“Zero calorie snacks” — it sounds almost too good to be true, doesn’t it?
And in the age-old pursuit of landing on both sides of the you-are-what-you-eat equation, in a culture that’s positively bewitching on dieting, weight loss, and about 5 million iterations of “clean” eating, the idea of eating something delicious without taking in any calories is especially irresistible. But how much is there to the idea of zero‐calorie snacks? And if their current iteration doesn’t really exist, what are the guiltless alternatives to turn to in that case?
Let’s get to the bottom of the zero-calorie food myth — and why Bonvie’s freeze-dried snacks are a healthy option for healthy snackers everywhere.
First Things First: Is There Such Thing as Truly Zero Calories?
Adhering to calorie restrictions that low is ludicrous Try to find foods with substances reported as nil calories in a form of adequate concentration to end up with a grant total of nothing in no way technically true is realistically the best way to put it!
Here’s why:
-
All edible items are made up of a combination of macronutrients (carbs, proteins, or fats).
-
Even foods marketed as “zero calories” (some beverages, for example) can contain trace amounts.
-
In many countries, if a serving contains few enough calories or carbs—usually considered fewer than 5—brands can present it as “zero calories” or “zero carbs” on packaging.
Reality Check:
Most snacks contain calories — but the aim should be to opt for low-calorie, nutrient-dense foods, not fall for the empty “zero-calorie” gimmick.
Foods on shelves, often labeled “Zero Calorie”
There are some foods that are so low in calories — so low that they barely move the needle on your daily intake. These include:
- Cucumbers (16 calories per cup) A very refreshing, low-cal snack option.
- Celery (14 calories per cup)
- Zucchini (19 calories per cup)
- Lettuce (5 calories per cup)
- Spinach (7 calories per cup)
- Broccoli ( 31 calories per cup)
Notice a trend?
They’re all water-rich vegetables — which is refreshing, but not everybody is reaching for a snack-time watermelon.
Before you know it, beach season will be here, but you don't always want a sugary, processed candy to curb your sweet tooth when a craving strikes. That’s where smarter choices like freeze-dried snacks come into play.

Low-Calorie Snacking vs. Zero-Calorie Myths
MYTH 1: The more you abstain from calories the quicker you’ll lose weight.
✅ Truth: You lose weight sustainably by eating smart, not eating crap or “starvation foods.”
MYTH 2: Low-calorie = tasteless and drab
✅ Truth: Freeze-dried snacks bubble over with flavor — that’s concentrated sweetness or savoriness without any additions.
MYTH 3: Zero-calorie foods are healthier This is tricky because it’s not entirely false, but it’s not entirely true, either.
✅ Truth: Health is not determined by calories alone; it’s about the quality of the nutrients we eat. Freeze-dried snacks retain the natural goodness of the fruit thereby ensuring that everything your body needs for a snack is included.
How to Snack Smart (and Not Stress About Calories)
Rather than pursuing “negative calorie” myths, observe reasonable snacking guidelines:
- Opt for high-fiber snacks: Fiber helps you feel full without racking up calories. (Freeze-dried fruits = plenty of fiber!)
- Choose nutrient-dense foods: More vitamins and minerals per calorie = better overall health.
- Portion mindfully: Bonvie freeze-dried snacks are conveniently portioned by-pack, so you can avoid eating mindlessly.
- Eat protein with your snacks: Make the fruit you eat with some nut butter or Greek yogurt.
