Check out this list of 19 foods that will never make you fat.
It is easy to gain fat when you eat food when it is greasy, high in sugar or loaded with empty calories. On the other spectrum, some foods that are very filling, high in protein and low in calories will help you feel fuller, burn fat and open up plenty of space in your diet for cheat meals.
See below the 19 foods that Posternak says will never make you fat. Just know that if you eat too much of anything, you can of course gain fat, but in moderate amounts, these foods will be a great ally in losing weight and burning body fat.
1. Eggs
Eggs are high in protein that are very filling and digesting from them will ramp up your metabolism thanks to the thermic effect of foods.
Eggs themselves are one of the best sources to build muscle, lose weight and keep lean.
2 Wild Caught Salmon
Farm-raised salmon contains significantly more fat than wild caught and this fat is made of a higher ration of omega 6 which people already get too much in their diet.
Wild-caught salmon also has much less calories, which contributes to maintaining a lean figure.
3. Celery
One of the lowest calorie foods a person can ingest as it is made of 95% water. And it is almost impossible to eat so much celery that you will gain weight from it.
4. Salsa
Salsa is one of the lowest-calorie dips available. If you dip a filling vegetable that is low in calories with dips (like the celery), you just made yourself a delicious snack that will never get you fat.
5. Hot Sauce
It basically has 0 calories and it goes perfectly which high protein sources like chicken, tuna and eggs as well as celery.
6. Spinach
One cup of spinach contains 7 calories filled with fibre that will make you feel full. It also contains calcium, magnesium, potassium and vitamin A.
7. Soup
Soup is very filling because is made of at least 90% water (depending on what type of soup you are making, of course).
If the majority of your soup is made of healthy vegetables and a lean protein source, you can eat as much soup as you want and most likely you won’t get fat while doing so.
8. Bell Pepper / Paprika
Looking for a delicious stir fry without adding many calories? Bell pepper or paprika is the way to go!
9. Popcorn
You can gain weight from eating too much popcorn especially if the popcorn has a lot of added butter. So get popcorn with no butter or oil added. Popcorn, per calorie, contains a lot of fibre.
10. Zucchini
If you got a spiraliser at home, you can make zoodles, or zucchini noodles to transform your calorie-dense pasta into something that won’t add many calories.
11. Cauliflower
You likely won’t be able to eat so much cauliflower that you will get fat. Cauliflower contains a lot of fibre per calorie. You can turn cauliflower into rice or mash it to replace regular rice or mashed potatoes.
12. Kale
Packed full of nutrients, fibre, and can be used to make filling smoothies. You can use it to replace lettuce on your salad too.
13. Watermelon
This fruit is made up of 90% of water, so it is nearly impossible to gain fat from it. Foods high in water are great at filling you up and don’t have much calories.
14. Cucumber
Another vegetable that is full of water – it provides fibre, vitamin A and beta carotene.
15. Pickles
Basically cucumbers that have been fermented in brine. As long as you choose pickles with no sugar added, you are safe to eat them without gaining belly fat.
16. Chicken Breast

One of the leanest protein sources you can get. Although it has more calories than other vegetables mentioned above, almost all the calories from the chicken breast come from protein and are burnt during the digestion process.

Garlic, dill, thyme. These all help improve the taste of your meals without adding almost any calories.
18. Asparagus
