If you’re counting calories – I’ve got a bunch of food you can eat that won’t count at all...


There are more foods than you think with a calorie count of zero... 

According to nutritionist Monica Reinagel, zero-calorie foods may have some calories – but the calories our bodies burn while breaking them down cancel them out. Here is her list of zero-calorie foods to stock up on:



• Cucumbers
• Citrus fruit
• Celery
• Apples
• Kelp or seaweed
• Apricots
• Watermelon
• Tomatoes
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Strawberries
• Leafy Greens
• Red Chili Peppers
• Mushrooms
• Red Bell Pepper
• Summer Squash
• Turnips

The energy it takes for us to chew and digest these foods make up for most, if not all of the calories consumed. Monica says if we stock up on these foods and stay hydrated with plenty of water, we’ll be getting tons of nutrients and have less time and room for higher calorie snacks.
