Somewhat healthy foods that taste good

[Omar 382]

Alright, I've got a Fitbit, and I have been getting some good steps since school ended. 14K, 18K, 15K, 21K, and now 15K today. The problem? I'm logging my calories with the Fitbit app, and in the past five days, I've been between 3,500 and 5,500 calories consumed. I like to eat a lot. So what foods are low in calories, and taste pretty damn good. I've got two:
Morning Star Soy Burgers. 170 calories, and they're fucking delicious. Put on a slice of swiss cheese and a lot of Texas Pete on a whole wheat roll. Delicious.

Wheat Thins. 140 calories, and much healthier than potato chips while almost being just as tasty.

Be careful with those Fitbits if it's something you're depending on heart rate-wise(depending on the model you have, I think). There have been class-action lawsuits, including one right now. Apparently they're not quite as accurate as they claim to be and can be off by as many as 20 beats per minute...

Here's one example from a few hours ago

Omar, i love to eat alot but i can keep my calories around 3000-3500 and maintain my weight, its about find satiety foods, its not always things that taste great, sometimes you need to season them. Brocolli, you can eat pounds of it, popcorn, egg substitute, Lean chicken breast (i eat a 1lb for dinner almost every night) fruits, strawberries, watermelon, canteloupe, honey dew............i can go on for a long time tag me later and i'll reply more cuz im stupid and will forget

I have pretty much cut snack foods out of my diet. Every now and then I'll have hummus and pita chips but that's pretty rare. For foods that have few calories take a look at rice, vegetables, and fruit. Try getting a rice cooker...I bought one from Walmart for $20 and it has a steam basket for vegetables. Rice is pretty filling, you'll probably eat more veggies, and you can still have almost any kind of meat with it since rice and veggies are very versatile.

When I do cook, I try to make healthier versions of the junk foods I like...obviously doesn't taste as good as the real thing, but I'm willing to sacrifice some taste if it's healthier....


My go to items are usually...

-Turkey burgers instead of beef burgers
-Salmon or turkey baked meatballs instead of traditional meatballs
-Chicken sausage dogs as opposed to hot dogs
-Chicken parm in a slow cooker as opposed to the fried version
-Baked sweet potato fries

I've also recently discovered a healthier lower calorie/fat/sugar ice cream at the supermarket that tastes solid.

I have to say, some of those Chicken sausages are DAMN good. I get these good spicy ones here, I really like them...

Definitely a good alternative to hot dogs, and some taste even better IMO than your typical hot dog.

I eat the Bilinski's apple chicken sausage probably every other week...that damn good.

I haven't tried chicken sausage before but I usually substitute ground chicken into sloppy joes.

Have you guys had Andouie Sausages? They're not particularly tasty, but with ketchup and relish (they're chicken), they're not awful.

 

[Omar 382]

Kind Bars are filling as a motherfucker and the dark chocolate ones taste amazing, even better than a candy bar. I think they have 5 grams of fiber. They are fatty, but they're poly and monounsaturated fats

Andouille's should have a nice smoky, garlicky flavor to them. I'm no expert on them, only had the pleasure a few times so far though. Of course, it also depends on who made them and what they used. Recipes like andouille are supposed to be pretty standard, but as with anything else, some people have heavier hands with certain ingredients as opposed to others...
