But when the cravings get out of control and it just so happens that we\u2019re trying to lose some weight, not gain it, then we are sending SOS signals.<\/p>\n<div id=\"adsense001\" class=\"healt-001-adsense\">\n<p>Luckily, there are such foods out there on which you can snack all you want and still maintain a healthy figure. The reason for this is their unbelievably low-calorie content. Here is a list of 17 foods you should not hold back on eating.<\/p>\n<h4>1. Celery \u2013 6 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>Amazing, isn\u2019t it? But it all makes sense once you learn that as much as 95% of celery is made of water. But other than being a great snack choice while you\u2019re dieting, it\u2019s also a really healthy choice! It contains 30% of your daily need of vitamin K.<\/p>\n<p>However, you\u2019d do well do eat your celery fresh, as it can lose most of its benefits after about 5 days of cutting.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Arugula \u2013 10 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>Would you believe there are only 10 calories in two whole cups of arugula? It\u2019s ideal for helping you get fit and not damaging your health in the process, which is most important.<\/p>\n<p>You can combine it with white cheese for better taste or even season it with some healthy olive oil!<\/p>\n<h4>3. Egg Whites \u2013 17 Calories per Egg<\/h4>\n<p>You can freely eat the whites of the eggs all you want, even if you are currently following a strict regime! In order to make a super-simple, super-tasty and super-healthy omelet, simply mix some egg whites with tomatoes (also a low-calorie food we\u2019ll discuss below).<\/p>\n<p>Still, it\u2019s better not to fry them in oil, as that would defeat the purpose of \u2018low calorie\u2019, wouldn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<h4>4. Salad \u2013 10-20 Calories (Depending on the Type)<\/h4>\n<p>Other than being so low on calories, it is also extremely healthy and contains the vitamins A and C, as well as iron and even folic acid.<\/p>\n<p>You can chow down on this magnificent food without ever having to feel guilty no matter how much you consume in a day.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Cucumbers \u2013 16 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>No wonder they\u2019re so low on calories, when they contain practically the same percentage of water as celery does. Plus, the fresh variety is packed with benefits to your health.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it will shock you that the skin of the cucumber is the one which holds the most nutritional value, especially beta-carotene, which is always good for your eyes. So, next time you want to peel your cucumbers, you might want to rethink that decision.<\/p>\n<h4>6. Cauliflower \u2013 25 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>Not only is it so low on caloric content, but it too, like all veggies, is packed with nutritious benefits \u2013 especially if you decide to eat it raw. It\u2019s also a great source of vitamins K and C.<\/p>\n<h4>7. Tomatoes \u2013 25 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>Tomatoes are so low on calories, that they are practically devoid of them. Not to mention all the nutrients they offer us: vitamins A, B2, and C, lycopene, fiber,folic acid, potassium and chromium \u2013 don\u2019t say this in one breath, folks.<\/p>\n<h4>8. Broccoli \u2013 31 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>No wonder it\u2019s a personal favorite of all those who are seeking to lose weight the healthy and natural way. It contains about 20% of the fiber you need on a daily basis, as well as vitamins A, C, K, and E.<\/p>\n<h4>9. Popcorn \u2013 31 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>One cup of these tasty air-popped snacks only contains as little as 31 calories. So next time you watch a movie, feel guilt-free if you grab a bowl of these, since they mostly consist of air.<\/p>\n<p>BUT, for those which are used to the idea that popcorn is a fattening food, just remember to eat the popcorn without any added butter or sugar, since that\u2019s what makes them caloric in the first place.<\/p>\n<h4>10. Kale \u2013 32 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>Not only is it almost devoid of any calories, but it is also an excellent source of iodine. Always a good choice for when you\u2019re feeling peckish.<\/p>\n<h4>11. Sugar Snap Peas \u2013 35 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>They are both tasty and low in caloric content. One cup of sugar snap peas contains 35 calories! And they\u2019re also healthy to boot- great sources of both protein and fiber. What more can one ask for?<\/p>\n<h4>12. Grapefruit \u2013 50 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>They help you in stabilizing your blood sugar levels. They\u2019re also a great source of vitamin C, and help you lose weight the natural and healthy way.<\/p>\n<h4>13. Melon \u2013 55 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>It will not only satisfy any sweet tooth-based cravings you have, but also supply you with the much-needed vitamins C and A.

Strawberries \u2013 50 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>These tasty treats are chock full of fiber and potassium, plus they have an anti-inflammatory effect on your health! A must have for all healthy food lovers, to be sure.<\/p>\n<h4>15. Blackberries \u2013 62 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>They are brimming with vitamin C and antioxidants. Not to mention they taste fantastic. Even for someone who has been on a diet for a long time now, they\u2019re completely safe for consuming.<\/p>\n<p>Plus the caloric content they offer is rather low for the benefits you\u2019re getting!<\/p>\n<h4>16. Oranges \u2013 80 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>They count as some of the tastiest, juiciest fruits Mother Nature\u2019s got to offer us. Like every other citrus fruit, they are known for their high vitamin C content.<\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s a helpful tip for you readers: the white stuff which is under the orange skin is called the pith (in case you didn\u2019t know) and contains a whole lot of fiber, and this, in turn, helps to reduce your bad cholesterol.<\/p>\n<p>So the next time you get into your old habit of peeling off the pith, you may wish to reconsider for your own good.<\/p>\n<h4>17. Blueberries \u2013 85 Calories<\/h4>\n<p>Would you believe they contain more antioxidants than any other fruit out there? Hence, as little as one cup will certainly aid you in balancing your diet.
