Foods That Are Very Low in Calories

 

9. Cauliflower


Cauliflower is typically seen as a white head inside green leaves. Less common varieties have purple, orange, and yellow heads.

In recent years, cauliflower has become very popular as a substitute for higher carb vegetables or grains. For example, cauliflower “rice” and cauliflower pizza crusts are popular among those on lower carb diets.

A cup (155 grams) of cooked cauliflower provides 40 calories and only 8 grams of carbs.

10. Celery


Because of its high water content, celery is very low in calories. Try pairing celery sticks with natural peanut butter and a sprinkling of raisins for a classic snacking combination that provides a filling mix of protein, fat, and fiber.

There are only 17 calories in 1 cup (120 grams) of celery.
