By the time you eat them you've spent way more calories than they'll add on to you.
It's not impossible to eat whatever you want to.

I do cook ALL my own foods 100% from scratch and let me tell ya I am in the kitchen 3+ hours sometimes so yeah. Cooking is exercise.
Good idea tho. Slice up a potato or sweet potato or carrot with a good slicer and add a little seasoning, Mrs Dash for example has no salt. Bake them and yeah, no oil or very little and you control salt* if you make them thick cut and brush on just a tinch of olive oil maybe.
But congrats. That is going the extra mile and that is what you have to do to lose/keep pounds off.
* excess salt I get in corn chips or taco shells or salted in the shell peanuts (plus I add salt to stuff) probably is putting water weight on.
If I could watch proper sodium intake for maybe two weeks and (maybe) take a dielectric^ like Pamprin (can guys take that?
Ive heard it recommended to flush water) I could prob lose 10 LBs in two weeks on that only.
My brother spelled it all out for me. He gets all his knowledge from Doctor Oz. He claims: ground turkey, oatmeal, dried fruits, tuna, canned beans (all the usual good stuff) NO CORN SYRUP or SUGAR and LOW SODIUM being KEY and counting cals AND sodium ESPEC is the way.
He actually washes his canned beans and canned veg under water to remove sodium.
Makes sense, he is lean and mean.
^ Wait "a dielectric is an electrical insulator". You know what I mean
