20 low-fat comfort foods

10 low-fat comfort foods

What are comfort foods? They are tools, stuff food-oriented people use to assuage their emotions. I should know, I have an eating disorder. Using food for comfort is something ingrained in us from infancy. How many times have you seen a mother placating her child with a cracker or cookie? When we were ill, did we not get special food like 7-UP, chicken soup, popsicles? I am not contending whether using food for emotional reasons is good or bad. Obviously if food is ruling your life and ruining your health, it is being used at an unhealthy level. But many of us still use food for more than simple nutrition. Here is a small list of comfort foods that are low-fat (meaning somewhat healthful).
  1. Toasted marshmallows
  2. Chicken noodle soup
  3. Toasted wheat bread with marmalade
  4. Hot cocoa made with skim milk
  5. Hot skim milk frothed with nutmeg
  6. Non-buttered popcorn
  7. Sorbet
  8. Popsicles
  9. Licorice whips
  10. Gummy bears
