Go To Foods

[citimom 0]

What are your go to foods to keep in the house or order out? What are the foods you can no longer eat/need to steer clear of?

I can eat pretty much anything although that doesn't mean that I should. My go to food is whatever is sweet. I am trying desperately to stay away from sweet things.

I have had a little bit of beef, asparagus, pineapple, and no problems. SMALL bites and chew, chew, chew.

Once I get a fill, this might all change, but I sure hope I can always eat asparagus, I really love it.

I have trouble with fried chicken which I adore, or just any kind of meat or poultry that isn't soft or in a sauce. I have trouble with bread, asparagus, Pasta. The bread and pasta I don't miss, but I would love to have fried chicken without cutting it into fingernail size pieces. I have trouble with Chinese food - basically cause I love it and eat it too quickly without cutting it up enough.

I do real well with crackers, tunafish, taco and seafood salad that I buy already made at the grocery store. I do well with cheese and cottage cheese and any kind of soft food. Most vegetable are OK and fruit if I'm careful. I often wonder if I'm getting enough whole grains and good carbs. And of course I can get down any kind of junk food no matter what form it comes in which is such a puzzle.

I eat best my myself and have to be careful about eating with people esp. my family - kinda weird but I forget to concentrate on eating carefully when I'm watching them scarf down their food.

I keep the 4oz cottage cheese cups / hummus / tuna / frozen shrimp / frozen bags of edamame / nuts / danon lite & fit smoothies around handy at all times. The only food I can't get down are crackers & some breads..which is what got me fluffy in the first place.

My go-to foods are frozen edamame (SO yummy!), nuts (mostly pistachios or pecans), and cheese. The only thing I've found that I have trouble eating is dry steamed broccoli and soft breads. And Combos, apparently, which I just found out this past week.

I always have frozen chicken breasts (Individually wrapped), frozen mild italian sausage links (individually wrapped), onions, and canned french-cut green Beans.< /p>

With those things, I can always throw together some kind of meal that I can eat, with whatever is laying around in the kitchen.

Oh and the packets of instant grits, are a staple for me. Easy quick meal for 1!

what is edamame?

Edamame is a Soybean. I take about a cup frozen / nuke them about 3/4 minutes and add salt. They are one of my favorites foods, you'll find them in any Sushi / Japanese Restaurant.

[anonemouse 1]

Yep, edamame is extremely yummy. I swear that they're addictive! If your grocery store has a frozen organic/health-food section, you can probably find them there.

what does edamame taste like?? can you think of anything to compare it to

[luluc 6]

Hard to say, Lauren may have a different explanation. But I find them to be similar to a regular Pea Pod?? but with a nutty / earthy rich flavor, salt really adds to the taste (for me). They carry so much Protein, I could eat a bucket of them daily.

One other place to find them, of all places....Super Target. Just found that out last wk, so happy since I think I live @ Target.

Our closest Target is an hour away. I am going tonight. I will have to give them a try. I really want to focus on Protein rich food but stay away from so much fat. I hope I like it as much as yall do

For take-out it's either Chipotle or Hot & Sour Soup.

Turkey pepperoni. I micorwave it on paper towels until it's crunchy. Fat goes in the paper towels, they go in the trash, and I'm left with a good ratio food that's tasty and works nicely as a chip subsitute. I like to dip mine in cottage cheese.

Cottage cheese.

Edamame - I like to roast mine until browned, or longer/lower heat until dry so they're crunchy. Makes a great snack nut.

Refried Beans. I always have a can of fat free chili/lime refired Beans in the pantry, and now that I've found refried black beans, those as well.

Soy milk. In a pinch, it will do for a meal on the go.

What are the foods you can no longer eat/need to steer clear of?

I've yet to find foods I can't eat, but some cause more discomfort than others. These include anything slimy (cut strawberries, bananas, applesauce, wet eggs, etc.), things I tend to swallow too much at once (I don't care much for chips, but I do like the Archer Farms Hot & Spicy chips... but have to go VERY slow). I've given up red meat because it's way more chewing than it's worth. I can do grapes but I either peel them or chew them up and spit out the skins. And I can do Peanut Butter, but unless it's whizzed into something, I have to be careful with it.

Ditto. I'm not too much of a fan of other Beans, but I absolutely adore edamame. I agree that a nutty flavor is probably the best way to describe it. Very mild, but delicious!

cottage cheese

salsa to mix in the cottage cheese

Handi-snacks sugar free pudding cups
