Lots of low carb stuff, and organic stuff, and generally healthy looking
stuff. I bought some low carb pasta, but haven't tried it yet. The
nutrition profile, compared to regular pasta, is phenomenal. High protein
and fiber, low carb and calorie.

I also bought some kashi good friends cereal. I tried it right out of the
box on the way home, and it's very tasty. Also high in fiber (8g) and
protein (9g), but high in carbs too (22g). This stuff is so crunchy though,
it's like chewing on gravel. It cut my gums like captain crunch used to
when I was a kid! 190 cal in a cup of cereal, plus 1c of nonfat milk, under
300 cal for breakfast. I need the fiber though, as lately I've been getting
like less than 10g per day...

Kashi also makes meal replacement powder, which has 22g of protein and 8g of
fiber. I'm going to try and get my fiber intake up to the suggested min of
25g per day. I'm sure my colon will thank me...

I really liked the Kashi Good Friends cereal. Only reason I don't eat
it now is no Trader Joe's anywhere near. And though one of the markets
carries it I think, it is very expensive up here. I never found that
it cut my gums though! It is a great source for fiber. I ate it last
time I lost big weight... and no problem there. I also added protein
powder to my milk.

Try Trader Joe's whole wheat couscous some time. In small portions,
it's super easy to fix, has good fiber and is tasty. Had a tomato,
onion, couscous, sardines and roasted red pepper salad yesterday. Yum.

Check BJ's Warehouse and Whole Foods as well. Heck, even our Harris
Teeter carries it (but Whole Foods generally has a better price).



Sorry, wrong number. We only have TWO grocery stores here.
Albertson's and Economart. I've not seen it at Wal-Mart either. But
that's about it for food shopping options here.

I may fit it into the budget later. Trouble is, fresh produce is so
expensive here... that's where my money is going at the moment.

Kashi is ok, but I prefer Fiber One because it offers fewer calories
and fewer carbs (sugar) but 14g fiber. ANd believe me, 1/4 cup of F1
in some yogurt is very tastey and more than enough fiber for me when
you add in the other fiber foods I eat in the day.



Fiber One is decent too... but I didn't like it for taste as much as I
liked the Kashi Good Friends cereal. However, sometimes, I did MIX
them... extra fiber boost, but more variety from the Kashi.

Flax seeds add a nice fiber boost to smoothies too.

Don't overlook popcorn. A bag of Orville's SmartPop has 210 calories and is
loaded in fibre. It is easy to eat at the computer and in the car, etc.
because it doesn't have all that grease on it.

And my all time favorite is low fat triscuits but not quite as much bang for
the calories.

I didn't realize popcorn had that much fiber in it... Anyways, my favorite
popcorn is the kettle korn. I just realized that the kashi cereal I bought
is not "good friends" but "crunchy"... No wonder it's so damned hard to
chew!

I have Fiber One also... And I do like to mix it into yogurt. I've just
been eating the same stuff over and over I got sick of it, so I'm adding in
some new things. I ate fiber one w/yogurt for about 2 months straight and
then couldn't take another bite. So, I'm looking at alternating days of
multigrain hot cereal mixed w/protein, fiber one w/yogurt, the kashi, and
looking for other high fiber foods. I really have been neglecting my
veggies... When the growing season ends here, all our "fresh" vegetables
are shipped from halfway around the world, and taste like wax...
