10 Filling Low Calorie Foods

Food #1: Boiled Potatoes
Potatoes get a bad rep as they are a starchy food. However, in moderation, potatoes can be a very healthy and filling food. Of course, this does not include everyone’s favorite french fry, as the peeling and frying of the food strips its healthy components and the oil packs on the calories.
When eating potatoes, keep the skin on as this provides fiber. Potatoes are high in water and carbs but very low in fat. The food has a moderate amount of fiber. However, numerous studies have shown that eating boiled potatoes with chicken or steak has shown to decrease caloric intake throughout the day in comparison to just eating meat alone. In addition, boiled potatoes have a very high satiety index score—323—which is one of the highest scores.
