    Tuna and cottage cheese are the only things I can think of that I eat and fit the criteria.

    Vegetables--mostly carbs, but so few calories that there still aren't that many.

    Shrimp.

    Smoked salmon, but it's not really that low cal.

    Spaghetti squash sauteed in coconut oil(healthy fat) served with a can of stewed tomatoes as sauce. Flavor with your favorite spices. Filling and nutritious.

    Meat and non-starchy vegetables. It seems like a generic answer but that's pretty much the basis of every single meal I eat. There's so few calories (and carbs) in meat and vegetables alone that I often need to go out of my way to add high calorie foods like cheese, nuts and added fats to my meals in order to reach a reasonable calorie intake for the day.

    • sashimi sushi and seaweed paper or seaweed salad.
    • green drinks & smoothies


    canned tuna is high in sodium so I personally avoid it. canned foods are dead foods. hummus isnt low
    carb. all beans have a hefty amount of carbs. good for maintaining weight, but not for loosing.

    Eggs. I don't know how they stack up for calories, but I can only eat so many, so when I really want to lose fast, I eat eggs. Until my belly protests by keeping me near a potty all day! TMI, but I didn't want anyone to find that out the hard way.

    I thought hummus was high in carbs because of the chickpeas? ??

    I eat low-fat yogurt. Fage or Stonyfield farm are both good brands.

    Yum! Lox. I might take a little Neufchâtel cream cheese spread it on the lox and wrap it around a trimmed table onion.

    Shirataki noodles steamed with veggies and either Asian sauce (soy, stevia, ginger, garlic, cayenne, cilantro, maybe PB2 powder) or fat free cream cheese/garlic/pepper. You can add a lean protein (shrimp, chicken, etc) for a great low cal meal.
