I like to get the most nutritional "punch" for the calories I eat, so I stick with raw spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, and tomatoes. I also cut a couple of slices of purple onion into my spinach salad.
BTW, I have a fanatastic dressing that I put on the spinach, it's Boscoli italian olive salad, and it's basically olive oil, ripe and green olives, celery, sweet peppers, and spices. One tablespoon has only 45 calories, 4.5 grams of fat, 2g of carbs. It makes plain raw spinach taste unreal! If anyone has ever had a muffalletta from New Orleans, it's the stuff they dress the sandwich with. You can get it online at: http://www.sugarandspiceco.com/food/OliveSalad/olive_salad.html
PS - I have no ties to the company, I just love the stuff

Res : Turkey
Rez - I get sliced smoked turkey breast from the deli. Not the prepackaged stuff, but the stuff they cut for you on that big cool slicer (I wish I had one of those at home! Oh the damage I could do
) I usually go through 3 or 4 pounds of it a week. It's great just to roll up into a tube and eat it - I like to put some yellow mustard on it, or I roll it with a slice of swiss cheese if I need some fat. I'm not sure about the salt content, but I don't think that it is that bad.

smoked anything has a high salt content....and without lables on the product...you dont kno w what else they could put i there..often its sugar to make it taste better...

Ummmm, really? I don't see the connection between smoke and salt, but if you insist
Anyway, next time I am at the deli I will take a look at the label on the breast that they cut it from. It'll have the nutrition info on it. Thanks for the heads up though, who knew my turkey was actually sending me to an early grave!!
I roast a turkey breast once a week 
it's very easy
Glycemic index I hope this helps!
(from somewhere on EF)
Look for foods that are below 60 and try to avoid foods that are higher. If you have a medium or slow metabolism I would keep the number below 50. The core of your diet should be low glycemic.
But every so often don't be afraid to tickle your sweet tooth.
