Foods that are low in calories

**Volcanicity** · 15th June, 2008

Can anyone recommended foods that are low in calories, quite low but also filling.

**IrishMum** · 16th June, 2008

Any kinds of veg? I make a big pot of veg soup (usually either broccoli or cauliflower) and its easy to heat up and very filling?

How low is low?

Porridge,

I buy Turkey slices that are 100% Turkey breast and they are only 36 cals a slice.

Mixed salad with a low fat dressing is quite filling and very very low in calories.

Me too, but try & add some protein (chicken, ham) or a few pieces of pasta to help keep you feeling full. I love my own cajun chicken salad- chicken breast cooked in cajun spices, cabbage, a dsp of mayo, lettuce, tomato, carrot & a little onion sprinkled with black pepper.

Yeh I made a lovely pasta and chicken salad the other night.

I had quite a few olives in it too, I love olives in salad mmmm.

Strawberries! Just had a medium sized bowl of them and it was only 33 cals! most supermarkets have them on offer at the moment and the English ones are gorgeous!!

Fresh fish, is low cal and you can make a goo dmeal with vege and even a jacket spud, or some brown pasta, noodles or rice.

Egg whites are good. You can add onions and stuff like that, and make a kinda omelette. If you have just egg whites and onion, it's uber low cal.

sugar free jelly is 38 cals for a whole bowlfull yummy

**MzMonday** · 30th August, 2008

Sugar-free jell-o and vanilla frozen yoghurt is nice for a snack if you have a sweet tooth.

**Aliceinwonderland** · 20th September, 2008

A nice one for if you fancy something sweet is freezing yoghurt from a big tub in an ice lolly making trey - makes you feel like youve had a treat and you can use low cal yoghurt so its only about 60 cals. Also i love making soup and a really filling one is butternut squash soup - just fry some onions, throw in the chunked squash add a tiny bit of water (lots comes out of the squash), throw in some nutmeg or paprika - you can also chuck in carrots or potato if you want, then boil well and blend - i sometimes put some greek yoghurt in as this would be a nice recepie with cream and the yoghurt does a similar thing. x

One of my favourite filling foods is Seeds of Change Spicy Lentil Soup - 180 calories per 400 gram pouch (if you're doing Food Focus it comes up much higher, I think it may be for an old recipe or entered wrongly). You can get it in Sainsburys and larger Tescos.

Oh, and I haven't succumbed yet, but if you get a chocolate or sweetie craving and fancy something a 2-finger Kit Kat (chocolate, mint and dark varieties) is only 107 calories for the whole bar
