[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 707088, member: 1233"] Hard boiled eggs are a pretty good source of protein. If you don't want any fat you can eat only the whites. I mostly hate egg yolks so I tend to not eat them (taste/texture thing - I can tolerate the yolks in some things but not just by themselves). Right now eggs are pretty cheap, especially at Aldis. One of the big stumbling blocks with hard boiled eggs is how to cook them so they peel without the whites sticking to the shell. The Pioneer Woman has a method that works amazingly well. My J has been using this and peeling a couple of dozen eggs at a time. My husband and son will grab them before work or whatever and it is super convenient. You bring the eggs to room temperature. Then put them in boiling water and boil for 13 minutes exactly. Then put the eggs into an ice water bath immediately until you can hold one in your hand and it does not feel warm at all. Then peel or store in the shell. Use within a couple of days. This would be great for lunches, to add protein to a salad or to make a sandwich or even for a quick snack. And for those of you who have chocolate cravings, remember that dark chocolate is much healthier for you than oreos or cookies or whatever. I was reading a magazine at the doctor's office where they looked at a celebrity's diet and commented. All a nutritionist could find to gripe about for some celeb was her after dinner treat of 3 oreos. The nutritionist wanted her to have dark chocolate instead. I keep little ziplocs from the craft store and will take a bag of chocolate chips and divide it into 50 or 100 calorie portions per ziploc so I can grab one when I get a craving without going overboard. I also will buy the Milky Way Dark Miniatures because I can eat 1 or 2 of those when I get a craving and it will be enough to satisfy me. Much more and I end up feeling sick, actually.
