Canned pumpkin is magical. Over the past few years, its popularity has grown so much that markets often find themselves running out of the stuff. Keep cans of it in the pantry at all times—running out of it is no fun! Pumpkin is super-low in calories (40 per ½ cup), has practically no fat, and is loaded with fiber (3.5 grams per serving).
