What foods have you discovered that are surprisingly low cal? I've just found out that Tesco Market value gammon steaks are only 135cals each which I think is fab. Had one for lunch and it was yummy!

    When I lived in England and was having a massive sugar craving I used to eat Pink'n'Whites. You could eat two for something like 100 calories. Yummers, I wish I had one now.

    I second the watermelon! I'm I'm still super hungry at the end of the day but getting close on my calories, I'll eat two cups of watermelon. Another plus? It's so high in water content!

    Third on watermelon. I've really been taking advantage of the summer fruits, so tastey and so light in calories!

    What are Pink & Whites? they sound interesting! I wonder if there is anything similar here in the states?

    I'll have to look at my Walmart when I go this week. Where are they located at in the store? Are they in the frozen section or the produce section?

    This is really cool.

    I often get a snacky/picky craving and don't know what to reach for.

    Here in the UK - I treated myself to a packet of Quavers crisps today (109cals for the 25% extra free).

    Or I too like Crabsticks (they are crab meat, or often pollock as it's cheaper than cod - in a "stick" form" - great for snacking!)

    Or celery with Tzatsiki dip ( the lowest dip ive found) - I think it's yoghurt, mint and cucumber - greek I believe.

    Yum! Love your suggestions too, thanks all.

    It's basically a giant pink and white marshmallow sandwiched between two wafers. There are probably better things to eat, but sometimes a girl just needs a damn cookie... or however you want to categorize the thing.

    At my walmart they are in the aisle with the dried fruit/nuts section. They are always on the top shelf too! They run about 78 cents a bag, It satisfies my sweet tooth and the strawberry banana one has the equivalent of 5 berries and 1 banana

    Here is their website (copy and paste)

    I like the Fiber One Brownies too. Another good snack that I enjoy when I am in the mood for munching is the Sensible Solutions straws. They have Apple Straws which are nicely sweet and veggie straws which are potato chip like. You get 38 straws for 130 calories. I usually have 19 for 65 calories.

    For me it was mustard. Now I put it on everything instead of mayo or dressing or ketchup. Depends on how it is made but usually under 5 calories for a tablespoon or less!

    But seeing this thread is making me VERY jealous! I do not know of ANY of these products in the Netherlands!!! GRRRR - No fair. I will have to put in a USA and UK wish list to my friends from these ideas!

    :-) Cheers, Christy

    What is gammon steak

    basically it starts life the same way ham does, its cured in brine, but ham is boiled in its own juices.
    gammon is usually grilled

    Hebrew National 97% lean hot dogs. They're 100% beef, and only 40 calories.

    They go well with Village Hearth lite wheat hot dog buns, they're 80 calories and have 7 grams of fiber. They make bread and hamburger buns as well.

    But watermelon contains a lot of sugar, doesn't it?
    And GI is very very high for a fruit.
