Quinoa, vegan boca burgers, salsa, bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, salad greens, teas/lemon water/soda water with a splash of fruit juice, Extra Virgin Olive oil, granola (in limited pre measured quantities), flavorful cheeses like feta, blu, asaigo, brie (rather then like a bland cheap cheddar, american, etc - i know i will use less of the cheeses i enjoy more, rather then just adding them to look pretty or for texture...  I would rather have a sprinkle of feta with my salid for lunch then dressing!),  Fat Free/Low Far Greek yogurt,  and


Lately i have been using a lot of mangoes, avocado, and asparagus because this is a GREAT time of year for them (price and flavor wise) and Habanero Sauce from Tabasco because its not nearly as spicy, and more flavorful then regular hot sauce, and awesome on just about everything, without adding BBQ, soy sauce, ketchup etc saving me TONS of calories  (about a quater to a third of my calories used to be from sauces, condiments, and the way i made my coffee)
