you don't want high volume low calorie.
you want high satiety.

There are hormones in your body that tell you to eat food, and hormones that tell you to stop eating food. Rather than counting the caloric content of food that may very well not tell you to stop eating food, wouldn't it be better to just focus on eating food that tells you to stop eating? That way you'll wind up eating less calories anyway, and you'll be doing it in a way that doesn't require incredible willpower and make you more likely to fail.

Eating mainly meat and vegetables will naturally make you want to eat less because it'll fill you up, no counting or willpower required.
