I find that having good food readily available means I really can avoid the not-so-good-food. Here are some of my staples:
- Roasted vegetables: these are great hot or cold, see recipe
- Fat-free cottage cheese in the fridge AND the tin of crushed pineapple already opened and in a container in the fridge for easy serving. Better yet, pre-portion!
- Pepper slices: have them all sliced up in a big see-through tub ready for grabbing to munch or add to a hot or cold meal
- Carrots: I buy the little prepared carrots so I always have some to nibble on
- Babybel light cheeses: a great low-fat snack
- Schneiders naturals ham (or some such 'all natural' brand that is all the rage right now)
- Skim milk: try not to fall victim of higher-fat ones!
- Weightwatchers bread in the freezer: although I hardly eat bread anymore
- Cholesterol-free Hellmans mayonnaise
- Eggs: an easy and good-for-you option at any time of day
- Cornflakes (1.25 cups per serving), see Skim Milk above
- Bananas: I eat a lot of bananas
- Spinach: good cooked or in salad
- Lettuce: keep a variety on hand so that you can tear up a bit of each and have as a regular salad or just put a bunch next to a hot rice dish to bulk it up, the hot and cold / mushy to crunchy contrast is lovely.
- SmartOnes Chocolate Fudge Cake (or another low-fat dessert of your chosing): make sure there is something naughty but not too naughty available at all times so you don't resort to something really bad for you
