A foolproof way to lose or manage weight is with calorie control. Yet, controlling calories doesn’t instantly limit you to unsatisfyingly tiny meal portions. Rather, there are a number of nutrient-rich foods with shockingly low calories to curb your appetite at any hour.

Why have a tiny “treat” for 100 calories when you can have a filling, delicious spread for the same or lower caloric intake? Check out these low-cal superfoods for happier, healthier weight management.

Steamed, grilled, or eaten raw, asparagus packs a nutritious punch with a low-calorie impact. It has only 100 calories per pound, so you can consume these vitamin K-pumped veggies day and night without expanding your waistline.

Celery

It has only five calories per stem, so celery really is the ultimate diet food. Munch on raw celery between meals to stay full while also enjoying several nutritional benefits including loads of vitamin C and fiber.

Cottage Cheese

Cheese on a low-calorie food list? That’s right! It has about 100 calories per serving, and cottage cheese boasts nearly one-fifth as many calories as most cheeses while being packed with protein, making it the ideal daily diet supplement.

One tip: look for a low-sodium version to limit your salt intake.

Grapes

Grapes have only 2 calories per grape, so you can enjoy these glossy beauties all day while keeping your weight-loss efforts intact. Eat grapes straight from the stem or freeze a handful of grapes for a sweet-tooth soothing summer treat.

Green Bell Pepper

Mushrooms

This fungus has just 2 calories each, and small mushrooms offer filling volume without damaging your diet. There are a wide array of mushroom varieties on the market, so these calorie savers shake up any meal with a punch of powerful antioxidants.
