    Tuna and cottage cheese are the only things I can think of that I eat and fit the criteria.

    Vegetables--mostly carbs, but so few calories that there still aren't that many.

    Shrimp.

    Smoked salmon, but it's not really that low cal.

    Spaghetti squash - by far the most filling low calorie food I've eaten

    Spaghetti squash sauteed in coconut oil(healthy fat) served with a can of stewed tomatoes as sauce. Flavor with your favorite spices. Filling and nutritious.

    Meat and non-starchy vegetables. It seems like a generic answer but that's pretty much the basis of every single meal I eat. There's so few calories (and carbs) in meat and vegetables alone that I often need to go out of my way to add high calorie foods like cheese, nuts and added fats to my meals in order to reach a reasonable calorie intake for the day.

    • sashimi sushi and seaweed paper or seaweed salad.
    • green drinks & smoothies


    canned tuna is high in sodium so I personally avoid it. canned foods are dead foods. hummus isnt low
    carb. all beans have a hefty amount of carbs. good for maintaining weight, but not for loosing.

    Eggs. I don't know how they stack up for calories, but I can only eat so many, so when I really want to lose fast, I eat eggs. Until my belly protests by keeping me near a potty all day! TMI, but I didn't want anyone to find that out the hard way.

    I thought hummus was high in carbs because of the chickpeas? ??

    I eat low-fat yogurt. Fage or Stonyfield farm are both good brands.

    Yum! Lox. I might take a little Neufchâtel cream cheese spread it on the lox and wrap it around a trimmed table onion.

    Shirataki noodles steamed with veggies and either Asian sauce (soy, stevia, ginger, garlic, cayenne, cilantro, maybe PB2 powder) or fat free cream cheese/garlic/pepper. You can add a lean protein (shrimp, chicken, etc) for a great low cal meal.
