Dill pickles are awesome. I have one or two as snack in the afternoon when I get hungry. They have ZERO calories. they're high in sodium but I don't eat much sodium throughout the day so it's harmless.
I highly recommend them to keep your calorie count down.

I love dill pickles too! We get the giant jar from Costco for like 4 bucks. Worth it.0

:laugh:
First thing I thought when I read the title was, "Yeah, but what about the sodium?" I love pickles and haven't been able to limit my daily sodium yet. Working on that and then I can enjoy the goodness again.0 -
Good stuff! But ONLY Claussen brand dill pickles... They are the closest thing I've had to my grandmother's homemade ones.0

What I want to know is why olives have so many calories when pickles don't. Love them both, but miss the odd olive binge sometimes when I'm chowing down on pickles.
Just so you know, though: They do have calories. Just not as many as olives. FDA rules that things with less than 5 calories (I think?) can be reported as calorie free.0 -
my kids have them gone in two days lol0

Off to eat a Mt. Olive pickle pack now LOL....0

I love eating pickles as a snack. In fact, I'm heading to the kitchen now to get some.0

If you're "lucky" like me, sodium is a complete non-issue. ("Lucky" - on the one hand, high blood pressure will not be an issue for me. On the other, naturally low blood pressure means getting dizzy, and now that I am controlling what I eat and even though I do not track sodium (I never even log added salt), I am definitely consuming less than I used to, and that + dropping weight means my BP is dropping back out of the "normal" range and the freezing cold extremities are returning, oh joy.)0 -
Oh geez, this title alone seriously made me LOL.
I love real pickles but they upset my stomach.0 -
There's a reason I grow three varieties of cucumbers... pickles, pickles, pickles!0

This is the only way to eat a pickle.
Oh, and with some diet coke.0 -

I'm also in for The Joy of Pickles. For science.0 -
I have the book, Joy of Pickles. Lots of awesome recipes! Try making saurkraut. I really like lacto-fermented cucumbers, peppers and kimchi. You can ferment any veggie with a quart mason jar and some salt. No need for fancy gadgets like air locks.
Now you got me thinking, think I'm going to pickle some of my squash glut!
I also do vinegar pickles. Have a big batch of pickling yellow Hungarian Wax peppers sitting in the fridge in a gallon jar. Okra is my favorite savory pickle. Armenian cucucumbers come in a close second. I also love dilly beans.
Sweet watermelon rind pickles are my favorite sweet pickles. I make them with a bread and butter recipe for cucumbers so they have less sugar.0 -

I hope this is a rhetorical question. It is right?0 -

Olives are high in fat, Good fat thats why the calories are high. I like both olives and pickles and I love salt like a fat kid loves cake.0 -
In...
to see if this goes anywhere fun.0 -

Think olive oil. Yes, olives have oil in them, thus the increased calorie count.0 -
At first, I thought this said, "D**k pickles are awesome."0

Shocker.0 -
Why does it seem like the word "pickles", as used in the thread title, is just a euphemism?0

Well now...if he had put up "the joy of cucumbers," we could have expanded our conversation, but pickles alone kind of limits things.0

Doh! Bit of sarcasm there. Yes, I know that olives have fat in them. LOL!0 -

I'm with you! I LOVEEEEEEEEE pickles. I don't care about the sodium.
