    Vegetables, lean protein (meat/fish more than dairy).

    I just discovered Shirataki noodles (and pasta and rice) and am totally digging it!
    I enjoy them, too. They're handy when I want a quick and filling snack, but they don't have any calories. I like them with peanut powder and soy sauce, or I also sometimes make a creamy cheesy low calorie pasta dish with noodles, shredded cabbage and some Parmesan, Laughing Cow cheese and a little broth all mixed together. And they're really cheap at my local Asian grocery stores.

    The secret to the noodles is to rinse very well, then dry fry them a few minutes before adding any sauces. The dry frying makes them go from completely repulsive to very tasty.

    Watermelon is the king of high quantity, low calorie food.

    I stuffed up on spinach and smoked salmon this morning.
    If you're a fan of cheese, parmesan on everything.

    I love things like cabbage, steamed veggies paired with lean meat- Also stirfry veggies are great- can use lots of mushroom if don't prefer meat- lastly I love oatmeal with fruit soooo good and filling

    I found these Soleil yogurts in the supermarket last week. 60 calories for 150g tub. They came in a 6 pack and they're ideal for that mid afternoon or after dinner snack. I'm in Australia but I'm sure you guys have something similar in your country. Check the labels.

    In my experience, the" Fills you up quickly at low calories" is a tie between bok choy and jicama. For taste, jicama wins as it is deceptively sweet. 100 grams of jicama is ridiculously low in calories and high in fiber. I bought one root, used it, and haven't bought another, but I was impressed.

    I make a salad from shredded cabbage, half a cucumber, parsley. I add some salt, pepper and sugar, and lemon juice instead of the oil.

    150 grams is only 35 calories.

    With grilled or steam fish for protein it's a perfect light but very satisfying lunch.

    If you like mushrooms, try roasted portabella caps. I slice and season them, and roast them in the oven. Pretty low calorie and they are very hearty and filling.

    I never understand studies like this. Apples and oranges make me ravenously hungry and they're usually considered to be more satiating foods. I think my body must be broken.

    Depends on how low calorie you are looking for but here are a few of my "go to" foods that seem to satisfy me most of the time (snacks/lunches)!

    -Yoplait light and fit Greek yogurt
    -1 cup of fruit -strawberries/blue berries
    -2 slices of turkey, lettuce on josephs flax lavash bread (1/2) good for lunch- plus fruit
    -salsa and baked josephs flax lavash bread (1/2 wrap is 60 calories) - cut into sqares and bake - they are kind of like tortilla once baked
    -Josephs flax lavash bread (1/2) - baked with cinnamon and sugar - eaten with 1/2- 1 cup fruit
    -1/2 cup of strawberries with light cool whip or jello sugar free pudding
    -Steamed broccoli and carrots w/ baked skinless chicken breast
    -Baked skinless chicken breast, shredded and tossed in buffalo sauce (not hot wing sauce) wrapped up in a lettuce leaf with other veggies of your choice.
    -Laughing cow cheese w/ baked josephs flax lavash bread (1/2)
    -Smart pop- popcorn - single serving
    -Spaghetti squash topped with taco meat (ground turkey) and part skin mozz cheese
    -Cabbage - stir fried, added to salad, wraps etc - very low cal - 20 cals a cup I believe
    -Cauliflower crust pizza


    Hope this helps! :)
