- hummus - LOVE it with carrots
- apples, pears, oranges (grab and go fruit)
- spinach (huge amounts topped with small amounts of candied nuts and cheese with a low sugar vinaigrette, mixed into soups, added to omelets, etc)
- tuna (I go through phases where I"ll eat tons, then not touch it for a month or so)
- cucumbers (I just take a big hunk of cucumber and a wedge of laughing cow... I smear on a touch of cheese, take the bite, repeat )
- sugar free jello (I dissolve the jello in about a cup of water, then add diet ginger ale for the rest)
and I second hot tea, pickles, oatmeal, and tzatziki - love them all
My plain low-fat yogurt, love it with a little spenda.
Sargento light string cheese-50 calories
Special K multi-grain crackers, love these!
Unsweetend almond milk- 40 cals per cup
And all fresh veggies. Don't know what I would do with out all the good veggies!
Honestly, except for some meat, there's really nothing in my house that is full calories or full fat so I can't do without every low-cal food!
However, some of my current favorites are fruit (I never used to be a fruit person and now I can't get enough bananas, apples, oranges and strawberries), Laughing Cow wedges, Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla and Chocolate Almond Milk, 100 calorie popcorn mini-bags, Flat Out Italian flavor flat bread and Market Pantry 0 calorie drink mixes, Cherry Limeade being my fave.
Crystal light - otherwise I have no chance at getting my water in
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts - I eat so much of it and I know I should learn to eat cheaper cuts, but taking out the 'ick' factor is worth it to me.

If you didn't know and these stores are convenient to you, Target and Kroger / King Soopers both make drink mixes that have 0 calories per serving instead of the 5 in Crystal Light. I drink about 96 oz a day so that would be 50 calories on water if I hadn't found the 0 calorie ones. Hope you don't mind that I shared.

AMEN!!!!!!
I am going at this from a healthy diet perspective. Because in a perfect world I wounldn't eat so much of it but from a trying to be healthy world I couldn't live without low fat yogurt.

HUMMUS! Yum! One thing I always have in the house too, at Trader Joe's they have an eggplant hummus that is DELICIOUS and only 35 calories per two table spoons, I eat it with cucumbers as well .
What are some low calorie foods you can't do without?
