Out-There sleevers (meaning veterans) Whats the one food thing you cannot do without?

Not a vet yet either... but

Quest bars in Chocolate or Peanut Butter - my go to food when on the run

romaine lettuce and fugi apples

I almost always have egg salad in the fridge for a snack on 2- melba toast or for breakfast.
cheese strings or mini baby bel
smoked salmon
Pepperoni or turkey pepperettes
veggies and dip
I like to have precooked ground meat with taco sauce for a meal or a snack with a little cheese
Most meats, but not so much coldcuts
I finally found some Greek yogurt, so I'm looking forward to experimenting with it.

Breakfasts - either rolled oats, raisins and milk OR Eggs and Cheese

Lunches - flour tortillia with ground chicken, cheese, cucumbers, ranch dressing, hot sauce and spices

Dinners - chicken breasts, italian sausage, shrimp, crab, lobster or various fresh fish or homemade chili (loaded with ground chicken and various beans eg. kidney, pinto, black, garbonzo, etc.)

Snacks - almonds, peanut butter, raisins, diet coke

I LOVE my meals and eat the same foods as above almost every single day.  I only vary if we are going out...

p.s.  The odd time we will have hot dogs...  I know gross eh? lol

My Top 3 are:
1. Cheese - all kinds & types
2. Eggs - 1 every day
3. Tea (hot or cold with splenda) &/or coffee with splenda & half & half
 

My go to for snacks is fruit (watermelon during the summer, strawberries in the spring and grapes in fall/winter)

I have Snap Pea Crisps on hand for when I get the urge for something crunchy/salty.  They remind me a little of cheetos. 

Almonds - sometimes I'll have cashews for a little extra treat. Always 1 oz whichever I choose.

Turkey Jerky when I just want to chew something.

I pretty much sick with meat for my meals.  Sometimes have veggie at snack time (fresh tomatoes are my favorite)  Baby carrots or broccoli.  I like most veggies raw so they're an easy go-to snack.

Breakfast I eat Kashi Go Lean with skim milk or steel cut oatmeal (I add some PB 2 and SF syrup to add a little life to it)  Rarely eat traditional b'fast foods (eggs, etc).  Not that crazy about eggs...now bacon, that's a whole other story!  But keep that at a minimum and only on special occasions (like when we are away from home)

I also have SF gum for times when I'm experiencing head hunger and want to eat something.  The gum seems to help.  I've never been a gum chewer until now.  I also keep SF Life Savers on hand when I have the urge to eat something and I know I'm not hungry. Limit to 4. They don't seem to trigger a craving for more, so all is good.

McDonald's Non Fat Sugar Free lattes.

Some of my go to faves are:

Fage Greek yogurt - breakfast every morning
granny smith apples & pb
shrimp stir fry from TJ's - from the frozen section
tilapia filets
90% lean ground beef
baby lettuce & greens
tuna pouches
raw cocoa powder & sprouted chia powder - these are my newest finds and I get them at Henry's aka Sprout's. The chia powder is pure fiber :)

Chobani greek yogurt
babybel cheese
100 cal packages of teriyaki beef jerky (i like that the smaller portion sizes have the pieces cut smaller too)
lunch to go tuna
deviled eggs
grilled chicken and stir fried bell peppers
frozen grapes

I love this post :-)
