Filling Low Cal foods

babygem1984

Hey guys,

I've just started a 1500 cals/day programme after years and years of eating what I want when I feel 'not full'! I'm still adjusting to it and I'm finding that I'm taking all of my cals in the day over the 3 main meals.
I've been able to keep to it (no idea how!) but I'm definitely starting to find that I'm forcing myself to go hungry until my next meal time so that I don't waste my calories snacking.

I've been drinking a lot of water to curb the hunger but the longer I go without eating I'll begin to feel dizzy and make the wrong choices when my will power fails.

Can anyone share some insight into how to get over those hunger pangs using around 50 cals? I'm sure my body will get used to the lower food intake but after 28 years of pigging out it's definitely had a shock!

Thanks guys

Fruit and vegetables are good as low calorie snacks - apples, grapes, peppers, tomatoes, etc. Greek yogurt is also filling and low calorie if you go for a fat free version - about 29 calories per 50g serving. Mixed with a little jam it is really good

Hope this helps
