    I thought the picture looked like rutabaga! Glad I read far enough to see that is what you were talking about. I LOVE rutabaga! I cook them with my roasts. Yum!!

    Cauliflower!!
    I make a cauliflower pizza at least once a week. Just a bag of frozen cauliflower (or fresh if you'd prefer), pop it in the food processor, mix in an egg, some parmesan cheese, and some seasoning, bake it, and use it as a pizza crust :D
    Of course, don't top it with pepperoni and such. I usually do a mixture of greek yogurt and cottage cheese, black bean puree, ground turkey, and some fat free mozzarella.

    At this early point I googled "what are the lowest calorie foods" and what a great list of 25 I highly suggest you do that... I also decided I wanted some punches of flavor and I'm going to hunt for a great cheese that can flavor my salads at just 50 to 100 calories.

    But..so far my favorite diet food is a salad filled with spring lettuce, spinach, romaine, watercress, chopped cucumber, a few cherry tomatoes, 1 tbsp or two of feta cheese..one teaspoon of olive oil..lemon juice and vinegar and toss. It is so green and beautiful..so tasty...and I add grilled fish or seafood to it


    I also love love love..the Atkins bars ..on sale at Walgreens this week. they taste great..low in carbs and calories and pack protein. the double chocolate one is to die for.

    Fun Dip.

    A packet is 50 calories, and while it may just be dyed sugar, I love it so so so so very much.

    Let the flaming begin.

    Cabbage soup, only 40 cals per serving. You may eat as much as you want in a day. By the time you digest it you have completely burned it off. Very filling too. See diary for Prudy's cabbage soup.

    Metamucil. Not really a food, but I take it generally after breakfast and it staves off hunger like nothing else. Also: wasa crackers and laughing cow wedges.

    I might go out tomorrow and get a hot air popcorn maker. We don't really need another gadgets in the kitchen but can't say no to low calories snacking.
    Throw a handful in a paper bag and microwave until it stops popping. Done.

    Chia seeds are AWESOME! I add them to all my drinks, including my protein shakes. They're nutritious (0 net carbs, loaded with fiber, protein and Omega-3s), easy to eat/drink (they taste like mini tapioca balls, so it feels like I'm always having desert when I eat/drink them), they fill you up (they absorb water and expand, keeping you feeling full and hydrated) and they give me the most amazingly cleansing and regular poops!

    Might be a cop-out but I love ground turkey. I really like burgers and hate to give them up so I will have lean turkey patty with diced jalapeno and fat free feta cheese. with baked chips you ALMOST feel le you had a burger and fries. all on a very high fiber sugar free bun. never eat this after 5 PM if I can help it.

    Quinoa,
    Greek yogurt usually liberte,
    pumpkin yogurt can be breakfast with some berries or a dessert with a graham cracker crushed over it,
    spaghetti squash love using it in replacement of noodles in stirfry and spaghetti,
    peanut butter (no sugar)
    making a peanut butter yogurt for my apples allows me to slather my apples in pb goodness without the guilt
    aussie black licorice panda is one of the few sugary treat outside of fruit
    honey greek yogurt frozen treat bars from superstore.. 100 calories and so yummy

    hard boiled eggs, nonfat plain yogurt (great mixed with shredded chicken and reduced fat cheese in a quesadilla/enchilada), fresh mozzarella/tomato salad, tuna salad made with light/low fat mayo.

    I love the celery dipped in wing sauce idea, I'm definitely trying that!

    I have always had a hot air popcorn popper (I think my current one is maybe 15 years old), and I make it for the kids with butter and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese as a special snack. I laughed the other day when we were given a microwave popcorn bag while out somewhere (some promotional thing). The kids had no idea what it was! LOL I popped it for them and they declared their "regular" popcorn to be much better. I wouldn't give it up. I can pop some for me and add some spicy chili powder to it for a kick and enjoy a low-cal snack that is tasty too.

    I love roasted cauliflower seasoned with curry.

    God I love swede, my Mum always makes it with a roast dinner. Mashed with butter and loads of black pepper however you can easily skip the butter and it still tastes good :)

    My secret diet food is probably eggs, two eggs scrambled for breakfast is yummy and full of protein.

    There is a cherry tree near us and our friend picked us some and dehydrated them for us. Practically nothing in calories, and the flavor and tartness take care of any hunger cravings you may get in between meals. Kale chips are wonderful, stir fry with lots of colorful fresh chopped veggies and a little bit of chicken and tons of sriracha is practically nothing in calories and VERY filling for dinner, and spaghetti squash is a godsend. I can't live without spaghetti with homemade sauce, eat it about 3x a week and always have!
