What are your best food products you use to keep your calories low?

My favorite calorie-reducing foods are Egg Beaters, I Can't believe It's not Butter spray, Brummel and Brown spread and Hellman's Reduced Fat Mayo, to name a few. Foods that help me maintain savor and satiety have been so helpful in giving me the ability to maintain my 140 pound weight loss for 30 years.

    Siracha, mustard, pickled vegetables--things with a lot of zing that perk up an otherwise bland (but healthy!) meal.

    Extreme wellness high fiber tortillas - they're 50 calories each and have like 40% of my daily fiber. I make so many different things with these tortillas - wraps, burritos, etc.
    Cauliflower - I replace everything with cauliflower. Cauliflower pizza and cauliflower tots are my favorite, I still haven't figured out a good stir fry recipe.
    Greek yogurt - there are so many uses for greek yogurt. I use Fage to replace sour cream and for baking, and I'll buy Dannon light and fit Greek yogurt for easy breakfasts or snacks.
    Fat free cheese - a lot of people think it's gross, but if it's in the middle of a dish, I can't taste much of a difference and it's a comparison of ~110 calories to 45. With the amount of cheese I use, it comes out to a huge difference.
    Halo Top - I'll eat half a pint for dessert and it's 120-180 calories depending on the flavor.
    Quest bars - the macros on these are nuts so for me, they're super filling. Half a quest bar keeps me full for about 2 hours.

    Egg whites, spicy mustard, sauerkraut, frozen berries, seltzer water, oven roasted veggies (I found out I could do this with frozen and it has been a revelation!), Halo Top, Sara Lee Light 45 calorie bread, sugar free jello. I like to eat so finding room for more food in my daily caloric intake has evolved into an art form.
