BACON.
I definitely thought that it would be WAY worse.
Edit: someone already said it

Cocoa powder. Only 20cal per tablespoon. And it has 15% of daily iron goal. And 1 gram of protein.
Everything should taste like chocolate!20 -
honestly? ham
and potatoes - I definitely thought they were more before I looked it up5 -
Deli sliced lunch meat. Fish. Shrimp. Greens. Puffed wheat and puffed rice cereals. Almond and cashew milks. Pizelles, my new cookie of choice.4

cantaloupe!2

Grilled cheeses. I can make a bomb grilled cheese for less than 200 calories.11

Chick-Fil-A nuggets! Not just the grilled ones (although they are lower). 12 regular nuggets at CFA = 390 calories. This is good for me as I don't ever cook and eat out for every single meal. I've learned to adapt and what I can and can't eat out and what portions I can have. Down 60 lbs. eating out every meal, every day of the week.23

Roasted broccoli. I guess calories depend on how stingy you are with the oil, but regardless, I can eat a HUGE amount of roasted broccoli.
Roasted seaweed. It's about 50 calories or less for a crunchy, salty snack.
Individually wrapped Ghirardelli chocolates. The squares are about 50-70 calories each, depending on which ones you buy; the minis are 35-40 calories each.
Also, Hershey syrup. I put it on my Halo Top. I also have a nice cherry balsamic vinegar that I sometimes put on chocolate Halo Top. Half a tablespoon of either of those options and half a cup of Halo Top will get you a little sundae for about 100 calories or less.8 -

Low calorie bread and a slice of cheese. Omg. And to be really decadent pair it with tomato soup!

Popcorn. I'm always so happy to see how much popcorn I can have for my evening snack.7

The mini popcorn bags are the best ^2

How do you make it? Do you use butter? I love grilled cheese, but to make it good, it always is more than 200 calories.4 -
Hmmm never heard of that... very cool...MelanieCN77 wrote: »oil free pita bread
So true. Before I got home I was putting together a big Greek dinner full or veggies in my phone. After totaling it all I came to the conclusion I just couldn't have my half pita pocket
When I got home the brand I bought was oil free and holy crap I could eat two pockets if I wanted!2 -
I know a lot of us don't like frozen meals but Healthy Choice cafe steamers. Some are under 200 calories!? Also Applebees Thai Shrimp salad, 300ish calories for veggies, edamame, shrimp, wonton bits, Thai peanut sauce, chili lime dressing. Best date night EVER!4

Sally's old world White Pita Bread purchased in Ohio USA was mine3 -
Chicken sausage - if you stick with the savory ones, they're pretty low-cal.
Egg whites
Low-fat mozzarella
Popcorn
Goat cheese
One of my new go-to quick meals for when I don't want to cook is an omlette made with one whole egg and a couple of eggs worth of egg whites, some chopped up chicken sausage, whatever veggies I have on hand (onions, peppers, etc.) and a little low-fat mozzarella. Add a small side of strawberries and half of a whole wheat english muffin? Nice little meal right there.3 -
Freeze dried berries ( Target simply balanced) "110 calories wasn't too bad for a serving"I said with a handful of sweet treats, not realizing 110 was for the WHOLE BAG

Whipped cream. It's only like 10 calories per tablespoon.9
-
Olives2

Olives were one of my "sad they were so high in calories" foods. Wow do they add up fast.10

How do you make it? Do you use butter? I love grilled cheese, but to make it good, it always is more than 200 calories.
1/4 tbsp of butter - 25
1 slice of Kraft American cheese - 60
1 oz of Italian bread - 80
Granted it's half the size of what I use to eat but it's truly my go to snack right now since it's cold out.9 -
Turkey breast slices! You can have multiple slices and they add up to like less than 100 calories and they're very filling!6
-
Since logging what is the one food that blew your mind for having so few calories but still taste great?
What has surprised you the most.
Things like Sour Cream, Mushrooms and Eggs surprised me for how few calories they have... and vegetables remain amazing...
Even lower cal than sour cream and (I think) just as good, plain non-fat Greek yogurt! And it's got digestive enzymes, too!6 -

Better yet, open-faced sandwiches! Load up a slice with lean deli meat and spinach and tomatoes and put a single slice of that good cheese on top and broil it in the oven to melt the cheese. So good! Especially with soup!6 -
Laughing Cow Cheese wedges are basically air! Eat them with a couple of pretzels for a super low cal snack.7

One great thing to do if you're a volume eater is to make dip with it for veggies. Cut up a few veggies, mix some herbs and spices in a cup of plain Greek yogurt, and pig out. So much volume. So much protein. So few calories.5 -
All I have to say is, Why does halo top hate Canada?8
