Low Calorie Foods

If you're watching your calories like me... I have a list of some of the things that I love. I understand that diet isn't all about calories but this post is all about the low calorie foods.... We all know there are low calorie foods such as veggies but these are alternative low calorie foods that would normally be high in calories.


Bolthouse Yogurt Dressing - I found these at Sprouts. They had so many different flavors but the Mango Chipotle grabbed my attention. I love (absolutely LOVE) spicy foods. They were $3.99 for a bottle. I even used it as a sauce for my pork chops during dinner and I loved it. I will have to try new flavors next time. I've been known to buy too many at once and not being able to go through all of them.




PB2 Peanut Butter - I never liked peanut butter and I'm still not a big fan of it but when I find low calorie foods I can eat, I eat it. When I first started dieting for my wedding years ago, I found these ad have been eating them for a long time now. I LOVE the chocolate ones. Who doesn't love chocolate? (Wait, I didn't until I was pregnant with my first baby!) I've seen these at my local Walmart.


Sara Lee 45 Calorie Bread - I admit, these are probably less calories because they're smaller than your typical breads. But still, I still like them. It helps me with my portion control.


Smucker's Sugar Free Jams - I love the Blackberry spread using Splenda to sweeten it. I've also seen it sweeten with other sweeteners if you don't like Splenda.


Shirataki Noodles - Okay, I have to admit although I love the idea of this, I didn't care for how it tasted. Maybe I didn't cook it correctly. I thought it's worth mentioning since I know a few people who swear by it and loves it. I've seen these in the Asian Grocery markets.


Fiber One's 90 Calorie Brownies - I was so in love when I saw they had a Mint brownie! It's so good (not as good as a full flavor sugary, butter brownie) and low in calories. I warm mine up and add 1/4 cup (150 calories) of Thrifty's Mint'N'Chip Ice Cream.... Mint goodness!


Fiber One's 80 Calorie Cereal - Speaking of Fiber One, they have low calorie cereal too! It's only 80 calories for 3/4 cups. And this is chocolate (for my sweet tooth). Wow! Did this just blow your mind?!?! But wait, milk is so high in calories! There's an alternative for that too! Wait for it......


Almond Breeze Almond Unsweetened Vanilla Milk - BAM! haha Okay, I know not a lot of folks don't like almond milk but I do and this one is only 30 calories for 1 cup! Yum! I believe Silk has a similar product too but for some reason I liked the Almond Breeze brand better. So.. A serving of the above cereal and a cup of this milk, you've got a low calorie breakfast (110 calories).
