Potassium is not required on labels, so many entries are missing that nutrient.0
-
Depending on how you define "low in cals", sweet potato and banana are very high in potassium0

Basically anything healthy that is not just fat has a lot of potassium.0

Friend me and check out my food diary. One of my priorities is to eat foods high in potassium. Most people don't care/track anything but carbs, fat, and protein. So oftentimes foods in the database don't list all nutrients, even though the food contains it. I almost always cross-check with the nutritiondata.com database.
My regulars are:
Kale (and other leafy greens)
Chicken (and most other meats)
Pomegranate (juice is good, but everyone should dismantle a pom fruit once just for the sheer joy of it)
Coffee (both decaf and regular)
Chamomile Tea
Potatoes (OMG potatoes so much potassium!)
If you are having a really hard time getting enough potassium after all of that, or don't like those things, you can also get Lite Salt (half potassium/half sodium salt).0 -

Tomato juice
My fave is low sodium V8 juice; 8 oz is 50 cals with 840-900mg of potassium.0
