Calorie-Free Foods

Tried out some calorie-free Ranch dressing today and I actually liked it...

I bought some of their calorie-free chocolate syrup. It's pretty good. And no fat or sugar either.

Wow that seems too good to be true :) ...I've had the Fat-free Ranch dressing a lot, but not the calorie-free kind yet. Thanks for telling about that!

really? no calories? at all? unbelievable. do you have to order it or is it in stores? if so, what stores?

I wish it had the nutrition info listed.  I believe that legally if there is less than a certain amount of cals/fat they are allowed to list it as none.  Therefore it would depend on the serving size.  For example, some sugar free mints are listed as having zero calories.  I imagine there would be some cals if you ate the whole box but since a serving is one tiny little mint it seems to not count.  If the serving size here is 1/2 tsp or something I would love to know.  Anyway, this still sounds like a great dressing for calorie counters.  I just thought I would try to explain some of the too-good-to-be-true part.  (That's guess, of course, since they didn't list the nutrtion info.)

Thanks!

i think the cutoff is 5 cals, lemme see if I can look it up.

can't find it :(

nevermind, found it.  bookmark the heck out of this page, everybody!

Wow, thanks Saro!  So when you see fat free (or low fat), it is important to first check the serving size!

yep! i thought this was soooooo cool I gave it its very own post!

I like their calorie free ranch dip and bleu cheese dip better than their salad dressings.  I thin them with lemon juice and use them instead of dressing.

The Rance dressing I used was the same as other dressings...2 TBLS per serving.

Clairelaine...mmm...I'll hafta try that next :-)

The apple butter is pretty good too, and we tried the chocolate dip too, but that tasted a little alcohol-y to me.  I'm gonna try the strawberry jelly next!

Wow... cool.  It only has sodium.  :D  Gotta find that dressing...  Thanks!

is it in stores?

Kellbell...yes...I stumbled upon the Ranch dressing while shopping at our local Ukrops.

mmm... I love apple butter! I hope the stores in my area carry this!

I've had zero calorie syrup for pancakes and such

very good
