I’ve done that apple one before! It’s VERY good. But I’ll have to think about that beans one. I try to avoid too many beans because they seem to be so high in sodium. I really like black beans, though. So I’ll be doing some research there for sure!

Thanks, Mom!

Any way, you said you were having soup. Soup with a lot of vegetables, but not much else is really low cal, but can be really boring, so you can make it heartier by merely adding 1/2 cup of kidney beans to each serving. It doesn’t pump the overall calories up that much and it gives you fiber. Yeah, fiber!

Here’s one I haven’t tried that Carole Morgan suggested You peel and cut up an apple into slices, sprinkle a wee bit of sugar on it (unless its a sweet apple anyway), then sprinkle on cinnamon, nutmeg, and (I think) ginger, and put it in the microwave until it’s soft. Just like a crustless apple pie, but with very few calories.

Finally, there are some hamburger buns out there now that are low cal and absolutely delicious. I don’t remember the brand, but just look for them. They are like 80 calories for the whole bun and it is a regular sized bun and tastes like a regular bun!

Go, girl!!
