    These are both surprisingly low in calories.

    All I have to say is, Why does halo top hate Canada?

    They probably have to change their packaging to include French, and they just can’t be bothered to do that.

    Turkey breast slices! You can have multiple slices and they add up to like less than 100 calories and they're very filling!

    If you're talking about lunch meat you should try weighing it. My turkey breast slices say 50g is 4 slices and 50 calories. Well actually 50grams is like 8 slices. It gets crazy.

    The candy Smarties is only 25 calories a roll! I just came off of a fast and decided I would treat myself with something sweet and I still had leftover Smarties from the holidays. I was happy to see how low they are as long as I portion accordingly.

    Oh and icecream. Only 100cals per serving and so don't buy the low sugar kind either... just regular icecream in all kinds of flavors. Enjoying orange chocolate chip right now

    WHAT !!!! ..... I ate a meagre 3 Tesco chippolatas yesterday that whacked in at 300kcal !!!!! ....... looks like I need to change brand to Heck Chicken !

    The smoky paprika Hecks are my favourite - so delicious! Bit higher than the plain at 108kcal for 2, but the flavour is worth it!

    I think my most recent one is realising the costa latte coffee pods are only 21 calories more than the skinny latte pods and there's a big difference in taste. Worth it for 60 something calories definitely!

    Singapore rice noodles. Especially if I shred some cabbage into it and add a variety of veggies, I can eat a massive portion for like 400 calories.

    Also the other day I was scoping out these cherry juju hearts my coworker put out, and I finally caved and ate one. Found out they are only 140 calories for 4 of them. I was so pumped I grabbed 3 more and made that my afternoon snack.

    don't bite my head off but SUGAR. a teaspoon is only 15 calories. very satisfying tastewise and psychologically if you sprinkle some on fruit/whatever else you want or in your hot beverage of choice. makes you realize how much sugar is packed into so many of our foods... because a little can go a long way.

    Actually, I completely agree... considering sugar is "the bad guy" simply adding a teaspoon or two of sugar to your wheatbix is actually fine...

    The war should be on "Hidden Sugar"..

    What's Wheatbix?

    It's a Brit/Aus Hot breakfast cereal. I believe it's similar to Farina or Cream of wheat.

    Although my Google fu suggests that it's a cold cereal more like the old school giant Kellogg's shredded wheat bricks.

    In Canada Wheatbix is cold cereal just like a giant shredded wheat.

    String cheese is low in calories and I was also excited to see that seaweed salad is as well :)

    Plain greek yogurt, either 0% or 2%. I use it as a sour cream substitute and I'm always impressed with how not-calorie dense it is as a topping. :)

    oil free pita bread
    Hmmm never heard of that... very cool...

    So true. Before I got home I was putting together a big Greek dinner full or veggies in my phone. After totaling it all I came to the conclusion I just couldn't have my half pita pocket :(
    When I got home the brand I bought was oil free and holy crap I could eat two pockets if I wanted!

    WhAT BRAND?

    For the UK-based, Space Raiders (baked corn snacks) at 58 cals a pack. My local supermarket does them in beef or my fave, pickled onion. My new addiction :)

    One great thing to do if you're a volume eater is to make dip with it for veggies. Cut up a few veggies, mix some herbs and spices in a cup of plain Greek yogurt, and pig out. So much volume. So much protein. So few calories.

    What herbs/spices do you put in?

    I second (third? fifth? eighth?) bacon!
    Also popcorn. And Laughing Cow. Y'all have said so many great ones!
    Ole Xtreme has a 50-calorie tortilla.
    A can of tuna.
    Pickles.
    (These things are starting to make a meal...)

    I found a brand of kosher called "Masada" pita that is 116 cals for a regular large pita. I checked the ingredients to see why and it used no fats or oils and that's a huge saving in cals. They are quite dry as a result but a half a minute under the broiler and they get nice and chewy. Also go tto keep them in the fridge as they mold really fast.

    Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dill are the biggies for me. If I have green onions on hand, I'll mince up the white of one and mix it in, as well. Just play around and see what tastes good. You could also use ranch dressing seasoning mix or other premixed seasonings.
