There's four main types of fondue - cheese, chocolate, oil and broth. You cannot use low fat cheese in fondue, it doesn't melt properly, and low fat chocolate fondue... why bother?
The traditional method for a beef/poultry/fish fondue is to boil them in oil on their little sticks - not low cal or low fat, of course. But there is a Japanese dish called Sukiyaki that has the same method, only using broth instead of oil. Heat the broth (any kind) in the fondue pot and provide lots of flavorful tidbits to cook - shrimp, chicken pieces, beef, veggies, firm-fleshed fish like haddock or salmon all cut into bite sized pieces. Everyone dips their spear in the pot and lets it simmer until their bite is done. At the end, you share out the broth in the pot and drink it like soup. THis is the only way I can think of to make low fat "Fondue."

I make basically the lowest calorie chili possibly and nobody knows. Don't let anyone dissuade you from this. First make your seasoning. 1 part each seasoning salt (I prefer adobo), chili powder, cumin, and black pepper. I make chili alot so I usually use about 2 tbsp. each and it make a good pot of chili. Spray a touch of pam in a no stick pam and add 1 large diced onion, 1 cubano pepper (but any pepper would do), 2 cloves of garlic, and some seasoning. When the pot starts to get dry add a few tbsp of chicken stock. Let the veggies get soft. Once they are soft you dump them in a pot or a crock pot. Then add ground turkey breast 99% fat free to the pan with some seasoning. It will stick to the bottom at first that's okay. Keep on breaking the meat up. About 1/2 way through add 2 large cans of diced tomatoes. Scrape all the little bits off the bottom of the pan. Add a more seasoning. Once the meat is cooked put this in the pot or crock pot. Then chop up some chipotles in adobo and add this to the pot. They are pretty spicy. I like spicy so I use three but you might want to use less to start off with. And 1 can each of light and dark cans of kidney beans. Then I add 1 sprig of fresh thyme and a bay leaf. I either cook in a slow cooker on low for 6 hours or in a pot for about 1 hour on low. Slow cookers are easier because you don't have to stir it after the first time. Remove the thyme stem and bay leaf before you serve. I don't know the exact calorie count on this, but I know it has very little fat, full of protein and you can make it organic if you choose. We always have leftovers with this recipe, I don't like eating the same food too closely together, so I freeze the rest. Then on a movie night or when we are camping I make nachos or quesadillas with it. Layer baked tortilla chips with the chili and low fat cheddar cheese. Then dip in a mixture of equal parts of no fat sour cream and salsa. Do the same with a quesadilla. A delish, guilt free snack. And nobody you serve it to will know that it's diet food.
