What is your go to "stress" food that makes you feel better, but doesn't send you off track or over your calorie allotment for the day?

Popcorn. I get to munch on something salty, crunchy, and buttery and it's still not too bad on calories.

YEAH Cheese is my favorite food by far but its so high calories.... but if I had to die of a heart attack my weapon of choice would be cheese and cheese-only..... blisss

Lately it's been anything that's not nailed down, need to get a handle on that and get back on track!!!

^^ yes! lol

Usually tho, I tend to cook something comforting for dinner rather than snack. Once I start to snack when stressed I tend to keep going back, so I give myself a comfort meal instead.

Popcorn, with salt but no butter. Unfortunately, it tends to be in large quantities.

So if you see ten cups of popcorn (my bowl) on my diary, I was probably grouchy. :P

Poor man's pizza

1 quesidilla (spinach is best with the least calories they also have low carb ones)
1/4th cup of cheese (fat free)
green onion to taste
diced tomatoes
(sometimes bacon or ham)
1 min in microwave
fold in half cut into wedges and dip in fat free ranch or plain
less than 250 calories depending on what you use for fillings and dips. Filling, fast, and cheesy!

SillaWinchester

Brownies, but now that I'm trying to be healthier I usually grab some sort of spiced chai tea

Aureilie

Gin :-)

Haha! Yes, or vodka!

Usually it's whole wheat mac and cheese, though.

jenilla1

Reduced fat cheddar cheese.

Christine1110

Ice cream...I can't just have a 1/2 a cup...so I don't buy it very often!!

wistom

Captain & coke zero.

ps: A day without cheese is like a day without sunshine. :-(

BertieGotSkill

I guess I'm still looking for the healthy go to food. I'm still running to the sweet, the fried, and the fattening. :P Good thing I don't keep much of that in the house.

Pepsi Max & Malibu, one of the lowest calorie liquors

For crunchy things I go to either Snikkidy southwest cheddar baked fries or barbecue flavored potato straws.

For sweets I either chew sugarless mint gum or have a peppermint or cinnamon disc.

blueham5

Arrowroot biscuits or shortbread. Only 3-5 of them though. Used to be the whole sleeve.

Colofit

Celery sticks dipped in hummus (cures the crunch cravings) also SOUP!!
