Low calorie foods list at a glance

Food group	Foods on this list	Calorie range per serving	Lowest pick
Vegetables	20	2–52	Arugula, ½ cup: 2
Fruits	14	42–95	Kiwi, 1 fruit: 42
Lean proteins, beans and tofu	15	17–148	Egg white: 17
Dairy and milk	6	21–100	Parmesan, 1 tbsp: 21
Whole grains and starchy vegetables	9	31–124	Popcorn, 1 cup: 31
Soups, sauces and snack extras	9	3–36	Mustard, 1 tsp: 3
Drinks	5	0–2	Water and club soda: 0

What "low calorie" means: on a package label, the FDA allows "low calorie" only when a food has 40 calories or less per reference serving (for most foods), and "calorie free" when it has under 5, under 21 CFR 101.60. Main dishes and meals qualify at 120 calories or less per 100 grams. At home, the term is looser: foods that give a lot of food, protein or fiber for the calories. That's how this list works, so lean proteins at 100 to 150 calories are included because they keep you full.

78 low calorie foods by food group

Each number is the USDA SR Legacy value for that food at USDA's own serving weight, sorted lowest calorie first. Check labels on packaged foods.

Vegetables

Why they help: the CDC says the water and fiber in vegetables and fruits help you feel full and can reduce hunger, and that vegetables and fruits are lower in calories. Fresh, frozen and canned all count; the CDC says frozen and canned can be just as nutritious if there's no added salt, sugar or syrup.

#	Food	Serving	Calories	Protein (g)	Fiber (g)	Tip
1	Arugula	½ cup	2	0.3	0.2	Peppery; tops pizza, eggs and sandwiches.

Cook them into meals: vegetable soup recipe, cabbage soup, salad recipes and sheet pan dinners.

Fruits

Why they help: whole fruit brings fiber that juice leaves behind. The CDC says to choose whole fruit over juice because the fiber helps you feel full, and to skip fruit drinks with added sugar.

#	Food	Serving	Calories	Protein (g)	Fiber (g)	Tip
21	Kiwi	1 fruit	42	0.8	2.1	Halve and scoop with a spoon.
22	Strawberries	1 cup whole	46	1	2.9	Frozen unsweetened is a budget swap.
23	Watermelon	1 cup diced	46	0.9	0.6	About 91% water by weight (USDA).
24	Tangerine	1 medium	47	0.7	1.6	Easy to pack.
25	Grapefruit	½ fruit	52	0.9	2	Sweet-tart; broil with cinnamon.
26	Cantaloupe	1 cup cubes	54	1.3	1.4	Pairs with cottage cheese.

31	Pineapple	1 cup chunks	82	0.9	2.3	Grill or freeze.
32	Blueberries	1 cup	84	1.1	3.6	1 cup is on the CDC list of about-100-calorie snacks.
33	Banana	1 small	90	1.1	2.6	Bananas averaged 66 cents a pound in October (BLS).
34	Apple	1 medium	95	0.5	4.4	A medium apple is on the CDC list of about-100-calorie snacks.

Lean proteins, beans and tofu

Why they help: protein makes a light meal last. Per 100 calories, shrimp gives about 24 grams of protein, canned light tuna about 23, cod and egg whites about 22 and 21, and roasted chicken breast about 19, by USDA values. For the full protein chart, see high protein foods.

#	Food	Serving	Calories	Protein (g)	Fiber (g)	Tip
35	Egg white	1 large	17	3.6	0	Mix 1 egg with 2 whites for a bigger scramble.
36	Tuna, light, canned in water	3 oz drained	73	16.5	0	The lowest-calorie 3-oz protein on this list.
37	Hard-boiled egg	1 large	78	6.3	0	Batch-cook a dozen for the week.
38	Shrimp, cooked	3 oz	84	20.4	0	Frozen cooked shrimp thaws in minutes.

43	Lentils, cooked	½ cup	115	8.9	7.8	No soaking needed.
44	Canned pink salmon, drained	3 oz	117	19.6	0	Salmon patties or salad.
45	Tofu, firm	¼ block	117	14	1.9	Press, cube and bake.

49	95% lean ground beef, broiled	3 oz	148	22.3	0	Mix half with mushrooms or lentils.

Dairy and milk

Why they help: nonfat Greek yogurt and 1% cottage cheese give about 17 grams of protein per 100 calories (USDA). Skim milk has 83 calories a cup and 8.3 grams of protein, versus 122 calories for 2% milk with about the same protein.

#	Food	Serving	Calories	Protein (g)	Fiber (g)	Tip
50	Grated parmesan	1 tbsp	21	1.4	0	Big flavor in a small amount.
51	Unsweetened almond milk	1 cup	39	1	0.5	Lowest-calorie milk on the list; little protein.
52	Part-skim mozzarella	1 oz	72	6.9	0	String cheese is about this size.
53	1% cottage cheese	4 oz (½ cup)	81	14	0	14 grams of protein.

55	Plain nonfat Greek yogurt	1 container	100	17.3	0	17 grams of protein; top with berries.

Whole grains and starchy vegetables

Why they help: you don't have to drop carbs to eat light. Plain oats, potatoes, sweet potatoes and popcorn are all under 125 calories a serving. The CDC notes fried potatoes are linked to weight gain, so bake, boil or air-fry instead.

#	Food	Serving	Calories	Protein (g)	Fiber (g)	Tip
56	Air-popped popcorn	1 cup	31	1	1.2	A whole grain; 3 cups is still under 100 calories.
57	Rye crispbread cracker	1 cracker	37	1.1	2.5	2.5 grams of fiber each.
58	Pumpkin, canned	½ cup	42	1.3	3.6	Stir into oatmeal or chili.
59	Sweet potato, baked	1 small	54	1.2	2	Bake a tray at once.
60	Potato, boiled in skin	½ cup	68	1.5	1.4	Boiled or baked; the CDC links fried potatoes to weight gain.
61	Whole-wheat bread	1 slice	81	4	1.9	Open-face sandwiches halve the bread.
62	Quinoa, cooked	½ cup	111	4.1	2.6	Cook once, use all week.
63	Brown rice, cooked	½ cup	124	2.8	1.6	Half-and-half with cauliflower rice.
64	Oatmeal, cooked with water	¾ cup	124	4.4	3	Plain oats, not sweetened packets.

Soups, sauces and snack extras

Why they help: flavor and volume for very few calories. Watch the sodium in broth, pickles and sauerkraut.

#	Food	Serving	Calories	Protein (g)	Fiber (g)	Tip
65	Yellow mustard	1 tsp	3	0.2	0.2	Flavor for almost nothing.
66	Dill pickle	1 small spear	4	0.2	0.3	About 283 mg sodium per spear (USDA); check labels.
67	Wakame seaweed	2 tbsp	4	0.3	0.1	For miso soup or salads.
68	Salsa	2 tbsp	10	0.5	0.7	Top eggs, potatoes and chicken.
69	Vegetable broth	1 cup	11	0.5	0	The base for big-bowl soups; about 654 mg sodium a cup (USDA).
70	Chicken broth	1 cup	15	1.6	0	About 924 mg sodium a cup (USDA); pick low sodium.
71	Sugar-free gelatin, prepared	½ cup	23	1	0	A sweet treat with almost no calories.
72	Sauerkraut, canned	1 cup	27	1.3	4.1	A fermented food the CDC links to gut health; salty.
73	Hummus	1 tbsp	36	1.2	0.8	2 tbsp with 1 cup of carrots is a CDC 100-calorie snack.

Drinks

Why they help: the CDC recommends avoiding sugar-sweetened drinks because of their added sugars. These have 0 to 2 calories before add-ins.

#	Food	Serving	Calories	Protein (g)	Tip
74	Club soda	12 fl oz	0	0	Add a splash of juice for flavor.
75	Water	8 fl oz	0	0	Plain or with lemon.
76	Lemon juice	1 wedge	1	0	Flavors water, fish and greens.
77	Black coffee	8 fl oz	2	0.3	Creamer and sugar add the calories.
78	Black tea, brewed	8 fl oz	2	0	Hot or iced, unsweetened.

Most filling low calorie foods

"High volume" foods give you a big plate for few calories. Here's how much of each you'd eat to reach 100 calories, using USDA calories per 100 grams.

Most food for 100 calories

Food	Calories per 100 g	Amount for 100 calories
Vegetable broth	5	About 9 cups
Spinach, raw	23	About 14½ cups
Romaine lettuce	17	About 12½ cups shredded
Cucumber	15	About 6½ cups sliced
Celery	14	About 7 cups chopped
White mushrooms	22	About 6½ cups pieces
Radishes	16	About 5½ cups sliced
Zucchini	17	About 4¾ cups chopped
Cabbage	25	About 4½ cups chopped
Cherry tomatoes	18	About 3¾ cups
Cauliflower	25	About 3¾ cups chopped
Spaghetti squash, cooked	27	About 2½ cups
Watermelon	30	About 2¼ cups diced
Strawberries	32	About 2¼ cups whole

Volume tip: the CDC suggests replacing 1 cup of rice or pasta in a dish with 1 cup of vegetables such as broccoli, squash or peppers. The dish stays just as filling with fewer calories.

Most fiber for the calories

Fiber adds bulk. By USDA values, sauerkraut, raspberries, romaine, blackberries and kale each give about 12 to 15 grams of fiber per 100 calories. Asparagus, frozen broccoli, cabbage and radishes give about 10. Raspberries lead the fruit group at 8 grams a cup.

Quick filling combos

Eggs plus vegetables: 2 hard-boiled eggs over 1 cup spinach and 1 cup sliced mushrooms: about 178 calories.
Yogurt plus berries: nonfat Greek yogurt and 1 cup strawberries: 146 calories, 18 grams of protein.
Tuna salad without the mayo: 3 oz tuna, 1 cup celery and mustard: about 90 calories.
Soup first: a cup of broth with vegetables before dinner. The CDC suggests a broth-based vegetable soup instead of a cream-based one.

Sample day of low calorie foods (about 1,350 calories)

This is an example of how the foods fit together, not a calorie prescription. Calorie needs depend on age, sex, size and activity, so ask your doctor or a registered dietitian what's right for you. Totals use the USDA values in the tables, plus 1 tablespoon of olive oil (119 calories, USDA) for cooking dinner.

Meal	What's on the plate	Calories	Protein (g)
Breakfast	¾ cup oatmeal, 1 cup blueberries, 1 cup skim milk, 1 hard-boiled egg	369	20
Lunch	Big salad: 2 cups romaine, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, ½ cup cucumber, 3 oz tuna, ½ cup black beans, 2 tbsp salsa; 1 medium apple	342	28
Snack	Nonfat Greek yogurt with 1 cup strawberries	146	18
Dinner	½ roasted chicken breast, 1 cup broccoli, 1 small baked sweet potato, 1 cup spinach, 1 tbsp olive oil	374	34
Evening snack	3 cups air-popped popcorn with 1 tbsp parmesan	114	5
Total		1,346	105

The day also has about 38 grams of fiber by USDA values. Swap tip: trade tuna for shrimp, chicken for tofu, or oatmeal for 2 eggs and toast; the tables above let you add up any swap.

Low calorie foods on a budget

Many of the cheapest foods in the store are also low in calories. These are the latest BLS U.S. city averages; your store will differ.

Food	BLS average price	What it works out to
Bananas	$0.655 a pound (Oct 2026)	About 66 cents a pound
White potatoes	$0.990 a pound (Oct 2026)	Under $1 a pound
Dried beans	$1.680 a pound (Oct 2026)	Cook a pot for the week
Navel oranges	$1.723 a pound (Sept 2026, latest)	Whole fruit, not juice
Field-grown tomatoes	$2.084 a pound (Oct 2026)	Salads and salsa
Eggs, grade A large	$2.320 a dozen (Oct 2026)	About 19 cents an egg (78 calories)
Strawberries	$2.806 per 12 oz (Oct 2026)	About $1.19 a cup (46 calories)
Boneless chicken breast	$4.099 a pound (Oct 2026)	Raw weight

Math: $2.320 ÷ 12 = $0.193 an egg. A 12-ounce pint is 340.2 grams and USDA's 1 cup of whole strawberries is 144 grams, so a pint is about 2.36 cups and $2.806 ÷ 2.36 = $1.19 a cup.

Money-saving tip: buy frozen. Plain frozen vegetables, berries and fish don't spoil, and the CDC says they can be just as nutritious as fresh.
Money-saving tip: cook dried beans and lentils. They're among the cheapest proteins, and half a cup cooked is about 115 calories with 7 to 8 grams of fiber.
Money-saving tip: lean on cabbage, carrots and potatoes. They keep for weeks and stretch soups and stir-fries.
Money-saving tip: track prices. A grocery price book shows which store has the best price on chicken, yogurt and berries.

Foods that add calories fast

These aren't off-limits, but a little goes a long way. Values are from USDA FoodData Central.

Oils: 1 tablespoon of olive oil is 119 calories. Measure instead of pouring.
Nuts: 1 ounce of dry-roasted pistachios is 162 calories and 1 cup of whole almonds is 828. The CDC's about-100-calorie portions are 25 pistachios or 12 to 14 almonds.
Hummus and cheese: 1 tablespoon of hummus is 36 calories and 1 ounce of grated parmesan is 119.
Fried and breaded foods: breaded, fried shrimp is 206 calories per 3 ounces, versus 84 for plain cooked shrimp.
Sweet drinks and juice: the CDC says fruit juice has little or no fiber, so it doesn't fill you up like whole fruit.

Frequently asked questions

What are low calorie foods? Low calorie foods give you a lot of food, fiber or protein for few calories. Most vegetables, many fruits, lean proteins such as fish, shrimp, egg whites and chicken breast, nonfat dairy, broth and plain drinks fit. On a package, the FDA lets a food say "low calorie" only if it has 40 calories or less per reference serving for most foods.

What foods have almost zero calories? Water, club soda, black coffee and plain brewed tea have 0 to 2 calories a cup, and mustard, pickles, wakame seaweed, arugula and lemon juice have under 5 calories a serving, by USDA FoodData Central values. The FDA allows a "calorie free" label only below 5 calories per serving. No food has truly negative calories.

What low calorie foods keep you full? The most filling low calorie foods are high in water, fiber or protein. Vegetables, berries, melon, broth-based soups, beans, lentils, eggs, fish, chicken breast, nonfat Greek yogurt and air-popped popcorn all fit. The CDC says the water and fiber in vegetables and fruits help you feel full and can reduce hunger.

What are high volume low calorie foods? High volume low calorie foods let you eat a big portion for very few calories. By USDA values, 100 calories buys about 14 cups of raw spinach, 12 cups of shredded romaine, 6 cups of sliced cucumber, 4 cups of chopped zucchini or cabbage, or 2 cups of watermelon or strawberries.

What is the lowest calorie vegetable? Leafy greens and watery vegetables are the lowest. In USDA FoodData Central, ½ cup of arugula has 2 calories, 1 cup of raw spinach or kale 7, 1 cup of shredded romaine 8 and ½ cup of sliced cucumber 8. Celery has 14 calories per 100 grams, the lowest of the vegetables on this list.

What is the lowest calorie fruit? Watermelon, strawberries and melon are among the lowest calorie fruits per cup. USDA lists 1 cup of diced watermelon or whole strawberries at 46 calories and 1 cup of cantaloupe at 54. A whole kiwi is 42 calories and a medium tangerine 47.

What are low calorie high protein foods? Seafood, egg whites, poultry breast, nonfat Greek yogurt and 1% cottage cheese give the most protein per calorie. By USDA values, shrimp has about 24 grams of protein per 100 calories, light tuna about 23 and egg whites about 21. Our high protein foods chart has the full list.

Are eggs a low calorie food? Yes, eggs are a low calorie food. A large hard-boiled egg is 78 calories with 6.3 grams of protein, and a large egg white is 17 calories with 3.6 grams, according to USDA FoodData Central. Cooking them in butter or oil adds calories.

Are bananas and potatoes low calorie? Bananas and potatoes are moderate, not high, in calories. A small banana is 90 calories and ½ cup of potato boiled in its skin is 68, by USDA values. The CDC links fried potatoes to weight gain, so boiling, baking or air-frying keeps them light.

Do low calorie foods help with weight loss? Low calorie foods can help because they let you eat a satisfying amount for fewer calories. The CDC says swapping vegetables and fruits for calorie-dense foods can cut the calories you eat while helping you feel full, but notes total calories still count. Ask your doctor or a registered dietitian for a plan that fits you.

How many calories should I eat a day? There's no single right number. Calorie needs depend on age, sex, size, activity and health, so a doctor or registered dietitian is the best guide. Our free TDEE and BMR calculators give a starting estimate, and the sample day on this page is about 1,350 calories as an example only.

Are low calorie foods cheap? Many are among the cheapest foods in the store. In October 2026 BLS averages, bananas were about 66 cents a pound, white potatoes 99 cents a pound, dried beans $1.68 a pound and eggs $2.32 a dozen, about 19 cents an egg. Frozen vegetables and fruit are budget picks too.

How do I plan meals with low calorie foods? The Meal Planner & Grocery List ($3.99) from HomeBase Paper Co. is a printable with a weekly meal planner, monthly menu, meal prep checklist, aisle-sorted grocery list and pantry and freezer inventories. Pick foods from this list for each meal, then copy them onto the grocery list so you shop once.

Is there a free calorie tracker? Yes, the HomeBase Paper Co. calorie tracker is free. It's a one-page daily log for meals, calories, protein, water, movement, sleep and mood, and we email it to you when you sign up on the calorie tracker page.

Is there a bundle with the meal planner and recipe binder? Yes, the Family Life Admin Bundle is $15.99, compared with $23.95 for its items bought separately. It includes the Meal Planner & Grocery List, the Family Recipe Binder ($6.99 alone), a kids chore chart, a newborn baby tracker and pet health records.
