That's the reality for people who have been eating healthy and working out consistently. If you're like me, that is NOT the reality and you need a little help getting there. The problem is, you like to eat! Lol!

With so many different fad diets like the Atkins diet, intermittent fasting, and good ole' calorie counting, sometimes it can be overwhelming deciding what to eat.

 

Lately, I've been on a journey to not only work out consistently, but make smarter choices when it comes to food. It's not that I crawl the internet looking for the best health tips in the world, but on my journey, if I find something that could help others, I share it.

Is this not counted as a superfood?! Watermelon give you hydration, fills you up and it's full of potassium and antioxidants. Don't forget it's also a low calorie food.

Apples

Although a large apple carries close to 150 calories, the fiber in that apple is extremely healthy. Got some apples? Eat up!

Mushrooms

 This low calorie vegetable is one that makes the list. If you've ever considered going vegan, these serve as a great meat substitute due to texture.

One of the best substitutes for rice or starches in general is cauliflower. Low calorie is the way to go and this veggie will certainly help you in that department.
