3. Jello sugar-free

A game-changing dessert alternative that's only a few calories per serving and helps curb your sweet tooth while staying in a deficit.

5. Sweet potatoes

Full of fibre and slow-digesting carbs to keep you satisfied for hours without crashing your energy.

6. Berries

High in fibre and antioxidants with natural sweetness. Great for volume snacking or tossing into yoghurt or oats.

7. Russet potatoes

Cheap, clean carbs that are super filling when baked or air-fried. Add seasonings for flavour without extra calories.

8. Shirataki noodles

Super low-cal and high in fibre. A pasta substitute that can help you fill your plate without blowing your goals.

High in casein protein that digests slowly and keeps you full. Great for late-night hunger or post-workout fuel.
