Street food has always been inviting, welcoming and we can’t resist when we walk by those street stalls whose aroma just pulls you in. When you’re on a diet, this can be particularly hard and it’s almost impossible to will yourself to tear away from that drool-inducing fragrance. 

But here are a few street food options that are low in calorie and will be a welcome treat even when you’re on a diet. 

Boiled Peanuts

These peanuts are often seen in moving cats piled high up. They are a protein-rich snack and you would do well to give in to your hunger pang.
