nonfattening

Won't add pounds

Nonfattening describes food or drink that won't cause weight gain, typically because it's low in calories or fat: nonfattening snacks, a nonfattening alternative to ice cream.

The term appears mainly in marketing and diet talk, often making modest claims for foods that aren't exactly health food.
