Good foods for dieters

We all have our favorites. A few of mine:

Fiber One or its generic equivalent -- my store brand is better than the original.
Low-fat low-sugar yogurt, like Lite n Fit.
Cottage cheese -- it's a super-food, high in protein and calcium, satisfying, low in fat, and versatile.
Lean protein deli meat, usually between 50 and 70 calories per 2 oounce serving. Great in salads or by itself for a quick protein boost.
Imitation crab meat. It's not real crab meat, but it is real fish, and I loved it in my salads until my store reformulated their product and ruined it. High in omega 3 fatty acids.
Big, big salads (with that lean protein added), with low-cal dressing or just balsamic vinegar.
Parmesan cheese sprinkled on those salads to give them a little more taste and texture.

Wanna share your faves?
