1/7
Bell Peppers
Bell peppers are one of the veggies we can safely say are tasty by themselves, whether you choose to stir-fry them or eat them raw. Each medium-sized pepper will only set you back 30 calories, which your body will need to burn in order to digest them, and will keep you full until your next meal is due.
2/7
Broccoli
Broccoli is not only one of the negative-calorie foods, but is also one that offers loads of cancer-fighting phytochemicals that are absolutely beneficial to your body. You don't have to season it very much for a tasty, slightly creamy snack that's packed full of good ol' fibre.
3/7
Celery
Celery is world-famous for being one of the healthiest snacks to munch on during the middle of your day, especially if you live a sedentary lifestyle. 75% of the vegetable is water, while the other 25% is mostly fibre, which makes this a snack you don't have to worry about eating too much of. It is filled with vitamins and nutrients, so you'll probably want to start incorporating this snack into your everyday meals.
4/7
Eggs
Eggs are really great snacks to get your protein fix, and also contain lots of 'good' cholesterol that your body needs to function well. They are also very easy to prepare and keep you full for a really long period of time, which is why lots of people turn to convenient, hard-boiled eggs as their daily breakfast option.
5/7
Quinoa
Quinoa is a superfood that we need to get comfortable with, especially since it's rising in the ranks of food and health trends. It is a wonderful source of protein and fibre, and a great substitute to those unhealthy carbs you're used to eating. You probably don't need much of this food to keep you satiated, since quinoa has a low glycemic index that will keep your tummy filled so you don't crave for bad snacks.
6/7
Blueberries
Blueberries contain little calories, and help to satisfy your sweet tooth when it's acting up. One cup is enough to keep you full for a considerable amount of time, while providing you with antioxidants that will keep your skin healthy and glowing. This is a great alternative to candy, chocolate or anything that you know is bad for you.
7/7
Greek Yoghurt
Plain, unsweetened, low-fat yoghurt is a great option to last you through the middle of the day when you're starting to become tired and hungry. Greek yoghurt contains loads of protein that your body uses more calories to burn, compared to carbs. Feel free to eat it with natural berries for added flavour.

These foods will give you a reason to munch away on their healthy, fat-less goodness.

No, what you’re reading is not a mistake. There are many things that seem too good to be true, but this is not one of them. There are, in fact, many types of food that will not make you fat or put on the pounds, and are famous for their negative-caloric properties. This is only possible because the amount of calories burnt by your body digesting these foods totals to more than the number of calories taken in when you eat them, therefore resulting in a loss in calories instead of a gain.

These are the types of food you should be reaching for when your tummy is whining for a snack but you know you don’t need one. Many times we indulge in unhealthy ones thinking that we won’t do it again, but we do. It’s time to incorporate some healthy habits into our lifestyles by munching on these healthier alternatives instead. Feel free to eat as much as you want, but don’t forget to leave some space for your main meals!
