Teach me your ways.2 -
In Canada Wheatbix is cold cereal just like a giant shredded wheat.1
-
String cheese is low in calories and I was also excited to see that seaweed salad is as well3
-
Plain greek yogurt, either 0% or 2%. I use it as a sour cream substitute and I'm always impressed with how not-calorie dense it is as a topping.2

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!
WhAT BRAND?3 -
For the UK-based, Space Raiders (baked corn snacks) at 58 cals a pack. My local supermarket does them in beef or my fave, pickled onion. My new addiction4

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.
What herbs/spices do you put in?
I second (third? fifth? eighth?) bacon!
Also popcorn. And Laughing Cow. Y'all have said so many great ones!
Ole Xtreme has a 50-calorie tortilla.
A can of tuna.
Pickles.
(These things are starting to make a meal...)

I found a brand of kosher called "Masada" pita that is 116 cals for a regular large pita. I checked the ingredients to see why and it used no fats or oils and that's a huge saving in cals. They are quite dry as a result but a half a minute under the broiler and they get nice and chewy. Also go tto keep them in the fridge as they mold really fast.0 -

Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dill are the biggies for me. If I have green onions on hand, I'll mince up the white of one and mix it in, as well. Just play around and see what tastes good. You could also use ranch dressing seasoning mix or other premixed seasonings.1 -
Sour cream. Parmesan cheese (the cheap kind in the plastic tub) sugar. Only 15 calories for a tsp! Shredded cheese in general... when it’s shredded it always seem like you get more lol. Oh yeah pineapple. You get quite a lot for very few calories. Also cheese its. Oh and bacon.1

Parmesan is fantastic for flavour to gram ratio. I'm also obsessed with spices and herbs and eat a lot of curry, chili, herby stews and the like.
0% greek yogurt, not because I'm scared of the fat but because I'm a tiny human and every calorie counts and I need the protein. Tinned tuna, ditto.
Lemon juice. Traditional mushroom ketchup. Vinegars of all sorts. Miso. Bovril.
Mushrooms. Courgettes. Tomatoes are pretty good too. Cucumbers and related pickles. Sauerkraut. Anything with a low calorie to high flavour ratio, high volume ratio or high protein ratio really.3 -

What!! How? You must tell me! I love grilled cheese sandwiches but can rarely have them due to calories1 -

What's your secret? My grilled cheeses are like double that. I use mayo instead of butter, because butter is so hard to spread, and I go very light on the mayo, but I'd say there's like eighty to a hundred calories right there between both slices. I don't like not using any oil on my bread. And my cheese is 70 calories a slice.
I would kill for a bomb cheese at 200.

Bacon. Popcorn. Sour Cream. Egg whites.
All have been listed, but these were my biggest surprises when I really started paying attention.0 -
Surprisingly, a Krispy Kreme original glazed donut. Only 190 calories. I know that's a lot for the size of the thing, but considering how fatty and sugar laden they are I figured they'd be in the 300s easy.
A donut and a black coffee for breakfast might not be a nutritious breakfast, but if you balance the rest of your calories right, it can still be breakfast and lose weight, at least sometimes. (You may not stay full until lunch, but then again, who knows? I'm not you!)12 -
OMG egg whites are my savior.2

Actually, I completely agree... considering sugar is "the bad guy" simply adding a teaspoon or two of sugar to your wheatbix is actually fine...
The war should be on "Hidden Sugar"..
What's Wheatbix?
It's a Brit/Aus Hot breakfast cereal. I believe it's similar to Farina or Cream of wheat.
Although my Google fu suggests that it's a cold cereal more like the old school giant Kellogg's shredded wheat bricks.
Interesting. Never seen it down in the Midwest.0 -

Actually, it is never served hot generally served by putting two in a bowl and pouring some cold milk over them... Some people like to put berries on top, but I think thats just the people in the advertisements
It is essentially wheat compressed to a brick shape, you pour milk over it... Very high in fibre, iron, folate and stuff. Low in calories, high in GI...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weet-Bix
When you pour milk over the wheatbix it goes soggy over time, some people like them crunchy, some soggy, so milk placement and how quickly you eat it controls that...8
