As registered dietitians, our clients are always asking us what they can eat that won’t cause them to gain weight when they feel like they are a bottomless pit. You know what we’re talking about—those days when you just feel like you want to eat everything—and often do! This happens to us too– eeks! Well, we always tell our clients to fill up on veggies (and this is what we try our best to do too!)—but completely understand that not everyone always wants to just go for veggie crudité. That’s why we’ve created a number of recipes below—fill up on them and you’ll save yourself from indulging in hundreds of calories elsewhere:
