Lowest Calories

No foods are truly 0 calories. All food has calories. Some foods have less than 5 per serving and can be labeled as zero - but take pickles as you mentioned - it is an extremely small amount of pickles that make a serving when it is labeled as 0. A whole pickle is about 20 calories - at least the kind I buy. They label the serving as 1/4 of a pickle to be able to say its so low calories.

Zero calorie foods:
water

US manufacturers can call foods "zero calories" if they have fewer than 5 calories per serving, so most things that claim to be zero calories are really not. That may or may not matter to you, depending on how accurately you want to log. Source: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=101.60

Under 40 calories:
Tea or coffee
Many non-starchy vegetables, such as celery, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, spinach, etc. You can add a little low-calorie dressing, like Bolthouse Farms, or salsa.
About half of a small apple or banana, a small orange, melon, a cup to a half cup of berries (depending on the berry).
Five almonds.

Laughing Cow cheese wedges are 35-50 calories each, depending on the flavor.

Some breads are actually in the 35-50 calorie range. I get Heiner's 35 (35 calories per slice), and Trader Joe's low carb whole wheat tortillas (45 calories each). You could make a half veggie sandwich or a little veggie wrap.

Some dark chocolate bars are around 50 calories for a square--check brands.

Babybel Light cheeses are 50 calories each.

My advice: Save a chunk of your calories each day for snacks, and eat something that's satisfying and that you like rather than trying to find zero calorie solutions.

Sugar free jelly
Seafood sticks
Cucumber sticks
80g blueberries
2 rice cakes
half a medium boiled egg
huge bowl of lettuce
Options hot chocolate but add stevia

EDIT to add, I'd rather go for a 20 minute walk and fit in 100 calorie chocolate dessert or bag of snacks personally

pineapple (slice)

@TeaBea I'll have to try the yogurt whips. Those sound delicious. I actually do this with Jello pudding mix and Greek yogurt. Just mix the powder straight into the yogurt; gives it a mousse-like consistency. (NOT less than 40 cals though, but still awesome.)

I need to try them too. Yoplait has a chocolate/raspberry whipped yogurt that my daughter loves. However, we can rarely find it in the store. I'll have to see if I can make an equivalent at thome.

Olives. Garlic stuffed, or fewer of blue cheese stuffed if you are adventurous. Big flavor, good if you want something salty, or just when you want to bring your fat macro up.
