This page contains a hearty display of healthy vegetables that are naturally low in calories. Just take a peek at the calories in celery - virtually zero calories!

In fact, all of the vegetables listed below are ultra low in calories except corn. But don't count corn out while dieting as it's very filling and contains the fiber your body needs. Due to the fiber content it also leaves you feeling fuller for longer periods of time.

If you're not a meat lover - eggplant just might fit the bill. Mushrooms are another great choice. If you're a meat lover, portobella mushrooms can be substituted as 'buns' for those who enjoy hamburgers thus saving 100 - 300 calories, depending upon the size and variety of hamburger bun that would have been used.
