0 calorie snacks

Anyone have any suggestions besides celery for a zero or low calorie snack to feel full? Especially at night after dinner, this is when I get most of my cravings!

    Water. No such thing as 0 calorie food

    Cucumber isn't 0 calorie, but it's very low calorie. So is sauerkraut (be careful if you're sensitive to sodium).

    Celery has calories

    Dust?

    Why not put something nutritional and satisfying into your body. Just log it into your calories. Nuts, low cal soup, sautéed veggies you eat with chop sticks (for fun), a few apple slices with some peanut butter....just to name a few. Make all your eating count.

    Celery isn't 0 calories. No food is 0 calories. Water has 0 calories.

    Most fruits and veggies are low cal and pretty filling, so they make great snacks. :)

    Dust has human skin though, which has calories. No hope for low-key cannibals.

    There are no zero calorie foods.

    I just plan ahead and save 200 calories or so for after dinner.

    I had a friend once that would munch on ice cubes to curb her crunch craving without calories. I like to chew gum when my mouth feels like eating but I'm not hungry (if that makes sense).

    Water's been said. Or you can chew on sugar free gum.

    Air popped popcorn is 30 calories a cup.

    I'll just assume you mean low cal.

    Roasted Brussel's sprouts. I like mine with cajun, or mesquite seasoning.
    Roasted broccoli.
    Carrots (raw)
    Sugar snap peas (raw)
    Cucumber (raw)
    Pickles. I prefer kosher dill, but ymmv.
    Melon. Most melons are super tasty, and pretty low cal.
    An apple. Gala and Fuji are the best, but I won't judge if you prefer something else.
    Banana.


    Honestly, when I feel hungry, and have 100-200 calories left, I usually just nuke some frozen grilled chicken breast. It's pretty filling, and tasty (if you have Sriracha or Cholula on hand).

    I budget a few hundred calories for a pre-bed snack.

    I also try to save the calories. Even 100 calories is enough for an awesome snack. Cheese. Chocolate. Mmmmm.

    Some of my lowest calorie snacks, though, are sugar-free jello and sugar-free popsicles. I can also make a reasonable salad with balsamic vinegar for 100 calories.

    I fairly regularly have an ice after supper

    A fab, Solero or similar ...under 90 cals
    A mars bar ice cream...140
    A snickers ice cream ...170

    It's not that high an amount

    Also 0% Greek yogurt...?high in protein, low in calories. Delicious with berries, honey or banana or even a bit of granola

    Ice. All food has calories. Some just have less than others.

    Celestial Seasonings has Cinnamon Apple tea that is 0 cals and sweet enough that you don't need sugar or honey in it. :)

    Celery and salsa really are great to me. Just hits the spot often. But no totally without calories. Still so low, almost!

    I rely on baby dills and popcorn, but I try to keep 100-200 calories for the end of the day just in case.
    I find when I really go all out with water through the day though, it curbs my nighttime snack inclination.

    Some low calories choices I like are cucumber slices, dill pickles, and radishes. They aren't 0 calories, but they aren't much.

    La Zuppa also has a very low cal lentil soup. The serving is small, but apparently it is only 26 cal. I usually add it to my lunchtime chicken, rice and veg for a different flavour.

    Sugar free jelly is a good thing to have in your fridge in my opinion if you are fond of late night snacking. You can eat a lot for very few calories. Also things such as air popped popcorn, again you get a decent volume for low calories.

    My other half and I always joke that if we have a bit of the others food, that it's a zero calorie bite.
    So just eat your friends food.

    That's not zero calorie, that's just that the calories belong to your other half

    *nods*

    Also if you eat a biscuit but break it in two .. calorie leakage
