Are any foods calorie free OR Tracking free like in Weight Watchers?

    Nope. Every calorie counts. But veggies have a lot more bang for your buck. 100 calories of cookies is maybe 2. 100 calores of baby carrots is over 2 cups.

    celery has very minimal calories and actually takes up more calorie to burn as its getting digested :)

    Pickles are almost free. If you look at the calorie content it is extremely low. For example, 3 spicy baby dill pickles are 5 calories. I've even seen some that say 0.

    celery. I don't remember if it has flat 0, or just that chewing it burns more calories than it contains.... but effectively 0, either way.

    I did WW and I didn't like it. There were too many extra steps to keeping track. I love MFP because it's calorie counting. Not complex. No sliding rulers to carry with you everywhere and plug in calories fat and carbs to figure out points. It was a pain in the butt. I lost maybe 10 lbs with WW over the course of almost a year. And gained it back. I've lost 31 lbs with MFP in 5 months. ANd i have no doubts that I'll keep it off as it has been a complete lifestyle change. Best of luck to you; I vote for MFP!!

    Zero calorie foods include um. Artificial sweeteners. Salt. Most spices.
    Tracking free in weight watchers meaning zero points...? Most water-based, high-fiber vegetables probably are.
    If you're really just looking to occupy your mouth, try sugar-free gum. Technically it's 5 calories, but I don't bother counting it, and it comes in loads of flavors. If you want something else, maybe make some ice cubes with a tad of splenda, water and lemon/lime/orange juice. I bet that'd be especially good in the summer. There are no real zero-calorie foods, but there are some that come close enough.

    MFP only works if you log every single calorie and every calorie burnt in exercise. But it's not as hard or time consuming as people think most of the time. I only spend a few minutes every day logging, spread out over the day. I only really notice it because I know it's leading to good things for me.
