There are some foods, I'm learning, that are almost FREE of calories!

Yipppeeee!

One I enjoy, and have been thrilled to discover is PICKLES! ;-P

I'm just wondering... since I'm NEW at this calorie-counting thing and all ... if some of you would share YOUR favorite nearly-no-calorie foods/snacks?

    Again now "0" but I love the Swiss Miss Diet Cocoa. For 25 calories a pouch...it is good! Sometimes I make a bigger mug for 50 calories :)

    I also love celery, broccoli, strawberries, etc!!

    apples are great and they have calories but they are a neutral food and that is where it takes just as many calories to digest them soo that is great

    Loving the strawberries, celeries, boiled broccoli. apples, pears, oranges, anything with sugar really .lol

    i dont want to burst your bubble, but watch out on the sodium content of your pickels.
    rinse them out before you eat them, that will help.
    hummmmm pickels :smile:

    hoo, and i make good soup thats got only 100 cal per bol and its really filling, always got some of that in the fridge !

    Cabbage is my miracle food, 13 calories for 1 cup. I shred it and put it in EVERYTHING as a filler :) Like if I make a rice dish, I add a whole bunch of cooked shredded cabbage and it really "beefs" up a plate of food :)

    zucchini (courgette)
    tomatoes
    air-popped popcorn (I do it it microwave)
    lettuce and all kind of green leaves like spinach, rocket etc
    ex. yesterday I made a yummy salad with lettuce, rocket, tomatoes, cucumber, a few olives, cooked salmon and yogurt dressing with whatever spices you like mmmmmm :smile:
    BTW - natural yogurt is a great base for dressings, much lower in cals and healthier than oil

    I know it's not the best food (if you can call it a food) in the world, but sometimes Diet Mug Root Beer just hits the spot and gets rid of that sweet craving for me. Zero calories to boot!

    But otherwise, roasted sweet potatoes, onions, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, butternut squash, peppers--they're all so good and sweet when they're roasted. I'm addicted!

    Kraft Handi Snacks Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding cups--45 calories and takes care of the chocolate cravings! Good as is but it you want you can add some Splenda or Equal.
