    One more for the list: Egg Whites.

    Dr. recommended I switch because the cholesterol in full yolk eggs. Yeah... No. I'll take the potential artery-blockage with my omelette because egg whites suck.

    Agreed..egg whites are weird but when I scramble I'll do two whites to one whole egg just for more bulk and less cals

    Agreed, I'll take the extra calories to have a whole egg!

    I cannot stand beans and lentils. I wish I liked them but I don't.

    Does black bean pasta taste distinctly of black beans?

    Kale. Kale is the most vile and disgusting tasting thing I ever intentionally and voluntarily put in my mouth.

    Beets. I've tried them every way possible but unless I buy prepared beet chips ( which I think are quite delicious) I can't figure out what people are talking about when they say beets are sweet. Because to me they taste like mud. Not even good mud, but like sewer sludge mud.

    On the flip side, because of the healthy reputation, I have added baby spinach and fennel to my regular diet. Yumm.

    Hahaha...I like beets, but that's just too funny.

    I don't mind egg whites too much in sandwiches but won't eat them on their own as an omelet or scramble.

    It's funny to see people giving up on fruit, which is our truest "paleo" food. Great apes like us have been subsisting on fruit for millions of years.

    You have the season egg whites with something or else they taste like nothing. Try mixing in salsa, or a seasoning blend like adobe or cajun blend.

    But, I'm also on "team whole egg." I'll eat egg whites, but if I'm cooking myself, it's the whole egg. I like the convenience of having the fat already in the protein.

    Light mayo and Greek yogurt, skim milk, chicken. Blecch.

    I don't like full fat mayo or milk. "lighter than light" mayo sucks but I have bought skimmed milk and light mayo for years! Normal mayo only works for me if it is garlic.

    I am surprised at how often certain foods are listed!
    Although I do only like cooked kale.
    And yes, quinoa can taste awful if it is not properly washed first.
    And I love vegan-no whey protein powder.
    The food I had to give up on trying was grapefruit.

    I want to like mushrooms, I keep trying them, but they are so disgusting to me in taste and texture that I won't try again.

    I can't believe I forgot egg whites. The idea of an egg white omelet makes me want to gag now.

    Nuts. I really love them but I have almost zero self control unless it's pre packaged. So I don't buy them. That said, I never like almonds or walnuts.

    Oh yeah I forgot these. I stopped eating them when I was a child and my mom tried to make me! I understand they might be healthy for me but I find it disgusting like you do.

    I love them cooked, but dislike them raw. I just eat them cooked now.

    I'd say chicken meat and eggs. I thought they were good for you but nope.

    I don't eat green salads, muesli, dark bread (it all gives me stomach bloating), protein bars (waste of money), don't buy protein drinks at the gym
