- I know for myself if I ever get to the point where I am starving it is hard for me to get satisfied. I am like Mhami- I must eat every couple hours to make sure I don't get too hungry.
Some of my favorite snacks are:
-Dannon light snack pack yogurt (only 1pt!) with some Fiber One cereal added
-I make a small fruit salad with a 3oz banana, 1/2 cup strawberries, and 1/2 cup blueberries - all for 2pts! For added flavor sometimes I put 2tblsp of light Fat Free whipped topping on it- but you could use any fruit that is available (but I have to keep the whipped topping frozen otherwise I will want to eat a spoonful of it everytime I pass the fridge!!!!!)
-A Boca Burger with a light hamburger bun loaded with romaine lettuce, tomato, pickle, and just a bit of onion - 2pts
-carrots and salsa 0
-a whole-wheat flour tortilla with 1/2 cp fat free refried beans, lettuce, salsa and tomato 2pts
-steamed fresh broccoli with 2pc Kraft 2% cheddar cheese 2pts
-baked potato with salsa - 3pts
-1 cup black beans with tomato, chili seasoning, a bit of onion, green peppers and whatever else you have - 2pts
-brown rice - 3pts with steamed frozen stir-fry veggies- 3pts
These are just a few things that I have found that are low in point and at the same time really help to fill me up. Most of my foods have to have a bit of protein otherwise I am hungry about 1hour later. Also, I am a volume eater, so I tend to use veggies as a "filler" to increase the amount of food that I have. You would be SHOCKED at how much steamed broccoli I have put away in one sitting!
Really though, it is a challange for me because I work all day and I tend to have squandered my points on snacks and such at work, so when I get home I have very few points left and I am hungry, so I am left kinda experimenting and putting things together to try to make a satisfing low-point meal.
