I’m often asked, by people who are wanting to lose some fat, what are some of the low calorie foods. While low calorie foods may be what people are looking for, it’s also important that these foods have good nutritional content.
Below is a list of my ten favorite low calorie foods. The table includes the amount of calories per serve as well as amounts of the main macronutrients protein, fat, and carbohydrates.
| Food | Serving | Calories | Fat | Carbohydrates | Protein |
| Cucumber, peeled | 1 slice, 7 g | 0 | 0.01 g | 0.15 g | 0.04 g |
| Garlic, raw | 1 clove, 3 g | 4 | 0.02 g | 0.99 g | 0.19 g |
| Almonds | 1 almond, 1.2 g | 6 | 0.61 g | 0.24 g | 0.26 g |
| Spring Onions | 1 large, 25 g | 8 | 0.05 g | 1.84 g | 0.46 g |
| Mushrooms, raw | ½ cup | 10 | 0.16 g | 1.57 g | 1.48 g |
| Tomato | ½ cup | 13 | 0.15 g | 2.9 g | 0.65 g |
| Apricot | 1 small | 16 | 0.14 g | 3.89 g | 0.49 g |
| Asparagus | ½ cup | 19 | 0.2 g | 3.7 g | 2.16 g |

| Cauliflower | 1 cup | 25 | 0.1 g | 5.3 g | 1.98 g |
Not surprisingly, you will see that all of the low calorie foods in the table above are vegetables, fruit and nuts. There are many other excellent choices such as carrots, beetroot, eggplant, spinach, and blueberries. If you stick to fresh fruit and vegies, you can’t go wrong.
