Each serving (2 tbsp.) of Nutella contains 200 calories with 100 of those calories being calories from fat. Although Nutella spread does not contain any trans fat it does contain 3.5 grams of saturated fat per serving. If you were eating a diet based on 2,000 calories daily that would be approximately 18% of your fat intake for the entire day. There are 11 grams of total fat per serving.
It should be noted that Nutella nutrition facts show that the spread itself contains a whopping 21 grams of sugar per serving. The first ingredient listed on the packaging is sugar. Remember that the ingredients on food labels are listed in order from most to least. This tells you that the main ingredient in this product is sugar.

While Nutella is delicious, I can't really go back to it ever since my sister made me homemade Nutella for Christmas one year. It tasted like high fiving a million angels, and was so much better than the brand. It was far less sweet (not that I have an issue with sugar), and so much more nutty and flavourful. I need to make some...

Nutella is good, but Lotus Cookie Spread in Crunchy or Creamy is where it's at!
The other day I took a wrap & put some of the creamy inside & nuked it for 10 seconds. So good! Today I took some Chex oatmeal & heated it up & then stirred in 50 grams of cookie butter.

Haha. I'll have to ask her for the recipe. I'm pretty sure it's just roasted hazelnuts, cocoa powder (or maybe melted chocolate???), a bit of sugar, really not that much, all food processed together, with maybe a splash of milk or cream to hold it together. It's much more of a paste than regular Nutella, which can be kind of gloopy. I'll find that recipe though.
I have an awesome food processor and I want to high five a million angels, too!
You better check yourself before you wreck yourself. Both are awesome but interchangeable, they are not.DrWhoIsYerDad wrote: »Just eat cake frosting, some have less calories than nutella

I have my own 'Nutella' like mixture I mix 50g of PhD Belgian Chocolate Diet Whey with 100 ml of milk. I still enjoy Nutella every now and again but I much prefer the mixture I make taste wise and the fact it helps me meet my protein goals!
If you enjoy it though, nothing wrong with making it fit. It's all about moderation!
All the best.

I love Nutella. I use it in my protein shakes every morning as a thickener/flavoring. I just count it in with my other calories and I'm still losing weight

Just stop using food for entertainment. Go to a movie or buy a book and read it or even play a stupid game. Food is not fun, it's fuel. If your food is fun and you don't have issues, great for you, but if you are fighting your weight you need a new definition of the word entertainment.-1

I hate Nutella--It tastes like dirty gym socks dipped in chocolate. Can't stand hazelnut flavoring. *Gagging* A sincere waste of chocolate. Feel the same way about Reese's Peanut Butter Cups--a waste of chocolate.0

I'm a non-fan of peanut butter and chocolate, but love nutella. That combo just works.0 -

^^^^This.^^^^ There is nothing wrong with taking pleasure in your food, but food obsession is another matter. We live in an age of entertainment. For the most part, our ancestors were too busy to be concerned with entertainment. Only the idle rich had the time to pursue entertainment. King Henry VIII is the example of someone who used food as entertainment. If you don't want to look like him, don't use food as entertainment.

Oh please share the recipe! Love Nutella but just don't buy it anymore as it's so hard to stop dipping in to it!

Although you must admit, King Henry was a stylish dresser!
I just realized this month (or maybe just finally admitted to myself) that every time I eat the SAD I get sad, too. Really, really sad. I bet if I saw a psychiatrist after a week of eating crap I'd be diagnosed with major depression, then a few weeks later, when my diet is cleaned up again, I'd probably be diagnosed as manic, or just pathologically, annoyingly happy. So that's even more incentive to find something else to do when I'm bored besides stick my face in a jar.

Nutella is rare for me, but if you trying to avoid it here, don't ever try it in Europe. It is much better. Theirs is less sweet, more Hazelnutty, and less salty. So I guess it actually it makes easier not to eat it here. I guess the marketing department did the "American Palete" thing.0

You spelled AWESOME wrong
Nutella = AWESOME
Costco sells it in 3KG containers.
It's bigger than my head, and I have a big head0 -
I can't buy it. Ever. Sometimes my BF wants it and I make him take it to work so it's not in the house. I realize that it's fine in moderation, but I can't moderate Nutella. Or I found this Reese's PB/Chocolate spread that "YUMMM". Can't have that around either.0

I must be the only person on the planet that does not like Nutella. Either way food is neither good or bad. You want Nutella, eat it, log it and move on.0

i hate this whole "food is neither good nor bad" schtick on here. a few years ago prior to my taking a vacation from mfp, the schtick was "eat more to weigh less!!! and starvation mode for under 1200 calories OMG!" that died and now it's sugar is fine and there is no good or bad foods and don't juice!!
some food is better than others. nutella tastes good and it's not going to kill you, but it's not a top notch food nutritionally.0 -
I disagree with no longer buying it. Really need to keep working/practicing moderation. There are certain things that I overeat all the time. But I refuse to stop buying them. I just keep working/practicing moderation with that item until I have my self-control in check.0

But what if I have better things to pit my willpower against than a food industry that goes so far as to sometimes hook people up to brain scans during the development of its products in an attempt to sell more?
Edit before someone thinks I put all the blame on the food industry: I can whip up some concoctions from scratch in my kitchen that I'll devour in massive quantities as well!
