Sad-Day Happy Foods

In dieting, everyone has their ups and downs, especially in the beginning.  From what I've found, there are several foods that, in general, just make you happy.

On days when I'm just not feeling my best, I always go for certain foods that are surefire to make me feel better, and I'd like to hear from everyone theirs.

My three top happy foods are:

1. Fruit Roll Ups (50-calories per roll)
2. Bananas (72 - 135 cal per fruit)
3. Pears (80 - 100 cal per fruit)

What are yours??

Apples
Marshmallows (not very healthy though!!)
Grapes
Milk
Tuna

dried fruit with nuts

lucky charms

coffee with hot chocolate

mango... mmm

Blueberries

Raspberries

Peanut butter on toast (something about warm and gooey that's just great!)

Skinny Cow vanilla ice cream sandwich

Oatmeal.

Any fruit.

More oatmeal.

And...did I mention oatmeal?

Ooo Oatmeal... with fruit in it... 

I think we can all certainly say that fruits are happy foods.  Except lemons... they're kind of sour and make you pucker your lips. But watching someone with something sour makes you happy...  At least, it makes you laugh...

Kiwifruit 

Canned peaches (solids only)

Salmon (smoked or sashimi)

quaicamel- I totally forgot that one. Peant butter toast w/ cinnamon.... And i love how warm and gooey the peanut butter gets...yummmm

Have to add to my own list!!

Cranberry sauce
Propel fitness water
Oreos
Cran-rasp juice

I agree with the banana or a good cold, crisp apple.

I also really like a good granola bar or some flavored oatmeal.

Yogurt is another good one too.

1)Raw Cashews
2)Broccoli
3)Grilled plantains !

Cereal

100 calorie pack cookies with milk

Ice cream!!

1.  oatmeal with berry flavor nonfat yogurt mixed in..... warm, gooey, sweet, AND good to lower cholesterol!

2.  canteloupe slices (50 calories per 1/4 medium melon)

3.  HUGE iceberg lettuce salad with warm thin-sliced broiled chicken breast that I marinated in ginger, garlic, and tamari (and if I am feeling extra indulgent, either some fat-free grated cheese or garbanzo beans).... makes me feel like I am pigging out on something gourmet
