Soups are good for you, but there are other items that can help you through the day. Some of the problem with calories is "FEELING FULL". Do you feel full?
If you take a few tablespoons of oil it will not make you full but have alot of calories. If you have a bag of popcorn you will be full (physically) because your stomach is full. BUT, the popcorn is lower in calories and good for you.
I recommend a brand called, "Smart Balance". You can eat the entire bag for under 100 calories. The non buttered version. The buttered version is around 130 calories. The advantage here is it fills you up.
Conclusion : If you have a good bowl of delicious soup and don't feel full instead of having some bread with it have some popcorn. Popcorn has a great nutritional value. The "Smart Balance" Brand is cheap about $3.29 per box of 4 and is a full bag. Some of the other brands are up as high as 350 calories.
This is a great way to keep the calories down and still enjoy some delicious foods !!
