Staying Full While Dieting Is Easier Than You Think With The Right Foods


If you’re trying to watch what you eat, or your doctor has put you on a diet, you know what it’s like to struggle with gnawing hunger even though you’re all out of calories for the day. Sure, chugging a few glasses of water and going to bed may help keep you from raiding the fridge before the sun comes up, but being hungry still sucks. Thankfully, the blog Syatt Fitness has a solid list of foods you can eat and enjoy even if you’re counting calories.

If you eat the right foods — and there are “right foods” of all types: proteins, carbs, fats and even drinks — you can walk away from a meal or snack feeling satisfied both in your stomach and in your head, knowing you haven’t wrecked your diet.

For example, if you’re looking for filling, delicious carbs that are low on calories, popcorn will do the trick. Even better, a pickle spear comes in at about five calories and will leave your stomach happy in more than one way when you’ve finished it.
