your joking....right? Only water or black tea has no calories.0

There aren't any no calorie foods. The whole deal about a food using more calories to digest than what is contains is a myth. There are some very low calorie foods like iceberg lettuce and celery but they still contain calories.0

Is this really a thread? I'd love to see this list of no-cal foods you speak of.0

cucumbers are my favorite low calorie food, raw or pickles, but pickles can have too much sodium or sugar in them.0

exactly.
I recently bought a cookbook for a fundraiser at a nursing home and in it there was a recipe for "No Calorie Stew" with tomatoes, cabbage, celery, onion, etc. It actually said at the bottom "NO CALORIES so eat as much as you like!" Wat!?
My favorite no cal stuff would be hot tea (plain)...or diet soda, which I drink once or twice a month. Even gum has calories, albeit very few.0 -
Zero cal sodas (for treats of course!)
Some gums which are <1 cal.0 -
Cough drops... Like I'm sick can't there be no calories in cough drops? ~sighs and logs~0

what about pickles that say no calories? I wondered about it because it has 2 carbs. I saw what I wanted (0 calories) and didn't dig deeper.0 -
Cheese? Ice cream? Chips?0

Oxygen and water are pretty cool, I guess.0

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a food that is calorie-free must contain less than five calories per serving. A low-calorie food may offer 40 calories or fewer per serving. Most calorie-free foods are actually either beverages, broths or sugar-free dessert items, such as gelatin, sugar-free hard candy, or condiments. The number of food items that are calorie-free is very limited.
Certain vegetables, in the quantities specified, offer five calories or fewer. Examples include one dill pickle spear, 1 cup chopped watercress or Swiss chard, 1/2 cup raw cucumber slices, 1/3 cup of shredded cooked cabbage, such as Napa or Chinese, 1/4 cup chopped, cooked (or 3/4 cup raw) New Zealand spinach, 1 cup of chopped lettuce (all varieties, including Boston, bibb, red or green leaf, and iceberg), 1/2 cup of sliced radishes, 1/3 cup of sliced summer squash (all varieties), one medium celery stalk, 10 raw bell pepper strips, two cooked or raw asparagus spears, 1/3 cup sliced white mushrooms and 1 cup raw spinach.
