The idea behind negative-calorie foods is that these take more calories to eat and digest than they provide. Hence, they have \u201czero calories.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC524030\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the body uses fewer calories to digest food<\/a> than the calories food provides. Negative-calorie foods are a myth, and so are zero-calorie snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if there are no zero-calorie foods, what are your options? Zero-calorie foods and snacks may be only marketing hype, but low-calorie snacks do exist. And they are some of the healthiest foods you can eat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover 30 alternatives to high-calorie foods in the form of low-calorie dense foods and healthy snacks.

However, science doesn\u2019t really back this concept up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s because no food has truly zero calories, only water does. But even though drinking cold water may increase metabolism, <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jcem\/article\/91\/9\/3598\/2656772\">the effect is not strong enough to support weight loss<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you consider water a zero-calorie food, it alone doesn\u2019t provide the nutrients your body needs to run. That\u2019s where low-calorie foods come in. Low-calorie dense foods range from low-calorie vegetables and fruits to unsweetened applesauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you eat these foods, you take in a small amount of calories. You also get vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other key nutrients your body needs to stay healthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a single Oreo cookie (11.3 grams) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/article\/303766-how-many-calories-are-in-one-oreo-cookie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">has 53 calories<\/a>, including 8.3 grams of carbs and 2.3 grams of fat. At the same time, it has no vitamins or antioxidants. Eat 3 Oreos, and you\u2019re already taking in over 150 calories.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By contrast, the snacks on our list provide notably fewer calories per serving. Low-calorie snacks can help you lose weight while allowing you to follow a balanced <a href=\"https:\/\/joggo.run\/blog\/diet-for-runners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">diet for runners<\/a>, so you don&#8217;t actually need zero-calorie snacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a runner, getting enough protein, carbs, healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants through a healthy diet is crucial. It will help you stay healthy and perform at your best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"30-zero-calorie-snacks-for-runners\"><\/span>30 Zero-Calorie Snacks for Runners<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>None of the snacks on this list are calorie-free, but they are all low in calories. You don&#8217;t actually need to eat zero-calorie foods to lose weight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve grouped them into 5 categories to make it easier for you to incorporate them into your weight loss diet: berries, fruits, leafy greens, vegetables, and other snacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these snacks have less than 57 calories per 100 grams. The only exceptions are rice cakes, air-popped popcorn, and seaweed snacks, which we recommend in smaller portions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Keep in mind that these are mostly foods you can eat in between runs.
