Answer 4

I like those 100 calorie packs.

They are quite filling and low in calorie.

Also they have fudge sicles that are only 40 calories a pop.

I reccomend those :)

Answer 5

20 stalks of celery. However, this might cause some trouble in your gut. :) Don't worry about calories so much! Eat something healthy like a hand full of almonds or a piece of fruit.  

Answer 6

1000 rice patties would be quite filling.

Answer 7

2 Cans Green Beans, a head of lettuce, Head of cabbage, Head of broccoli. 100 gals of water. Most water does have something in it no matter what the label says.

Did you notice that 100 calories of broccoli is about ten ounces of food, and 100 calories of ground sirloin is less than one ounce of food? With green vegetables you can get filled up, even stuffed, yet you will not be consuming excess calories. Animal products, on the other hand, are calorie-dense and relatively low in nutrients, especially the crucial anti-cancer nutrients.

What would happen if you attempted to eat like a mountain gorilla, which eats about 80 percent of its diet from green leaves and about 15 percent from fruit? Assuming you are a female, who needs about 1,500 calories a day, if you attempted to get 1,200 of those calories from greens, you would need to eat over fifteen pounds of greens. That is quite a big salad! Since your stomach can only hold about one liter of food (or a little over a quart), you would have a problem fitting it all in.

You would surely get lots of protein from this gorilla diet. In fact, with just five pounds of greens you would exceed the RDA for protein and would get loads of other important nutrients. The problem with this gorilla diet is that you would develop a calorie deficiency. You would become too thin. Believe it or not, I do not expect you to eat exactly like a gorilla. However, the message to take home is that the more of these healthy green vegetables (both raw and cooked) you eat, the healthier you will be and the thinner you will become.

Now let’s contrast this silly and extreme gorilla example to another silly and extreme way of eating, the American diet.

If you attempt to follow the perverted diet that most Americans eat, or even if you follow the precise recommendations of the USDA’s pyramid—six to eleven servings of bread, rice, and pasta (consumed as 98 percent refined grains by Americans) with four to six servings of dairy, meat, poultry, or fish—you would be eating a diet rich in calories but extremely low in nutrients, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and vitamins. You would be overfed and malnourished, the precise nutritional profile that causes heart disease and cancer.

Answer 8

You can't beat lettuce for low calorie bulk.

You can eat ten (yes 10!!) CUPS full of shredded lettuce for 100 calories.

Answer 9

I bet you could eat all the air you wanted and never reach 100 calories.

Answer 10

watermelon, celery, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes.

I don't know how many but you won't be able to eat 100 cals of cucumbers so it doesn't matter, does it?
