I went to a Trader Joe's for the first time last night - very cool store.
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.
