Re: Help! with BJs!!!

Raw fruits and veggies.
Frozen veggies to steam or sautee

Yogurt

Low fat cheese

Healthy whole grain bread

I like the little cups of applesauce to take to work- they come in all kinds of flavors too.

100 calorie packs of anything. (makes portion control much easier)

Re: Help! with BJs!!!

from what Ive heard nutrigrain bars are sugar... I know like granola bars are, does nutrigrain fall into the same catagory???

And Veggie chips arent that great for you either. They aren't really veggies.

I may be wrong, it's happened once beforeChat Icon

Re: Help! with BJs!!!

the whole wheat pretzels are pretty good!

i love mini carrots to snack on...DH loves apples, and we always buy lettuce and salad ingredients (I use raisins, almonds, and mandarin oranges to liven it up!)

Buy loads of veggies that you can cut up into strips and put them in baggies for work. I like baby carrots, bell peppers, celery, etc.

Fruit, too! i keep a variety at work so i don't run to the vending machine.

Re: Help! with BJs!!!

I second the light Laughing Cow cheese wedges. I will have one with baby carrots or celery. YUM!

I also buy oatmeal and keep it in my desk at work. If I don't eat it for breakfast and am really starving, I'll eat it and it will fill me up. BJ's carries an 8 pack of Healthy Choice soup, which DH and I buy all the time. They also carry muffins called Uncle Wally's lowfat muffins. So good and only 2 pts each.
