8. Low in Calories

Pickles are low in calories - just 20 per serving - and full of water and fiber, both of which help you remain fuller, for longer. In fact, eating fibrous, fleshy vegetables help regulate your appetite. The water and fiber both help move your food through your gut slowly enough to allow nutrients to be fully absorbed. The fiber also helps regulate your blood sugar, avoiding spikes and crashes that can lead to unhealthy cravings.

Dill pickles can add crunch to sandwiches and even make up a side dish instead of higher-calorie potato chips. They're also a great additive to compound salads, helping reduce the overall calories per serving of chicken or tuna salad by acting as a low-calorie "filler" food.
