Healthy Calories

Eating healthy low calorie foods is important for our health

Whether we are trying to lose weight, are on a special diet, or are learning about the powerful anti-aging-diet, daily vegetables are one of the healthiest, low calorie choices we can make (along with daily green tea).

The USDA recommends four servings of different fruits and five servings of different vegetables daily. Each serving is one half cup.

They also recommend eating brightly colored vegetables for optimal nutrition. Think of eating a rainbow of fruits and vegetables every day.

Here’s a list of vegetables with serving size and calorie count. If you’re serious about counting calories, make sure you measure your portion size.

To help you separate the low calorie vegetables choices from the high calorie vegetables, the charts are ranked low to high.

Please note that there is a different calorie count for the same vegetable when measured raw compared to the measurement after cooking. Vegetable condiments are included.
