Best 0 calorie/low calorie foods?



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering what your favorite foods were that were no/low calorie, such as Soups, Snacks, beverages, etc.

I had done weight watchers and remember we had a lot of 0 point foods. This could be for pre op or for post op if you are hungry.

Thanks,Audree

Trader Joes makes a great rice cracker, Savory Thin Mini,37 crackers only 130cals and the Multi Seed with Soy Sauce, 35 crackers has 110 calories. I eat smoked salmon with mine, and they have a great crunch. Really satifies the munchies.

Flavor-Ice Light popsicles! 2 calories each -- woohoo! I couldn't live without them.

I also like caramel sugar free Jello -- the pre-made kind. I put them in the freezer and they come out the consistency of sorbet. It really does a good job of curing my occasional desire for Haagen Daaz Dulce de Leche ice cream and for only 60 cals (with some Protein to boot).

My favorite Breakfast is Lipton Cup A Soup, Tomato with Croutons. 90 cals of yummy deliciousness. I usually eat it with 1/2 c whipped cottage cheese (whipped makes all the difference --YUM) for 18 grams of Protein in only 150 cals to start my day.

If I feel like candy, I eat about a half box of Ice Breakers Sours (in the gum aisle). Tastes like sweet tarts and 3 of the 4 flavors have zero calories per serving. Of course, zero calories is never zero calories (the FDA says you can label something a "calorie free" food if it has less than 5 cals per serving). Thus there's somewhere between 50 and 100 cals per entire container. I usually can't eat more than a third of the container (20 mints or so) without my sour taste buds going on overdrive, so somewhere in the range of 25 calories cuts my candy craving.

Those are my only tricks. I'd love to hear more!

My new favorite is SF/Decaf Chai tea (David Rio Pink Flamingo vanilla sugar free Instant Chai) mixed with soy milk in the blender with ice. If I work it right it has the consistency of shaved ice and it is goooood... The only place I have found it is World Market, but it is well worth a trip.

SF Jello with SF cool whip works on my sweet tooth too.

I don't know if these are any good but I ordered them today. They are "noodles" with no calories and lots of Fiber. Supposedly they don't have their own taste but take on the taste of what you are cooking with, much like tofu??????

I will let you all know how they are once I try them.

I love the Orville Reddenbacher carmel popcorn cakes. Like rice but made of popcorn. I find them at Walmart. Special K meal bars (meal not snack). Find with the slim fast bars.

My nutrionist told me to eat those Special K Protein Meal Bars for Breakfast, not to have Protein shakes. Better to have solids than Protein Shakes. What about having a little shake and a bar, or shake for a snack to get your Protein.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
