Friday QOTD: This is more to help me but what is everyones favorite low cal meal/snacks?
Meal: I make my own vegetable soup that I LOVE. I throw in any vegetables I have (right now, onions, garlic, leeks, carrots, celery, potatoes), saute in a little olive oil, add low salt chicken stock, cook for about 45 minutes, use my handy-dandy immersion blender and puree the whole thing. Awesome. Reminds me of pureed soups from Ireland.
For snacks, I'm not a huge snacker (luckily) but when I do, string cheese, bananas, and single serving bags of chips or cheese and crackers. Not the 100 calorie packs, but the lunch bag ones. It calms my salty craving without giving me access to a whole bag of salt. As you can tell, I like salt...
Can't wait for the results from this week! Yellow team is kicking butt!0 -

Soup (homemade...not canned) is one of my favorite low cal meals/snacks. You control everything that goes into it, and when you load it up with veggies it also becomes incredibly healthy. It's nice and filling. I'll put it in as a recipe so I know how much is in it. A good one to try that's perfect for fall (I've actually not entered this one yet, but am planning to):
Roasted butternut squash soup
1 butternut squash
4 apples (macs or cortland or anything similar to those two are best)
1/4 c olive oil
Fresh sage...about 1 or 2 tbsp
salt/pepper
Chicken broth (ideally homemade, but if not then the low sodium version is a must), at least 6 cups, but you can add more/less to desired thickness. I think I use about one of those box containers).
Cut/quarter apples and remove core. Cut butternut squash into 1" squares. Coat in olive oil/sage/salt/pepper. Bake in 400 degree oven about 30 minutes (or until everything is soft and slightly browned at the edges). Then, working in batches, puree in a food processor with the chicken broth until smooth (if not mixing add a little more broth). Season with salt/pepper to taste. Place in pot on stove to heat up (at this point you can tweak your broth amount).
My husband goes insane over this...I usually have to make a double batch if I want any leftovers!!0 -
Oo! My favorite low cal snack is melon type fruit because I get SOOOO full on barely any calories. Other than that, 60 calorie sugar free Jello pudding cups or individual bluebell sherbet cups. As you can see, I'm a bit of a sweet tooth ;-) When I want something salty, I like the 100 calorie natural popcorn bags by Orville Reddinbacher, or 100 calorie Ritz or Cheez Its. I have to have portion control so I don't eat the whole box/bag ;-)0

Friday QOTD:
1. Yoplait Light Fat Free yogurts (they come in every flavor imaginable and make a great dessert). 100-110 calories
2. Dry roasted edamame. good for you and filling. (1/3 cup is a serving, 130 cals, and it curbs my salty and crunchy cravings)
3. Hard-boiled eggs
4. Hummus and veggies (or pretzels, but i always measure out the pretzels beforehand)
5. Fruits like clementines (baby oranges), nectarines, mini bananas (55 calories), grapes, etc.)
6. Teddy Grahams! My favs are the Chocolatey Chip and Cinnamon. 24 little Teddy Grahams is 130 cals and it curbs that sweet, crunchy craving. I like to eat things one-by-one (it's weird, i know, but it's something i've always done!) so eating 24 Teddy Grahams is great because it feels like you're eating a lot. it also slows down your eating so your stomach can get the "full" signal and let you know that it's time to stop! (It takes 20 minutes for the body to catch up to our mouths and give us that signal) I always bite off their heads or arms and legs so it's more fun :laugh:0 -
