weight loss journey...week 2: low calorie snack

[Marlean]

I'm Swedish and WASA is an amazing brand. I love most of their stuff. They have more whole grain things than the crisp bread you showed, but I'm not sure if its in the american market.

[plepor]

U r awesome haha xox

If you feel like snacking you can get a bag of low fat Orville Redenbaucher popcorn for 20 calories. sprinkle your favorite seasonings and you have a big bowl of popcorn for 50 calories. See, all of the meals I mentioned are low in calories and fat, high in protein and filling. I am an athlete and love making those meals a few hours before a game, then after the game I refuel with a smoothie of cantalope, kiwi, watermelon, low calorie vanilla youghurt, and protein powder for 150 calories max.

[udieipwn]

You can get a 1/4 of a red and green pepper, sautee them with a 1/4 of an onion and a teaspoon of olive oil for 75 calories. take 2 small corn tortillas and toast them in a pan for 50 calories. throw in a dozen shrimps seasoned with paprika and fresh garlic for 75 calories or less (depending on the size of the shrimps). Or you could use snow crab meat without butter. Squeeze some lime/lemon which both have practically no calories. And you have 2 filling tacos for 200 calories or less!

[udieipwn]

I'm sorry but that is an absolute waste of 200 calories. For 200 calories you can have 24 slices of ham. If you go to your grocery store and buy the thinly shaved slices of ham in water, 6 slices is 50 calories. So, 1 slice of whole wheat oat bread is 35 calories. A drizzle of honey mustard is 15 calories. 1/4 of a cup of fresh skim mozzarella cheese is 50 calories (the mozzaralla that comes in a ball with water). Then you can add 12 slices of ham 100 calories, and fold the bread. 200 calories.

better you avoid that snack, replace it with fruit or veggies.

[hansungpil]

You're sure that's 200? Just looking at it, it's well over 300. And it doesn't look like amount to replace a meal... If you want to diet, you should not eat, mayo, cracker, saulted tuna, not just because of densed calorie food, but processed food, sault, carb make your metabolism worse, make you craving, store energy as fat.

[muzicluva000]

aw i have that bowl :)

[kgm2000]

I am fighting the battle of the bulge. Forgot all about tuna. Thanks, this looks great, going to give it a try.

[Piantini]

replace that real mayo with low fat mayo, you will save at least 70 calories which equals almost 4 of those crackers!

Always have fruits and salad with meals. Fibers are great for holding up a long period of time without getting hungry.

ew 2 u and ew 2 the snack

[SueAz09]

If you like cilantro, red wine vinegar, onion, garlic powder, and green pepper, this is how I make mine. Sometimes I add a very small amount of mayo and lemon too. Yours looked tasty.

[SoftandBeautiful77]

.....lol....i can remember times when i would be too hungry to fix my food....lol...i know it sounds crazy but its so true....lol....i never thought about tuna...i tried eating it just plain...and didn't like it....but now i'm going to try it this way...maybe without the mayo though...i need something i can just throw together that is still healthy eating....

[Dudesinm]

a really fast and easy snack is tuna

only 140 calories per can

just put a little salt/pepper and your good to go

[JCos908]

for women 1500 calorie diet is TOO much ou should only be eating 1200 if your unactive but if your active 1300

[DIEmyBLOOD]

WAY TO GO!!!! I lost over 60lbs eating healthy like that but i only needed to be on a 1,300 calorie diet(said nutritionist) but people who say diets don't work are crazy cause they do.If you exercise and eat  right then you WILL lose weight.

oh hehe BTW at walmart you can get a low fat or fat free mayonnaise now. *^^

[illuminadi]

You could make a nice, hefty sandwhich for the same amount of calories. Healthy Choice sliced bread, 35 calories a slice x 2 = 70 calories. Oscar Meyer Healthy Choice Coldcuts, a serving of 4 slices of turkey or ham = 50 calories. So far we got bread and meat covered at 120 calories total. Slice of low-fat cheese/swiss, 45 calories = 165 calories. A good portion of lettuce, slice tomato = 180 calories. Light mayo or even regular puts you right about 200 cals.

[justani786]

That sure looks yum!

Thanks for sharing!

[lallousheh]

thank u soo much! this is great I love the nice choices!

[deliight]

theres things that fills u up better for 200 kcals

[Anton16445]

Nice:) That made me hungry XD haha

[oishitomoro]

i guess when your dieting anything seems appetizing because you're so hungry. :)

[okjerk]

Sooo true. Sometimes I'm like, "Man, I really need cucumbers with vinegar right now..." And it's like wtf? Who eats that?

[fitcoach2007]

keep up with making good choices.

Add some veggies like celery to your tuna mix.

[pinkpisces]
