and sausage and cheese. These are a little higher in fat than I would like so probably not an everyday thing.
I bought some Nacho Cheese soy crisps to try with pineapple salsa, cant wait to try that out :)
I will let you know how these new things go. Other than that it is the usual meat and cheese, eggs, yogurt, CIB for a snack.
Great question, I can't wait to get some new ideas!
