7 Foods With Almost Zero Calories

7 Foods With Almost Zero Calories

1. Broccoli

Grow up, broccoli is actually delicious and can be eaten cooked and raw. It’s one of the most nutritionally packed veggies out there and just 100 grams of it has all the vitamin C you need in a day. That’s right, lots of people think citrus fruits have the monopoly on vitamin C, but that’s not true.

2. Arugula

We all need to eat more greens. Arugula has a specific taste that you will either love or hate. But it’s great in salads and it has almost zero calories yet it contains protein, calcium, potassium and vitamin K.

3. Iceberg Lettuce

If you don’t like the taste of arugula, you probably don’t mind iceberg lettuce. It’s crunchy and has a refreshing quality to it. It’s great as a salad base, or as a way of adding crunch and freshness to a sandwich or burger.

4. Mushrooms

Mushrooms are generally low in calories and therefore are great for bulking out stir-fries or even salads. You can also use them as a substitute for meat. Because of their spongy texture, they absorb flavors easily and you can season and make them taste like meat.

5. Cucumber

Cucumbers contain very little calories so they make for a great snack at any time of the day. It’s essentially crunchy water. Refreshing, good for your skin and if you’re not into drinking 8 glasses of water a day you can load up on cucumbers instead.

6.Carrots

Carrots make a great snack, especially if you grab a bag of baby carrots instead of a bag of chips. They’re filling, delicious and full of vitamins. You know how your mom told you carrots are good for eyesight? Well, she wasn’t lying.
