    Too much of anything is bad for you, you have to know how to keep a balance in ur cravings. Its ok to indulge sometimes, helps you from binge eating

    "If you can find a way to balance it with other foods such that you hit yoru calorie/macro goals for the day, you can eat whatever you want.
    If you can't control yourself, then ice chips are about your only good option."


    I agree with the statement above....if you get used to munching on something all the time, its easy to munch on the wrong things when you are at a weaker state.

    The post that said water...even flavored water...is a good idea....its healthy and non caloric
    good luck!

    ^^^^^THIS IS EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW

    You can eat pretty much whatever you want that is NOT PROCESSED, but it all depends on how much you are willing to workout. You earn calories thru your burn. Burn to earn. I am putting that on a TShirt, so don't steal it! LOL

    Why, what's wrong with processed foods?

    A few things are wrong with processed foods:

    GMO. 90% of all processed foods are made with GMO. If you don't know what that is, research it. Let's just say it is food made by the world's number one maker of poison.

    If it is processed, then usually a great deal of sodium is used to help preserve it and give it shelf life. No bueno.

    FAT. Lots of fat in most processed foods. If it is fat free, then check the sugar and sodium content.

    Empty calories. Processed foods have no nutritional content. Added "Vitamins and minerals" can rarely be absorbed into the body in any way sufficient enough to provide nutrition. And it usually just makes you more hungry. Pringles - you can't have just one!

    kale
    egg whites in some form or with low carb veggies
    egg whites with tuna is fairly low if you have it with mustard
    any low carb veggie
    any leafy veggie

    it might be better to focus on eating more protein instead
    of what you can eat a lot of for cals

    try increasing your protein to 100g and see how you feel

    I occasionally enjoy bell peppers. Sweet enough to the taste. Eat 'em raw or dip 'em in peanut butter or low fat ranch.

    Fruits!! Yes, too much fruit can mean a boat load of sugar. But it's all natural sugars. And once you exercise, you burn it off. Slowly, but surely. My latest late night snack has been apples and peanut butter. Try better'n peanut butter. Should be located in the organic/health food section of your grocery store. Various flavors. 100 cal per 2 tbsp vs 120-200 cal per 1 tbsp.

    Popcorn. Not buttered nor heavily salted. Keep it plain or dash A LITTLE bit of salt or cinnamon and nutmeg.

    Water before and after every meal and snack to keep you full so you're not taking in so much.

    My favorite is to cut open and eat an entire pomegranate, one seed at a time. But they're not available all year (they keep months in the fridge, though).

    HOWEVER, that has been the biggest change I've made, giving up the need to be constantly moving food into my mouth, especially when I'm sitting at my desk. Putting a book or music in my Ipod then listening to it at work helps distract me (I do a lot of visual work so it's okay). Gotta stop that munching stuff.

    holy ****!!!!! it takes a week to eat this fruit...seriously how many seeds are in that fruit..i had to throw half away..i got frustrated just eating it..

    you can fairly quickly crumble them all out in a bowl of water. also, if you aren't afraid of bursting a few, then bang it around a little to lossen the seeds then cut one side and pour out.

    I was in the same boat! I love to eat and so I needed something I could eat a lot of without sacrificing my calories! CUCUMBERS! I love them. They have a lot of water so they fill me up too. You can have a large cucumber for less than 50 calories. Add a little bit of salt if you need to!

    Air-popped popcorn is the way to go. Five cups for about 100 calories. Cut that in half, and use the other 50 calories to drizzle something yummy over top (like a tablespoon of warm caramel syrup).

    Peeps! Five of them are only 140 cals! LMAO

    In all seriousness, I think popcorn (real stuff) with some butter and salt is the way to go.

    I recently saw an article that said how much money companies like Frito Lay put into making their products as addicting as possible. Additionally, it is proven that the more a food is processed, the more it raises your risk of cancer. So if by "one of 'those' people" you mean informed, then yes I suppose she is one of those people! As am I!

    Thin slices of bell peppers

    Thin celery sticks

    I often cut items very thinly so that I can snack while I work--and the thin strips of vegies tricks my brain into thinking I have a whole bunch of food.

    I also have thin slices of apples or pears.

    If it's protein I eat almond, sometimes I slice them in half too---and eat them slowly.

    Good luck!

    Raw fruits and vegetables are the way to go here, almost all low calorie, and the nutrient density is generally high. Carrots are a bit high in sugars actually, and you get a lot more of their beta-carotene when they are cooked. They wouldn't be a first choice here for me, but they are okay. I suspect you really have to just try some different things, and mix it up. There is a nearly endless variety of fruits and vegetables out there. Two that I like, and for which it is pretty much impossible to overeat, are raw turnip slices and raw sliced cabbage. Surprise yourself.
