#5 Zucchini
Not only is zucchini mostly made up of water, but it can be used to replace one of the highest-calorie carbs: pasta.
All you need is a spiralizer, and you can very easily crank out some zucchini noodles that can be used in many delicious low-calorie meals.
One simple option for example is to cook them, add salsa, and a little bit of parmesan cheese. Plus, there are plenty of other low-calorie options, like pesto zucchini pasta, that will blow your mind.
Zucchini contains only 17 calories per 100 grams. Meanwhile the same amount of pasta contains 131 calories, and it’s much less filling.
