My Safe Foods (Under 300 Calories)
ā”Strawberries - I have always loved strawberries!! They're only 6 calories per each (large) berry. Come to think of it...why don't I go on a strawberry only diet..?
ā”Raspberries - My second favorite compared to strawberries, raspberries are super low in calories (65 per each cup). I like to eat them with a sweet fruit.
ā”Grapes - I love green grapes, they're only (about) 30 calories per 10 grapes.
ā”Tangerines - Pretty good snacks for me when I am on the go! 47 calories for these <3
ā”Cucumbers/Mini Cucumbers - I love to eat cucumbers with my main meals. I have texture issues with food sometimes so I like to put the mini ones chopped up in wraps or salads. Normal cuc has 16 calories per cup ands mini has 15 per veggie.
ā”Iceberg Lettuce - Literally the only kind of salad I will eat. I like crunchy leaves! One cup shredded is 10 calories!
ā”Tomatoes - I am hesitant to put this one on my list, bc I have never cared for them, but they're pretty good in wraps or sandwiches. A normal sized tomato is 22 calories.
ā”Skinny (brand) pasta - 9 calorie pasta! It's great but the texture reminds me of mushrooms, so if you're not into that probably steer clear. You get a decent portion for only 9 calories so it can look like you're eating a lot if people are getting suspicious.
ā”Rice Cakes (and anything similar to this) - I like to put fruit on top, haven't yet tried cottage cheese. Low cal and feels like a lot of food, 60cals (lightly salted ones).
ā”Wheat Bread - I hate white bread so I just eat wheat instead. It's about 69 calories each slice. I don't eat bread that often, and when I do it's toast lol
ā”Mini Tortillas - 90 calories per wrap and feel filling for when I'm having thoughts of binging.
ā”Raspberry Tea Drink Mix - 5 calorie drink mix that soothes cravings for high calorie juice, AND helps me drink more water. I use the crystal light mix!
ā”Mock-meats - I get pretty sick and lightheaded when I have to stand over a hot stove for long periods of time, so pre-made stuff has always been easier to cook for me. I ate a lot of fried crap, or I would wait too long and the meat would go bad. Fake meat made of tofu and other plant material is a great alternative for me. I like the taste, it lasts longer, and it still has mounds of protein. I love the shredded chicken (190 per 1/3 cup) for small wraps. I also eat the sausage links (200-ish per each link) but I usually will only eat about half.
