Never go hungry again!
11. Look for color in your rice.
Black rice has fewer carbs and calories than white or brown rice, and is full of fiber and antioxidants. Since it’s better for you than its lighter counterparts, you can fill up on it for fewer calories. Black rice can even be used in salads, making those more satisfying as well, since you’ll have room to add more dressing and toppings. If black rice is unavailable, brown rice is also a healthier alternative to plain white rice.
12. Learn to love broccoli.
Some vegetables are known to take more calories to digest than they provide, and broccoli is one of them. Eat it steamed, raw, or in soup. Slow Cooker Broccoli and Cheddar Soup is both filling and delicious. Take this soup to work to avoid those afternoon hunger pangs that can trigger a need to eat junk food.
13. Eat water-based foods.
Water itself can fill you up, but can’t always replace a meal. Water-based foods, such as leafy greens and fruits, are full of water and fibers which make you feel full on just a few calories. Almond Orange Frisee Salad combines water-based foods to keep you full longer with a lot less calories.
14. Fresh fruit instead of dried.
Despite the longer shelf life, dried fruit has almost no water content and has a very high sugar content compared to fresh fruit. Quinoa Fruit Salad with Honey Lime Vinaigrette is a great way to eat clean and it’s a meal by itself.
15. Qunioa is filling and delicious.
Think of quinoa as the perfect superfoood. High protein and good carbs are what makes this food uber healthy. Quinoa can be found in hearty entrees, desserts, and breakfasts. A favorite among SkinnyMs. reader’s, 6-Ingredient Mexican Style Quinoa Salad.
