I was just wondering what people ate, while dieting, as stress foods? I know we all have our own, but I was just hoping someone out there would give me something as a better option.
I have found lots of yummy alternatives to some of my old faves that keep me on track.
For quick snacks I like popcorn. At Sam's club I can get 100 calorie bags. They are smaller than regular popcorn bags so I dont cheat and the serving is perfectly portioned!
For my favorite dinners, I replaced pizza with South Beach Diet Pizza's. They have less than 400 calories and are packed with fiber and protein. Tasty too. Kinda expensive so I keep em for weekends or days I am blue.
To replace my nemesis, chicken strips, i came up with an easy recipe... Chix breasts cut into chunks, dipped in egg substitute (like egg beaters) rolled in some grated romano cheese (or reduced fat parm) and pan fried in Olive Oil. It's tasty, lower fat than restaurant kind and heart healthy! Be careful on what you dip in tho, as some add lots of calories...
