    Hate to say it but think only zero calorie things are diet pops, water, maybe some salad but not sure about that as hate the stuff, but I don't honestly know of any solid foods that have zero calories.

    Air? I really don't think there's a lot of calorie free foods unless, as Snookums said, you want a diet of diet soda and water.

    Although, you burn more calories eatin celery than the calories it actually contains but I don't think a diet of just celery is very healthy.

    http://www.healthbeckon.com/zero-calorie-foods/ these are more "really low calorie" foods than "zero calorie", but I hope it's helpful!

    Nope!
    From your profile - "So this is my THIRD time trying for this!!"

    Maybe that's a sign you should be looking for long term sustainability rather than a quick fix? A reasonable and appropriate calorie deficit for as long as it takes might just work....

    No such thing as "calorie free" food. Water or chemical laden diet soda.

    Sijomial is correct. You many lose pounds starving yourself, but you will be losing muscle mass, not all fat. By doing that you set yourself up for failure later. Not only will you gain the weight back, but you will make your body more frail and when you get older you will have many more issues than if you try to eat healthy rather than starve your body.

    Think of food as fuel for your body. Your car doesn't get far without gas, right? Feed your body what it needs.

    Try some delicious air with a side of dirt toppings and a water to wash it down.

    Diet Coke and cigarettes? (PLEASE, don't do this, people).

    No such thing as calorie free foods. Meals are fuel for our bodies, and fuel necessarily has calories. Eat sensibly.

    Water. The word you are looking for is water.

    But seriously no food is calorie free. Sugar substitutes and diet beverages don't count as food.

    I mean honestly this isn't the way to go, but a great calorie free snack is celery.

    Apparently dirt has some trace of calories, so... skip the dirt and double up on the air.

    Sweetie, you need calories. Make good choices...fruits, veggies, whole grains. I'm not food/nutrition expert, but you need to fuel the body, not deny it anything.

    Ummm...there are no calorie free meals. Also, you need calories...calories are energy...you just have to eat fewer calories than your body requires to lose weight...eating no calories is a really bad idea.

    Definition of calorie (n)

    cal·o·rie
    [ kálləree ]

    1.unit of energy: a unit of energy equal to 4.1855 joules, originally defined as the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of pure water by 1º C.
    2.larger unit of energy: a unit of energy equal to the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of pure water by 1º C
    3.unit of food energy: a unit of energy-producing potential in food, equal to one large calorie.

    This is why you don't want to eat 0 calorie food.

    No.

    A meal by definition is food. Food by definition has nutritional value. Calorie-free does not a meal make.

    Do you mean Zero Points? I don't know - I don't do Weight Watchers....
    Or do you mean food that takes more energy to digest than calories ingested? Celery? Bran?

    I'd like to find me free calories personally. I guess the axiom holds true "no free lunch."

    What is your calorie goal each day? Are you logging your meals and exercise with MFP? If so, you don't need to worry about "calorie-free meals" because you just have to fit your meals into your calorie budget. Plus, you can exercise to gain more calories in your budget!

    Use MyFitnessPal (MFP) to log calories in and calories out. Click Goals > Change Goals > Guided, Continue, enter in your accurate information and realistic goal weight, and click Update Profile. MFP will give you good information on how many calories you should eat each day to safely lose weight. Good luck! :)

    Technically, not even diet soda is calorie-free.

    Food is fuel! Learn to have a functional relationship with food. You wouldn't drive your car without gas so don't try to "drive" your body without calories!

    There are no calorie free foods. Even the ones that say 0 calories on the label actually have some calories; they just get to round down if it's less than 5.

    What's your calorie goal?

    OP - how do you plan on living eating these calorie free meals…???
