5. Rice cakes
Rice cakes are a go-to snack for many people and unfortunately, they think that consuming them will fill them up, but, in reality, it never really does. “Rice cakes are literally full of air,” Moore says, which is actually why they are so not satisfying on their own.
Feel free to munch on these versatile rounds, but just make sure to pair them with a protein or fat—try nut butter, cheese, or avocado. Nutrition expert Elizabeth Ann Shaw, MS, RDN, CLT suggests “enjoying rice cakes with cottage cheese” she says. And that will magically turn it into a much healthier snack.
