The recent barrage of skinny/fat/your fault/my fault threads, have inspired me to share my list of foods that have no or reduced calories. You can add your own

Batter
Cake that is in the freezer for over 2 months
Children's leftovers
Sampling
A piece of chocolate once an hour

Broken cookies (the calories escape)
Chocolate spread on whole grain bread
Full-fat cream cheese on a whole wheat bagel
Anything within a meal that also contains vegetables
Anything liquid, because water helps you lose weight

And now for my 'real reply':

My brother once went on a diet that "didn't allow" wheat, sugar and fat. 'But,' he said 'if you combine any of them, then it's ok'...

Yeah, I do tend to gravitate towards thin people in the vain hope that I'll catch their quick metabolism.. It never materializes and I have begun to think it's cuz they were immunized? Uch, natural parenting for once!

Otherwise, you can gain 50 pounds by smelling chocolate donuts.

Anything eaten when I'm "out"... includes cookies from the shuk (while I'm shopping) or coffee&pastry from a bakery if I'm waiting for a bus/ waiting at kupat cholim office/ waiting at the hospital for doctor's appointment.

the most important one:
your childrens leftovers.

If you straighten out a cake there are no calories in those end bits.
If you break a piece of a biscuit there are no cals in the rest of the biscuit because the calories fall out.
Anything you eat with your fingers coz its not considered proper eating.
Even less calories is when you eat out of a pot or stand in front of the fridge eating out of containers. You aren't REALLy eating so no cals.

Anything you eat standing up.
True fact (I read this decades ago): standing up burns ten calories an hour.

food that you eat in bed whilst reading has no cals.

food that you find by accident like a choc bar behind the couch. no cals coz you weren't planning to eat that choc bar, you just found it.

food that you don't even like. that heavy choc mousse that you only ate coz your mil will be insulted otherwise? no cals in that. BH.

absolutely all shabbos and yom tov have no cals. includes, homontaschen, cheese cake, latkes and donuts. the best part is: even if you eat these items during the weekday THEY STILL HAVE NO CALORIES.... ahhhhhh bliss.

Leftover meals never have calories, because the calories were cooked up and used up in yesterdays meal.

MOST cooked food doesn't have calories, the cooking process removes the calories.

food that you weren't allowed to eat halachically: that piece of cake you sneaked before you made kiddush? no cals because it's forbidden anyway.

food that you eat on a taanis, even though you don't have to fast. but because of the minus calories eaten by the rest of the jews your calories just get cancelled out

food that you break your fast with, including if you didn't even fast.

food that you are only eating for the mitzva, like you only ate that ice cream coz you wanted to say shehakol
