Green tea. Everybody's doing it these days.

Cocoa powder. Antioxidants.

Olive oil! Yes! Yeast! Thanks for the suggestions!

BCheezy - as a young guy, I'm sure that you can eat whatever you want and never have to worry about it. I remember being your age...oh, the days! *sighs dreamily*

But today? I'm in my late 30's. If I even THINK about a cake, it goes to my belly. So cake is a sin for me, hee hee. I used to have diabetes a while back, too...and the doctor made me promise to never, ever touch sweets again as long as I shall live, so help me. Today I buy aspartame (I know many people are against the stuff - but it's brought my bloodsugar way down to normal and I don't get the reactions others might get from it - so it's actually beneficial in my diet).

Gosh, I miss those young days. I used to eat anything I wanted and still stay thin! Hee hee hee

I gotta add something to the list. Lean Cruisines. These are TV dinners 300 calories each. One of the few frozen quick microwave foods that are healthy. They come in 8 different flavors I think. My favorite is the sesame chicken. Good stuff right there.

Like a previous poster said, olive oil! I used to always use canola oil when I first got married (many moons ago) because everyone on tv kept saying how good it was for you... but now, I've switched to using olive oil exclusively.

It's a bit more expensive, and I try to buy the oil that says it's from the first cold press. But a little bit does go a long way.

Admittedly, I do keep a little peanut oil in the pantry on the rare occassion I fry up chicken... but shhhh, let's keep that on the DL.
