Anything besides pickles...

  • That are SUPER low cal (and relatively healthy!) that one can eat to stave off a bit of hunger between meals?
  • Peanut butter. 100 calories/ tbs quick, easy, yummy and satisfying
  • First make sure you're not thirsty by drinking a big glass of water.

    Cup of soup or broth (usually less than 80 calories and the heat can satiate for a long time).

    A carrot and a glass of water. For me something that's crunchy and takes a while to eat is most helpful. The fact it's fibrous seems to give my stomach something to do LOL.
  • Well, most veggies are low calorie in general... But for more flavorful options...

    Spinach or kale with a bit of balsamic vinegar (approximately 75 calories per cup)

    Canned tuna with mustard instead of mayo inside a cucumber boat (approximately 110 calories for whole can plus cucumber)

    Baby Carrots with plain greek yogurt (approximately 100 calories for 10 carrots plus 1/2 cup yogurt)

    Chicken, vegetable, or beef broth (approximately <= 80 calories per cup)

    Pistachios (approximately 100 calories per 30 nuts)
  • edamame is good-- another good for a chocolate fix and I know it sounds wired but it really is good: 1 cup fat free ricotta cheese, 1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder (more or less depending on your choc hunger), 1 teaspoon vanilla (or to taste), 1 or 2 packets splenda--again depending on your taste...80 calories 1/2 cup

    That doesn't sound gross at all, it's actually KIND of the way i lost 100 lbs. i had to replace my daily chocolate fix (usually daily 1/2 lb bag of M&M's at least!) so i do a nightly cup of 30 cal almond/vanilla milk with 2 T dark cocoa powder, stevia to sweeten and a guilty dash of flavored creamer such as irish creme heated up to make hot cocoa
  • I do turkey sandwiches. I use Sara Lee 35 calorie bread and turkey breast. Comes in at 120 calories
  • Seaweed!
  • Smoked kippers.
  • Pickles are one of my favorite snacks, too.
    I also like radishes, pepperoncini, and plain arugula.

    And I don't worry about counting the calories for any of these. Instead I usually pat myself on the back for choosing one of them instead of some of the other choices available in my kitchen.
  • I eat pickled everything. Brussel sprouts, garlic, beets, onions, quails eggs, herring, jalepenos you name it. I like the way pickles keep and they are almost as good nutritionally.
  • Hearts of Palm. Hmmmm so good. Low cal like 15 cal or so.
  • A couple of boiled eggs works for me.
  • Purred vegetable soup keeps me full for hours and mine are 75-150 calories per cup.
