Calories in Vegetables

Adding vegetables to a meal is a great way to make the meal more satisfying and keep the overall calories low.  Be generous with the vegetables and you will eat much less of the foods that are high in calories.  Also adding lettuce, tomato, cucumbers or even green peppers to a sandwich will help the sandwich taste more satisfying.  Be careful what you put on the vegetables.  Pepper and garlic powder would be better for you than a big pat of butter or a high calorie salad dressing
