what's your healthiest, low cal most filling food?
hey guys!
just wanted to know what your fave, healthiest, low-cal most filling food?
home made veggie soup
red beans and rice, especially zatarain's reduced sodium mix. 200 calories for a very filling meal.
TOFU WITH REFRIED BEANS AND ARUGULA/SPINACH. I've been very obsessed with this combination the past couple of weeks. I slice the tofu really thin and it kind of resembles egg whites.
Oatmeal!! 150 Cal for a 1/2 cup dry - add a little Stevia and and a sprinkling of cinnamon - Yum! that fills me up for hours
Also - egg white omellete on ww toast (my combo is 120 Cal), and tuna on ww toast (160 Cal). In this case - the trick is a mix of carbs and protein that keeps you full longer..
I've been eating a ton of Healthy Life bread lately. It's only 35 calories per slice. Add a little bit of low cal jam and you're golden! 50 calories tops for a slice of bread and a bit of jam. You can't beat that.
Apples
Celery sticks with hummus...3 tbsp of the hummus I use is 75 calories and then about 12 celery sticks is another 25 or so...and that fills me up for a while for only about 100 calories.
Birdseye steamfresh select whole green beans, steamed in the microwave, and sprinkled with pepper. I eat the whole bag as a filling snack!
Apples with peanut butter.
Eggs!
A salad with tons of fresh veggies and next to no dressing ( I use that spray stuff that has 10 calories a spray). I like a little crunch to go along with my veggies so I will either crush up 2 tortilla chips or add some bacos. YUMMY....and filling..Only about 200 calories
I eat this when i'm hungry and want something sweet. It's 2 pieces of demster's bread (same as w.w.) 1egg white and sweetner of choice , make french toast and than i put a tsp. of maple syurp on each. yum. I really like them I tried to use egg sub. but need more of it cause it doesn't go as far.
Sorry I forgot that I add cinn. to my egg and sweetner too.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Power Bar, 250 cal, full serving of whole grain, 10g of protein, and 5g of fiber! keeps me FULL. I eat one almost every day and i love how they taste :)
Last night I made something really good.
Sauted a bunch of brocolli, squash and onion (all cut up real small) and then threw in 4 egg white with some salt and pepper. Heaping portion for less then 100 calories, and was SUPER tasty too!
PS - any veggies would do. :)
When in season, I love to eat broiled asparagus with a little sea salt! Otherwise, a couple cups of mixed veggies steamed with seasoning & a bowl of soup will fill you up.
I like the Campbell's Select Healthy Request line because it's lower fat & sodium. ;-)
Homemade three bean soup. High in fiber, low in calories, fat, and sodium. A cup keeps me full for at least 3-4 hours.
Edamame
It is the most amazing stuff ever, it's the japanese "bean" like thing. It's like a green bean but so so much better
I'd rather have a cup of edamame then a cup of chips( and I love chips!)
Try it, you can find it if you go out for sushi or in the frozen section of your grocery store
but my fav is dannon light nfit yogurt. 60 calories per little yogurt cup, seriously SOOOO filling. oh and two eggwhites with ketchup=50 cal
Seconded on the apples.
Have an apple and a bottle of water and your good to go.
