    Plain yogurt with 1 tsp of sugar, 3/8 cups of granola, 2 squirts of Reddi Whip Cream, 1 teaspoon of cocoa baking powder, and 1/4 cup of fruit makes a great low-calorie dessert for me.

    Canned chicken breast. Get the 10-12oz cans... drain the water... add hot sauce (or buffalo wing sauce). I mix it all up with a fork so it's shredded and delicious. It's filling, low in fat, high in protein, and delicious.

    I'm in love with Skinny Cow ice cream bars. They're delicious and they're 100-150 per serving.

    87 calorie mint chocolate chip ice cream bars if desserts count

    And kimchi jigae and sundubu jigae, though I've always loved this... I just wasn't aware that it wasn't so high in calories for a meal.

    Fresh Salsa! I love it on salads in place of dressing - you can use 1/2 cup for 40 calories! I get the stuff at Sams Club, but I recently noticed it does have some added sugar - I found one at my local Publix that is the same calories and no added sugar that I'm going to try (it is more expensive though). If I like it, I'm going to switch. But Yum!!! It's great to cook your chicken in too - throw some chicken breasts in the crockpot and cover with salsa and cook all day - you can then shred it for fillings or salad toppings and even add black beans, corn or 1/2 block lite cream cheese to make it creamy (I can't do the dairy). And the Pace Salsa Verde with Lime juice is amazing cooked that way!

    cous cous

    I love couscous. So filling and really not that bad calorie-wise.

    Fresh salsa doesn't work for me, I'd just eat it right out of the box in one sitting... I love it lol.

    For me it's the 100 calories ice cream bars/cones, frozen yogurt cups, and chocolate bars (those are from Trader Joe's).

    I never was very fond of bananas, but now that I freeze them, I eat one almost everyday.. It's really delicious and also a great snack for warm days.

    Funny, I was thinking about posting a thread like this. Ocean Spray cranberry pomegranate water mixer. It is 5 calories, not zero like most, but the taste is amazing and not too sweet.

    I ordered some flat out hungry girl fold-it's. they're like tortilla buns. 100 calories but really good.

    Fiber one makes a protein bar that tastes just like a candy bar.

    Of course I love my EAS Advantage pre-packaged protein shakes. Chocolate Fudge, yum!

    Probably the product that's helped me the most is Maple Grove Farms Fat Free Balsamic Vinegarette. It's 15 calories for 2 Tablespoons. Love it!!! But you kinda have to like vinegar.

    Thanks for the tip on the chicken hot dogs. I love hot dogs. I will have to try them.

    Kiwi with the skin still on it.
    very filling for the caloric content, probably related to the fiber on the skin

    I get the Hebrew national 97 fat free hot dogs. They are only 45 calories :). I also love Quakers- you can have 14 for 100 calories and they are pretty big and they're filling.

    Frozen grapes.

    "Ice cream" made from frozen blenderised bananas.

    Bit crazy about homemade soups lately. I now always make a huge pot of lovely vegetable soup (tomato/basil, carrot/coriander, minestrone, roast pepper/tomato soup, spinach soup, butternut squash etc) on Sunday, divide it into one portion containers and then freeze/refrigerate them to eat at lunch, dinner or for a snack the entire week. Great way to get your veggies in and not heavy on cals.
