    Pickles are quite delicious and have few to no calories. Don't know about filling, though.

    air popped popcorn drizzled with 1 tbsp. of warmed coconut oil + 2 tsp lime juice + 1 tsp chili powder yummmm

    handful of almonds with carrot juice

    1/2 cup cottage cheese + shredded carrot + 1 tbsp. sunflower seeds

    1/2 avocado with pumpkin seeds

    pear with 1 tbsp. almond butter

    toss radishes with cucumbers and mangoes and cabbage, top with avocado sauce (avocado + olive oil + hot sauce + garlic + vinegar, blend until satisfied with taste and consistency)

    homemade hummus with nut thins (my sis is gluten free and turned me onto them, blue diamond makes hazelnut/almond, etc., great, lower calories) I make my hummus: 1/2 cup olive oil + 1 can garbanzo beans + 2 cloves sauted garlic + salt and pepper + cumin + cayenne in blender - tahini too if I have it, keeps me so full!

    Quick and easy lentil soup:

    Brown a finally diced onion in a smidgen of olive oil. Toss in a chopped tomato (skin and all), then a handful of split lentils with one or two pints of water and a stock cube. Boil for 20 minutes, until lentils are cooked.

    You can garnish with chopped parsley or coriander.

    Kroger (Smith Grocery Store Brand) Carbmaster Yogurt has 6 calories, no fat and comes in many varieties including Cinnamon Roll and Black Forest Cake. It is a healthy food that satisfies my sweet tooth.

    My personal fav is a fruit and yogurt smoothie. It varies in calories dependant upon which yogurt you use, and what fruits, but it is typically between 180-220 calories. Below is the one I prefer, it is 206 calories.

    Activia vanilla greek yogurt
    1/4 cup OJ
    4-6 medium strawberries
    1/4 cup raspberries
    2 ice cubes
    1 splenda package

    throw it all in a blender, and YUMM-O! I do this for a healthy dessert some nights too. Last night I added fresh pineapple instead of the raspberries.

    Do you mean 60 calories instead of 6?

    I'm not sure the extra salt is a good idea, though - water retention, anyone? LOL

    Butter light popcorn - 30 calories per cup
    Medium granny smith apple - 80 calories
    Fresh pineapple - 100 calories for 200 grams (appx a cup) <
    one of my favorites
    100 calorie Yoplait Greek Yogurt Peach, Tropical fruit, Strawberry, etc - 100 cals <
    another favorite (high in protein)
    Cucumbers & baby carrots - very low in calories (you can add hidden valley light ranch to dip which is 40 cals per Tbsp)
    Laughing cow light cheese spreads - 35 calories (spreadable which would be great on whole wheat toast or with sliced turkey)


    Some ideas anyways (good luck :smile: )
