    Not sure if some one else posted this, but Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Parmesan Caesar dressing is AMAZING. It's only 45 cal per 2 tbsp. and it tastes so good! And I know it's been mentioned, but PB2 is good too. I use the Nature's Own honey wheat bread that is 40 cal/slice, a double serving of PB2 & 1.5 tbsp. of reduced sugar grape jelly. All comes out to about 200 calories for a PB&J.

    Doughnuts, especially the sweet and sugar coated kind. One doughnut is never enough and then you are sooooo hungry a short time later.

    For me, bread only ever used to be a way of eating jam/ cheese/ any sandwich without getting your hands dirty. Now by eliminating it I save like 300 cals. I could eat a chocolate bar for that!

    I totally agree with this. I had gestational diabetes with both my kids so I learned to cut back on the carbs. I LOVE burgers wrapped in lettuce now. I dont miss the bread all that much.

    For me...the stuff that isnt really worth it is all the processed stuff that used to taste good to me, chips, store bought cookies, donuts (except on a rare occasion) and REALLY HIGH CALORIE COFFEE DRINKS!

    You guys are gonna hate me now but...bacon. Never understood the love for it. It's not gross but not worth the hype, either. And especially not worth the calories.

    YAY!!! Someone else who doesn't like bacon!!! only, I think it's gross! I tried to like it for my mom growing up but just could not develop the taste for it - nasty! :noway:

    WHOA. I have never seen three people at the same time who don't like bacon. We should start a club.

    Exactly. I like bread and will have it occasionally for a piece of PB toast but for the most part, I can have sandwich ingredients on a salad or by themselves or a burger in lettuce and enjoy the (way too small) order of fries. There are so many better things I can do with the calories bread takes up!

    I'm afraid we've put you guys down as a peculiar phenomenon!!!

    Next we'll find out you're all left handed.

    Bagels.
    That's because you don't live in NYC and have probably never had a real bagel.

    It was my last trip to New York that put me off them!!! lol

    Only joking - I did love the pretzels though when I went there.
