Altering your diet to lose weight can be tricky and looking for foods that are not only low calorie but also full of nutritional value and tasty can be hard and can sometimes put people of their diet quite easily.

Some foods like the ones below on their own are low in calories:

Cottage cheese – 100g = 98 calories
Plain boiled pasta – 100g = 110 calories
Prawns – 100g = 100 calories
Baked beans – 100g = 80 calories
Custard – 100g = 100 calories
New potatoes – 100g = 115 calories
Chickpeas – 100g = 115 calories
Tinned tuna in water – 100g = 100 calories
Tofu – 100g = 73 calories

The main thing to remember when looking at calories is that although foods like the ones above are low in calories what you have with it can have a lot of calories such as dressings or sauces, full fat options often contain the most like mayonnaise and cheesy sauces so make sure what you have with your low calorie food is also low calorie.
