Which foods have the least CALORIES?

Calories are an important part of our diets. We need calories to get through day to day life as calories provide us with energy. Two units of energy make one calorie. Each person needs a different amount of calories each day depending on their lifestyle. Athletes need a considerably larger amount of calories as they need more energy to perform their sport.

Are you looking to create a low calorie diet or do you just want to find out which foods have the least amount of calories? You can use this ranking and make note of the foods with the least amount of calories and incorporate them into your diet.
