Six Miraculous Diet Food Finds

6 Miraculous Diet Food Finds

If you're just looking for amazing low-calorie foods to add to your rotation, you MUST check out these incredible food finds from Hungry Girl.........

 
Fiber One Bran Cereal (Original) - "Faux-Fry" ANYTHING

 In case you've been living under a rock, you need to know that Fiber One is no longer your grandma's breakfast cereal. Toss it in a blender, and you'll have low-calorie "breadcrumbs" that are PERFECT for baking up foods that taste exactly like your fried favorites. Just season the crumbs with spices like garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, etc. Then dip your food in an egg substitute, coat it in the crumbs, and bake it at a high temperature until crispy. Voila! Faux-fried goodies that are good for you! 

 
Powdered Peanut Butter - Whip Up Super-Low-Fat Peanut Butter

Even reduced-fat peanut butter still packs close to 200 calories and 12g fat into 2 tablespoons. That's why powdered peanut butter -- like PB2 
and FitNutz Butter -- is the breakout food find of the century. It's made with defatted peanuts, so there's hardly any fat at all, and it's super-low in calories. Just mix 2 tablespoons of the powder with a little water, and you'll have creamy peanut butter with just around 50 calories and 2g fat. Use it as a spread or in recipes. It's a fantastic way to get peanut butter flavor you crave without a lot of calories or fat.

 

House Foods Tofu Shirataki - Low-Calorie Noodles

If you haven't discovered this brilliant noodle swap yet, you need to! An entire 2-serving bag of Tofu Shirataki has just 40 calories and 1g fat! It comes in 3 shapes -- Fettuccine, Angel Hair, and Spaghetti. And while it doesn't taste exactly like ordinary pasta (it's a bit chewier and a little more "slippery"), it's a total calorie bargain and a great way to enjoy your favorite noodle dishes.  And look for it in the fridge section of the supermarket, near the tofu and wonton wrappers.

 

The Laughing Cow Light Cheese Wedges - Low-Fat Soft Cheese

 
Hasta la vista, Velveeta. So long, cream cheese. The Laughing Cow is taking over the world, one wedge at a time! These individually wrapped creamy cheese hunks come in three light flavors -- Original Swiss, French Onion, and Garlic & Herb. Each piece has just 35 calories and 2g fat. It's amazing as a spread, as a dip, and as an ingredient for creamy sauces. This cheese CAN in fact change your life.

 

Broccoli Cole Slaw - The Good-In-Everything Ingredient
 

This one's brilliant and a no-brainer at the same time. These broccoli, carrot, and purple cabbage shreds will help make boring foods more fun. This stuff is perfect for making side salads, stir-frys, veggie-packed tuna salad, and lots more. It's even good steamed or stir-fried with chunky low-fat marinara sauce and a little reduced-fat Parmesan (it almost tastes like pasta that way!).

 

Vitalicious VitaTops - Decadent High-Fiber Cake 'n' Muffin Swaps

 
Everyone knows the TOP is the best part of the muffin. Not only do these nutritional snacks come in crazy-good flavors (like Fudgy Peanut Butter Chip, Banana Nut, and Triple Chocolate Chunk!), but they're also a calorie-counter's dream. Each VitaTop contains 100 (or less!) high-fiber calories of vitamins, minerals, and other good stuff. These are the perfect way to kick all your carb cravings to the curb this year -- much better than eating 400-calorie muffins and fat-packed brownies! You can find them in the freezer section at select supermarkets.
