I don't know about everyone else, but i find it extremely helpful to set aside a few foods that i can eat 'guilt free', and not obsessively weigh and count the calories of.
My 'Free' foods are:
- Cabbage soup
- Vegetable soup
- Cucumbers
- Lettice
- Celery
I find that, if i have the urge to binge, or if i'm extremely hungry, i will fill up on as much 'free' food as i want, and i won't eat something that's bad for me :)
Also, it breaks the mentality that "if i go over my calories for the day, i may as well start fresh tomorrow, and binge tonight", because, if i've eaten all my calories, i can STILL eat my free food without feeling guilty.
Im not sure if this will help anyone else, but for me, as a recovering binge eater/bulimic, it helps to have free/safe food that i can fill up on (in addition to my regular banlanced meals), that are guilt free.
:)
Reason: Moved from WL to Foods forum, thanks
Carrots for me! Thanks, the list is useful!
I think that's a good idea and will borrow it, although I will still track the calories on these things, because I know how I work, and if I give myself leave not to track calories on certain things, then I'll do it for other things, and then eventually I won't track calories at all.
But yes, you're right, this will help if I go over one day - I won't just think I can eat anything and everything.
Starbrow: If you are going to try this, perhaps it would be easier for you to track if you put All your morning meals ( morning snack included ) under breakfast. Afternoon eats under lunch and evening eats under dinner. Saving the catagory "Snacks" for your freebies.
I guess I could of worded that better. 
Its getting late here in my corner of the world so my brain, words, & fingers aren't co-operating together. 
Free foods can be really unsatisfying - I am a veteran dieter so I think the important thing is to eat a little fat with each snack/meal or else you could easily eat free foods all night and not feel full or satisfied!
Sugar Free Jell-O
Individual packages of frozen veggies such as: steamfresh brussel sprouts, asparagus or broccoli, I can't believe it's not butter Spray and Seasoned Salt. My perfect pre-meal starter, to keep me in control.
Steam Cauliflower and top with spray butter and little parmesan.
After dinner - Weight Watchers Lemon Cream Pie yogurt mixed with 2 tbsp fat-free redi-whip for a low cal/fat - really rich tasting dessert.
Egg white omelette with sauteed mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers and asparagus. Topped with Pace picante salsa for an almost free delicious meal!
94% fat free microwave popcorn with all different kinds of Kearnal Seasonings sprinkles (caramel, jalapeno, etc - sweet & salty flavors)
Ice cubes 
baby carrots and strawberries are my free foods in terms of snacking. At dinner, if I still feel hungry after eating my properly portioned entree and starchy side, I will pile on the green veggies like there is no tomorrow. Fills me up with little calorie consequence.
- Nori Sheets & Other Seaweed
- Daikon Radish

- Black Coffee & My Coffee Flavored Ice Cubes

- Lettuce

- Mushrooms

Ice cubes
yeah, that may be zero calories, but is it really worth it to mess up your teeth?
