What are your favorite "zero" calorie foods?
Replies
-
soy sauce, tea mix of celestial seasonings raspberry zinger and decaf "regular" tea, grated onions, pickles. Usually my zero calorie foods contain a lot of salt but not always.0

That's completely debunked. There are no negative calorie foods, that's a myth that has been dead for decades but keeps getting resurrected.
Really !! I suggest you research this and come back0 -

I used to love the pomegranate version of this, but my TJ's doesn't carry it any more. I keep hoping it will come back. Coffee and tea are also some of mine (and yes, not truly zero, but close enough that I don't log them).
There are no foods that I'd eat that are so low cal I don't log, but pickles are pretty low calorie if I just want to eat something but have no calories, and peppers, vinegars, and mustards are super low cal for the flavor they add. So I guess a green salad with vinegar.

I think I have a mustard-hoarding problem. Whenever I see a new/different kind I don't have or haven't tried, I buy them. Thing is, I don't use that much at once (does anybody?) and so the jars pile up in the pantry...
Great place to stop when on a road trip: the Mustard Museum in Mt Horeb, Wisconsin.0 -
Let's not nitpick the OP; plenty of foods are so low calorie that they're nearly negligible.
Mine: Bean Sprouts
While I'm not a vegetarian, I could sit and eat bean sprouts by the cup. Each cup has only 8 calories, so that's a ton of munch for your count.0 -
radishes, watermelon, mustards I have several use on veg, zucchini

They may not be zero calories, but at 5 calories per dill spear (typically), you can get a lot of pickle for fairly cheap. And I love me some jewish pickles..

Keep in mind this is only certain pickles, for example all the "sweet" kinds have added sugars or other sweeteners which means 30+ cals per serving vs 20- cals per serving. Focus your hunger on Kosher Dill and Deli\NY Sour-type pickles.
Also, low-calorie foods add up.

please enlighten us as to how a food would contain negative calories..?
A food doesn't contain negative calories... a particular food may contain say 20 calories as an example ... the body has to break this down using energy... this may take 25 calories of energy to do so.... is that simple enough or perhaps a picture is needed...0 -
I just got completely suckered into some pickles "imported" from the Bronx for $8. They had samples, and they were delicious!

Did you read the study I posted earlier? Scientists have actually tested this with the most popular food this myth persists about, celery.
It's not true.

How interesting..... What a broad selection of the population for coming to these obviously conclusive results.. A whole 15 females all with certain height and weight parameters. I mean this must be fact. ha ha ha. To come to any sort of conclusion in any study on the way we as humans burn calories then surely a large spectrum of people must be tested ?? Would you not agree ?? Do think that I that that I would burn of 100g of celery at the same rate as someone half my size ??? Clearly not. This 'study' is simply an observation on a select group. Do you seriously think this is undeniable and conclusive evidence ??0 -

Last week I had a strawberry starburst "ice cream" treat. 70 calories. I thought it was very good.

It is certainly more conclusive than anything you have posted. But if you have any broad study that would suggest otherwise, we are all awaiting.

@psulemon These are all very subjective on the way you wish to look at it. Being a MFP moderator I am sure you are very well aware your body burns calories constantly throughout the day. So lets for sake of argument use a low count and say at your weight you burn 1 calorie a minute. 1 pickle slice costs 5 calories that's all you ate in a 15 minute window it has been abated and you are now at 10 calories burned. Again this is only a way at looking at it, hence why some people could use the argument. Being a Scientist I would never state facts from a study conducted on a limited selection, far too many variables. I personally account for all calories and calories burned to try and be as accurate as possible. So to say there is no Negative foods is 100% correct It is just how some people look at the data.0

Some of my low-cal favs are: banana peppers, pickles, Mrs. Dash, diet coke, sugar-free jello is so good during the summer, watermelon, apples, cucumbers. Too many to list!0
