Yay, a food thread!
- soups - however, these can be very high in sodium so keep your portions reasonable, and if buying canned food, compare labels. Cream based soups can be loaded in fat as well
- raw veggies - crunchy things like celery, carrots
- crackers with a small amount of cheese (goat cheese is the healthiest, then feta) and some fruit - I love graham crackers with peanut butter and apple, or breton crackers with goat cheese and pickled beet slices!
- yogurt definitely - organic preferred IMO
- low sugar granola bars like nature valley bars or all bran bars (pretty good despite sounding gross!)
- smoothies! pick up frozen fruits, yogurt or milk, some honey...yum
- for healthy treats there are lots in the freezer - yogurt bars, fruit bars, etc...just watch you only eat one or two! |

LOL I had to do this with the_broad yesterday.
Here are some of my staples:
Veggies: cooking onions, red onion, red/orange/yellow pepper, tomato, carrots, lettuce
Fruit: Apples, strawberries, blueberries
Sliced meats for sandwiches: Turkey, salami
Fresh meat: ground beef, marinating steaks, premade hamburger (try to get those that are processed on sight or are of a higher quality - cheap burgers are kinda nastay)
Fresh Fish: salmon, shrimp
Pastas, breads, grandola bars, pretzels (best snack/munchie evar!)
Furthermore, if you have "basic ingredients" (such as: olive oil, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, etc.) you can transform almost any combination of the aforementioned ingredients to make a meal. Try wierd combinations to spice up your diet, like turkey/apple salad with a vinegrette dressing (one of my favs!).

I prefer to make my own soups and freeze them - you know what is in them that way!
Search the internet for some healthy soup recipes...sometimes you can have soups that have a creamy texture but are really only pureed vegetables with a touch of cream added. (I make a mean butternut squash bisque!! hehe) |

I like to make a huge batch of chilli .... very delicious and as healthy as you want it.
ground beef / turkey etc, just make sure to drain the fat
canned crushed tomatoes, tomatoe sauce, tomatoe paste, chilli powder / mix ---> these are your staples
Now the fun / healthy part:
add every single vedgetable/legume you can think of that you'd like in your chili :) Peppers, beans, zuchini, anything :D |

Add some venison/antelope to that chili and you're GOLDEN :) |
|

^^^^^^^

Its chilli, not rocket science ... all meat/vedgies go :D Just as long as you got ur staples. |
