    EGG WHITES
    take 3 egg whites at room temp, beat to stiff peaks adding splenda when they get foamy, I add a half tsp of cream of tartar and a flavor extract like peppermint. this makes a huge bowl of meringue. drop by spoons onto wax paper or sprayed cookie sheet. and bake in slow oven. it takes about 45 mins. you can bake them in a hotter oven. but watch them close and the texture is a bit different. then munch munch. keep them air tight or they turn into something else. its all protein. only 60 calories for the egg whites. they are fat free of course. sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon, leave the splenda out and use savory spices instead. you get at least a dozen big ol cookies or bunches odf pop in your mouth ones. you can make a litte dent in the middle and add a 1/2 tsp sugar free jam, this is the perfect base for a fill....drop them into muffin tins make a deep well, bake empty then at the dinner table or when ever you can fill with fresh fruit. makes a great presentation. yum

    Oh WOW!!! I'm all over this idea. Thanks for sharing!!! :)

    Freeze bananas, add a lo cal choc syrup/fudge, almonds. Add some lo cal/lo fat whip cream after taking out ofo freezer. Its like a banana split minus the icecream. Curbs the craving for sweets and is a filling snack/desert. :love:

    I eat watermelon like it's going out of style. It's less then 100 calories for a cup of diced watermelon, and it's VERY filling. I will eat 1/4 of a watermelon for lunch sometimes.

    Coffee with 2 tbsp of Whole Foods 365 organic hazelnut coffee creamer and 1 tbsp of Sugar in the Raw sugar.

    Also love Whole Foods popcorn (in a bag - already popped)

    I find that when I eat real food, there are no cravings and I am full with less food. There is too much junk ingredients that they put in food today. They are putting profits over people's health.

    Anything that is bite-size and has 150 cal or less per serving and lets me have 10-15 pieces. Eating the pieces one at a time makes me feel like I am eating for longer, which helps me feel satisfied. My choices include animal crackers, raisins, grapes, nuts, carrots, trail mix, etc!

    I x low calorie hot chocolate drink (40 calories) plus one topping of aerosol light spray cream (40 calories) I drink this every night before bed and it satisfies my sweet tooth & chocolate urges and makes me sleepy

    100g of fresh raspberries...for some reason raspberries are incredibly filling, they give a real feeling of satiety

    I slice of Hovis wholemeal bread toasted (approx 88 calories) topped with a laughing cow cheese triangle - light , which is 25 calories plus a sliced up fresh tomato

    a bowl of weight watchers soup around 90 calories

    a low fat yogurt

    an apple or an orange or a bananas, or 3 slices of melon or a handful of grapes

    I try to avoid things like popcorn, snack bars, anything resembling a cake, crisps, sweets, biscuits because those are the type of things which made me fat in the first place and I want to eat real food that grew in the ground or walked round a field, not stuff made in a factory. It also challenges me to eat real food and to decide if its worth the effort or should i just have a drink of water and go to bed, reaching for a packet of something is too easy for someone like me who used to binge on anything in the cupboards.

    stir a pinch of cumin into hummus, put a tablespoon in the bottom of a teacup and stick carrot sticks in like it's a hedgehog. The cumin makes the hummus richer, so you need less and can stretch it our over more carrot sticks and you can eat more :wink: I sprinkle fresh black pepper on too. Usually I don't finish the hummus as I run out of carrots and I already feel satisfied. Mild spice from the cumin, the tang from the hummus and the sweetness of the carrot is a perfect combination

    Spinach or Kale Chips. Easy to make and very tasty.


    Author: Divas Can Cook
    Recipe type: snack
    Serves: 1

    Ingredients

    2 cups fresh spinach (choose the big, healthy-looking leaves)
    few drop of extra virgin olive oil
    McCormicks Italian Blend Seasoning
    Salt

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 325
    Place spinach in a large bowl.
    Add a few drops of olive oil and mix with your hands until each leaf is lightly coated in oil. Be careful not to use too much oil or the spinach will not crisp up in the oven.
    Sprinkle the spinach with Italian herb seasoning and salt.
    Taste one of the leaves to make sure you are using enough seasoning. (you won’t need a lot of seasoning)
    Arrange the spinach in a single layer (don’t let them overlap) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly oil nonstick foil.
    Bake for 8 minutes. Watch them carefully after the 8 minute mark if they are not done.
    Let sit on the baking sheet for about 2-3 minutes.
    Remove from baking sheet and enjoy!
