The Five Best Low-Cal Foods You're Not Eating

Greek yogurt is great! The processed yogurt, people have been eating is no better than a snickers bar. If it taste bad to you its because you have been consuming huge amounts of high fruitose foods/drinks.Put a little honey in it and stir, I love to put smucker's sugerfree preserves, blackberry, and blueberry's my favorite. The broc.slaw was good,pumpkin a no show at my local stores...and the noodles can't find. Can tomatos, no way!

Great ideas but not sure I would like the Greek yogurt. Kroger has a great store brand yogurt that does not have aspartame and comes in great flavors. The pumpkin sounds like a great idea. I have been giving it to my dogs as a filler for years so why not for me. I would love to at least try the noodles.

As far as the foods listed having some negative connotation, that could be said for every food item available to us. Even fresh vegetables had to be picked by some underpaid overworked farmworker or they could come from a country that employs child laborers. Unless we are growing it ourselves and eating what we harvest, there will always be something someone will complain about. You just ahve to pick your battles and do what is right for you.

Paradox, I just read an article about it. No, they aren't coated. The same with many canned fruits that have lead in them. Wake up and read the news.

And guess what: I jarred my own tomatoes. It's easy. You can even freeze them from the summer. Unless you live in Nome, Alaska, you can easily do this. So please, save your snarkiness for someone else.

Oh, but I AM eating all of those foods, except the broccoli cole slaw. I hate cole slaw.

broccoli cole slaw has cabbage in it, so allergy alert.

Everything but that yogurt and the noodles are good.
Yogurt is a texture I just cannot tolerate very often, and I really don't think it all that when it comes to healthy food. It is over-hyped. (Especially Activia!)
A spoon of it or so in something or on fruit is OK....but not a serving or container of it every day.

Good article. I have tried most of these items. Didn't care much for the broccoli slaw, but it is very nutritious. Haven't tried the Japanese noodles either, but might give them a try. Pumpkin is something I love and your suggestions were great! I'm going to try it all.

You should never, ever eat canned tomatoes. The tomatoes are so highly acidic that the resin they use to line the cans (a synthetic estrogen) more easily leaches into your food and gets absorbed by your body. http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/health/the-7-foods-experts-wont-eat-547963/

Maybe i will try this should be some interesting and fun tips lol

Nikki,

Brocolli Slaw doesn't haver to be made into a coleslaw. I just use it as a salad filler. 1/2 lettuce 1/2 brocalli slaw. Works great, and tastes good.

Pumpkin can be made into soup by added chicken stock/broth and some cinnamon or nutmeg

They should've posted about shirataki noodles not tofu shirataki. Shirataki noodles are zero calories compared to the 20 calories of tofu shirataki

yummy broccoli slaw with toasted ramen noodles and chicken (and dressing made from ramen packet)...been eating this nearly every other day and LOVE it! Think of it like a chopped salad rather than a slaw.

I think the canned pumpkin is great but hard to get when it is not Thanksgiving time.

Don't eat canned tomatoes!!! The BPA levels are crazy high because the of acidity of the tomatoes. If you can, try to find them in cans with no BPA (I know Eden Foods brand is BPA free, but I don't know if they have canned tomatoes). Otherwise, Whole Foods has boxed tomatoes and you can try to find them in jars.

Wow...love the tips! How can I get one of the large chain supermarkets to carry my favorite Greek yogurt featured in this article? They have their own brands and only offer f-- e in the smallest containers.

Yes but for the fat free greek yogurt, your forget the sugar!!!!!!!!!!! that's the worse, worse than anything else!!

DO NOT EAT CANNED TOMATOES! The acid in them eats away at the lining and is very bad for you. Just get fresh ones!

these are things I eat all the time at least until next summer when I can my own tomatoes- They're finding the BPA that made us throw out our water bottles is in the lining of veg cans like tomatoes too. drat!

I love greek yogurt! It's my newest favorite thing! I add a little bit of honey instead of sweetener or sugar. It tastes way better!

NO Pumpkin I was told the crops got ruined last yr so we will have to wait for the new crops before we get canned pumpkin
