    High volume/low calorie means lots of water.
    Meaning mostly watery veggies and low sugar fruit.

    Another guide I like is the Fullness Factor vs. Nutrition value of this resource:
    http://nutritiondata.self.com/topics/fullness-factor

    here's a sample chart:


    Fullness Factors for Common Foods
    Food FF
    Bean sprouts 4.6
    Watermelon 4.5
    Grapefruit 4.0
    Carrots 3.8
    Oranges 3.5
    Fish, broiled 3.4
    Chicken breast, roasted 3.3
    Apples 3.3
    Sirloin steak, broiled 3.2
    Oatmeal 3.0
    Popcorn 2.9
    Baked potato 2.5
    Lowfat yogurt 2.5
    Banana 2.5
    Macaroni and cheese 2.5
    Brown rice 2.3
    Spaghetti 2.2
    White rice 2.1
    Pizza 2.1
