25 Low-Calorie, Filling Foods To Help You Lose Weight Sustainably – Women’s Health

Squash is full of fiber, water, and antioxidants, making it a great low-calorie food option, says Minchen. Dietary fiber intake is a main predictor of weight loss and dietary adherence in adults consuming low calorie diets because it supports satiety and speeds up bowel movements, per a recent study. Squash is also a good source of complex carbs, which are higher in fiber and digest more slowly than simple carbs, Cording says. "There's a lot to love there," she adds.

Squash is grouped into two categories: summer squash and winter squash, depending on when it's harvested. Try summer squash spiraled into "zoodles" as a yummy alternative to traditional noodles, or a roasted winter squash for natural sweetness.

Summer Squash per serving (1 cup): 21.8 calories, 1.16 g protein, 0.31 g fat, 4.46 g carbs, 3.31 g sugars, 2.3 mg sodium, 1.15 g fiber Winter Squash per serving (1 cup): 63 calories, 1.4 g protein, 0.14 g fat, 16.4 g carbs, 2.8 g fiber, 3.08 g sugar, 5.6 mg sodium
