Just found out that Pickle spears have ZERO calories! Yay... I love pickles. Sodium is about 100g per spear, but otherwise pretty darn good for ya!

Just thought I would share my new found discovery with everyone!

    Every vegetable is good for you, pickled or not. But they aren't zero calories, just very low calorie.

    Yeah I have recently fallen in love with pickles. I like the zesty ones. They are a good non-sweet snack. Just drink a lot of water after eating them because of the sodium.

    I love pickles, but the sodium will kill me, one whole pickle is something like 560mg of Sodium. I don't even want to think of the sodium in a whole jar of pickles.

    The pickle doesn't contain enough calories that they have to label it on the jar, but a whole jar would give you a few calories. Not a significant number (to me) though.

    I love pickles too! Especially on my burgers. The sodium can make you retain water though and that will definitely have an impact on the scale. :-)
