Every place I turn I hear about or see a list of foods when on a diet and they are all the same. Slim Bears, Crystal Light, and Pudding Pops. This time you are in for a treat, literally. I have put together and linked to 50 of the best diet foods you never knew about. I promise you there is at least one gem on this list you didn’t know about until now. Sit back, bring your taste buds, and dive in.
#50-Sami’s Bakery Low Carb Protein Cheesecake
Sami’s, in general, has amazing eats. Low carb wraps, chips, breads, high protein, whole grain, and gluten free are just a few of the delicious and wonderful treats they offer. You name it, they have it. The only reason they aren’t higher on the list is because they are hard to find locally and are a bit costly. That being said, if you have the money or if you can find it locally, then get on it.

#49-Rudy’s Right Choice-Low Carb Bread
Low carb bread has a habit of tasting like cardboard on a good day. On top of that, it is usually pretty high in calories because they up the fat content. Fat isn’t bad of course, but in this case if looking for lower calories it is a concern. Rudy’s right choice hits the best of both worlds with each slice landing at 45 calories and only 7 carb grams per piece. The ingredients are quality as well. The only con is it can be a little harder to find and not available, that I can see, internationally.
#48-Kay’s Natural Cripsy Protein Chips
These chips come in a high variety from nacho cheese to lemon herb. With 10 grams of protein per serving and only 110 calories for 30 grams, you are going to have a hard time finding pre-packaged chips with these stats. I highly recommend giving the nacho cheese a try and perhaps you can pair them with a sandwich made from the bread above.
When you are smack dab in the middle of a hardcore diet every calorie counts. That being said, a nice way to tasty up your shakes with ease is to use milk instead of water. Calories Countdown Milk is perfect for this with only having 45 calories for every 8 ounces. They are also one of the only brands that have a Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk and this make me happy.
#46-Glenny’s 100 Calorie Brownies
It’s a brownie. It is 100 calories. Need I say more? They are available in Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, and Blondies. The only reason this isn’t in the top 10 is because they are hard to find.
#45-Zero Impact Pumpkin Protein Bars
These protein bars are the richest and softest protein bars I have ever had. They are also huge and while they are not that low in calories at around 400 calories per bar, they are highly balanced with macros, and are essentially a whole meal in a bar. A soft, chewy, mouth sticking, yummy meal in a bar at that.
These rinds are 45 calories per serving, one carb, and perfect for the low carbing lifestyle especially when looking for a crunch. One of the hardest aspects of low carb eating is sometimes missing out on certain textures and feels and this more than makes up for it.
#43-Bob’s Red Mill Xanthum Gum
It is a fantastic, very low calorie, thickener that you can use to add a little consistency to anything. This one might be a little hard to find at local stores so you can either buy it online or you could also you glucomannan, guar gum, agar, or pectin. It is a fantastic thickener that you can use to add a little consistency to anything.
This is the first peanut butter appearance and it wont be the last. It isn’t a secret that I have a problem with peanut butter and I have bought every kind of peanut butter that there is. This PB has 100 calories per serving and very little will go a long way. It doesn’t taste a lot like normal peanut butter and is really sweet, but it is a great flavor in general.
#41-Nutritious Living Hi-Lo™ with Strawberry Pieces
Cereals are very good at being low in protein, high in crap, and bland on taste. With 12 grams of protein per serving the Hi-Lo cereal is making the others look even worse.
Liquid smoke is more of a seasoning than a food but I have to put it in because it is a great way to add a new flavor to your eating. Anyone who has tried to “spice up” their chicken knows that sometimes you need all the help you can get. If you want the flavor without the smoke then you have just found it in a bottle.
