If you're cautious about calories, then you probably already know that lots of foods aren't actually that calorie dense.

Foods that are low in calories but provide a feeling of satiety and fullness can be a great option for those looking to manage their weight or simply reduce calorie intake without feeling deprived. 

Here are some examples of foods that fit this description.

Soups and Broths

Broth-based soups or clear vegetable soups can provide a feeling of satiety without adding many calories. 

They are especially useful when consumed at the start of a meal, as they may help reduce overall food intake during the main course.

Air-popped Popcorn

Popcorn is a whole grain and, when air-popped without excessive butter or oil, it can be a low-calorie and filling snack.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is higher in protein compared to regular yogurt, which can help keep you full for longer.

Eggs

Eggs are a good source of protein and healthy fats, and they can be quite filling.

Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is high in protein and relatively low in calories, making it a filling option, especially when paired with fruits or vegetables.
