Do you want to lose weight while still eating delicious food? Mateo Ruperti is a fat loss coach who helps busy people lose 20 pounds in 90 days with his LWM Blueprint. In a new post, he shares some foods that have (almost) no calories. "10 foods that have almost zero calories," he writes. "When you're in a calorie deficit for weight loss, knowing WHAT foods ADD volume with little to no calories can be very helpful to meet your goals while staying full!"

The first food is a cucumber. "Vegetables with a high water content give a lot of food volume! Cucumber is only 16 calories per cup!" he says.

Next up, leafy greens. "Lettuce, spinach, & kale have only 25-55 calories per cup & are super filling!" he says. However, be careful when ordering salads, as many calories can hide in the dressing.

Cauliflower is another low-calorie veggie. "If you love rice, swapping it sometimes for cauliflower rice can make a huge difference with only 40 calories per cup!" he writes.

And, don't sleep on zucchini. "A great pasta swap is when in a calorie deficit is zucchini noodles with only 20 calories per cup! Also, Shirataki noodles are an almost zero calorie pasta swap too with 23 calories per cup!" he writes.

Bell peppers are a great snack or addition to stir-fry. "Peppers have only 30 calories per cup! I munch on the baby ones with my lunch often!" he says.

If you have a sweet tooth, keep a bag of clementines on hand. "One piece of fruit packs tons of vitamin c & only 35 calories!" he writes.

Another great sweet and hydrating fruit? Watermelon "is a very hydrating fruit with only 46 calories per cup!" he says.

Antioxidant-rich berries are another great sweet treat. "Low in calories but high in fiber, which makes them super filling! Strawberries only have 53 calories per cup!" he says.

Carrots should also be part of your weight loss diet. "Snacking on carrot sticks is so convenient & only 52 calories per cup!" he says.

Broccoli makes an excellent accompaniment to your meal. "1 cup of cooked broccoli has 54 calories & will fill you up fast as a dinner side!" he says.
