White bread is a killer on the sodium - some has more than salt and vinegar crisps! Pasta is a great calorie provider as long as you have a sensible sauce - I like mixing low fat philli with a bit of the hot pasta water, grated courgettes and Parmesan. Cous cous or rice salads are good too. If you fancy something sweet then popcorn made on the stove with a teeny bit of oil and shaken with icing sugar is nice. Oh and I couldn't survive without matzo or no salt rice cakes.

You can eat fruit too - strawberries, white grapes and peeled apples are very good LE food.

There are lots of recipes in the dream section that atomic made up - far better than my suggestions!

Those are good suggestions, thank you! I heard white bread was supposed to be lower in sodium but it isn't. Also way less tasty than Whole Grain! I found Quinoa, no salt! Is that considered too healthy? That popcorn sounds good!!

What about no salt salt? The salt with no Sodium.

Are there any premade breads/brands that people have found to be girl friendly? I have a 1.5 year old boy and def don't have time to be making my own breads :-)

If you're in the UK, I found Warburtons Danish bread very useful. It has 63 cals & 2.7g pro per slice. Hth!

Hi Sarajoy, a but off topic but do you have a machine to air pop corn? Is it better than doing it in the microwave without oil? What do you flavour it with and what brand machine do you have if you have one? Thanks - am thinking about getting one for the family as my boys love pop corn and I want to be able to have some too!!!

Sorry to jump in. I have an air popping machine that I got from Lidl and it's excellent. Usually I just put some in a bag with caster sugar and gave it a good shake. I've also made a toffee sauce for the popcorn but it was so gorgeous I couldn't leave it alone so maybe not such a good idea for le!

Dreamofpink do you think air popped is as good as oil or butter popped - ie will I get away with giving it to non dieters? Was it Lidl own brand? Thanks

[Dreamofpink]

The machine was from lidl, not sure when or if they'll have them back in again soon. The popcorn, I usually buy from a local weigh & save. Homemade popcorn is lovely and doesn't have the chemically taste of the microwave stuff. I think it's perfectly acceptable, when it's drizzled with homemade toffee sauce it's fantastic!
