    I think another one that surprised me was fish and chicken (even chicken thighs). Of course a lot of it comes down to how you prepare it, and I guess bc in the past I’d only eat them fried so I automatically assumed they were higher.

    Oatmeal as well, especially for the amount you get.

    Eggs/egg whites. 130g for around 60ish calories (of egg whites) or two whole eggs for 140 cals.

    Pickles and olives. Also the sugar free popsicles I have been pretty much living off of for the last month. Ugh, SO GOOD.

    Pickles yes. Olives? Nope.

    Yup... well black olives are not too bad... still relatively calorie dense.

    Bacon and potatoes.
    Do you mean like bacon bits?

    Nope. Actual bacon.

    I bought a little travel scale that I carry in my purse. It works great but I feel a bit funny using it in restaurants sometimes. 😊

    I have the ultimate food.

    I think it was called tofu noodles, often referred to as the 'miracle noodle'.

    It has nothing... The nutritional label is all zeros.

    It's tasted horrible, even when you add a nice stir fry to it. Makes you wonder what the hell your eating.

    I made two soups in the last week that have turned out to be great bang for their buck. One is a cabbage roll kinda thing with ground beef, fire roasted canned tomatoes and onions and stuff. The other is a spicy tomato soup with lentils. I can have giant bowls of them for 300-ish cals so room for some toast or something on the side and still a fairly low cal meal that does the job.

    Bing and Rainier cherries. Most. decadent. food. ever, and just 90 calories for 140g. So when I eat 'em by the pound, as I do, I'm downing under 300 calories. Also putting a serious dent in my carb budget for the day, not to mention my grocery budget. Totally worth it on both counts.
