Healthy FILLING snack foods
what are some healthy filling snack foods? im hungry all throughout the day. since i run a restaurant, temptation is everywhere and iv been doing pretty good not eating anything bad, but im also not eating anything at all which im sure isnt good either.
I need help finding some healthy snacks that will satisfy me and curve my appitite.
Raw vegetables are good, they have lots of fiber and low calories!![]()
ok. so i love love love raw veggies, is there such a thing as eating to much of them in one sitting you think?
cause when im in the mood to munch and i wanna be all healthy about it i grab veggies but before i know it ive eating an entire pound of baby carrots!
baby carrots! also one of those 100 calorie popcorn bags
a big spoonful of natural/organic peanutbutter and an apple or on a single piece on whole grain bread provides healthy fats and proteins which will keep you satisfied until it's time for your next meal - even if it is many hours from then.
Nuts and raisens keep me full for ages, even from a small handful - say 8 brazil nuts and a little pile of raisens
cucumber/peanut butter sandwich... lol kind of weird but very healthy and filling too (providing u use a hell of a lot of cucumber and only some peanut butter)
roast some sliced eggplant to take with you! ...for a low cal veg i find it very carby/filling- you need a fork depending on how long you bake- but it is sooo good hot or cold and covered in tomato sauce
also definitely soy/nuts
- I often (several times a week) eat a pound of baby carrots at one sitting: (175 calories?)
- I often eat 16 oz. of shredded cabbage with 4 tbs. of lowfat dressing (190 calories)
- I peel 3 medium cucumbers or 2 large cucumbers, cut them into spears, and dip them into lowfat dressing (165 calories)
- I eat 2 braeburn or gala apples (cutting them into small wedges) 160 calories
- I eat a bag of Orville's popcorn 94% free (240 calories)
these are all great! thanks so much everybody. i really like the cucumber and cabbage ideas.
very helpful. im glad im not the only one that can take out a bag of baby carrots without a thought. haha thanks
I'm happy to find someone else who will eat cabbage and carrots.
I used to when watching college football games (one after the other after the other) while drinking a few brewskies eat not just one pound of baby carrots, but sometimes 2. And sometimes to make up for the fried chicken, baby back ribs, or rib steaks eat 2 pounds of shredded cabbage with lowfat dressing. Well, those were the bad or good old days.
My brother-in-law had an interesing thing happen to him, which I guess is fairly common. His skin began to turn orange, because he ate so many carrots, particularly when he was driving his tractor. I haven't had that happen to me. It's not dangerous, just a bit odd.
I cut Zucchini into slices put them in a bowel, cover and then microwave them for about a minute and thirty seconds. Then cut a lime in half and squeeze it on top of them, and add a pinch or two of salt.
Its very good, hot, filling and about 50 calories depending on the size of the Zucchini.
