20 Foods Under 50 Calories

If you’re calorie counter like me, then you’ve probably figured out a few things about calories and food. The primary one being that not all calories are created equal. Sure you can eat that bag of M&M’s but in 30 minutes your blood sugar will spike, you’ll be craving more and more and so the vicious cycle of sugar highs and lows begins as does the overeating. Just because you’re counting calories doesn’t mean swapping the bad stuff and skimping on the good. You still need to eat healthy, well-balanced and nutritious meals even when you’re counting calories and trying to lose weight. Our bodies do not operate properly when they’re not being fueled with good food and the chances for weight loss diminish and long-term maintenance  if we’re on a low calorie diet consisted of junk. Remember weight loss is about changing your relationship with food , making healthy habits and changing for life. Once you discover what your healthy is, you’ll be well on your way. Today I share with you 20 foods under 50 calories. All healthy, whole foods that are naturally low in calories and delicious too!
