    Two least healthy things? Chicken and plain natural yoghurt!

    I'm not trying hard enough, am I? :laugh:

    I can't think of anything in my refrigerator at the moment. But my pantry has Nutella and captain crunch :tongue:

    I'm moving tomorrow, also, so I don't have much in the fridge.

    The least healthy thing would probably be the bottle of vodka in the freezer.
    I also have Gruyere and smoked Gouda...but I consider fine cheeses to be health food! :bigsmile:
  • Not mine, but I know that there's at least four candy bars of some sort as well as some beef and sausage chili

    Fuzzy blueberries....ewww.
    Think I read somewhere that if you rinse fresh fruit with a vinegar/water mix they don't go bad so fast.

    I have to try this. I've heard it before somewhere. Really tired of fuzzy raspberries

    Define healthy and unhealthy foods for me please. There are Reese's eggs in the door of my fridge, if you're talking about calorie dense food, but that doesn't make it bad. Just saying.

    In the fridge, probably the jar of goose fat and the brie.

    In the pantry I would say my stash of Lindt Dark Caramel Seasalt chocolate. I have 10 bars I think, but I'm pretty good at staying away from them.
  • wagon wheel biscuit choc coated marshmallows but they are the hubby's for his work

    Many fruits freeze well - especially if you are using them in yoghurt or smoothies after. Don't buy any more than you will eat before they go off - if you cannot resist a special freeze the extra. Berries are notoriously difficult to "sterilise" and the ones on the ground will have many spores that are resistant to chemical treatment.

    Your best methods of preservation are 1) The fresher you eat them the better; 2) Temperature - cooling them slow microbial breakdown; 3) Freeze what you cannot use in a few days after they are ripe.

    I think the most unhealthy in our fridge is tomato sauce and Mayonnaise....

    In the main fridge; there's a bottle of mayo I keep on hand for my Son when he visits. Hubby & I can't stand the stuff, but he loves it. There's a couple leftover slices of Jack's Supreme pizza. That's Hubby's. Um, one piece of leftover lasagna I made last week and a jar of Hershey's Special Dark hot fudge ice cream topping, again, that's Hubby's for the ice cream in the freezer. OH! There's some cupcakes in the freezer too, leftover from Hubby's birthday last September. I should probably throw those out. o.O The rest is all 'healthy' stuff.

    Now, our other fridge is an under counter specialty beverage center Hubby brought home from work that we're testing and that's full of goodies such as; beer, various bottles of wine, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Canada Dry tonic, Hubby's RC cola and my Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry soda.

    Hmm. I may have to try that! Especially in the off seasons, it seems like fresh fruit just doesn't live too long !



    ^ I bought a fridge thermometer as my soft fruits always went off so quick......turns out my fridge was at 7 oC and fluctuated a lot! Now back at 4 oC, food is keeping better and longer!

    The unhealthiest food in my fridge at the moment is a Melton Mowbray pork pie! And I am gonna make it fit my calorie intake one day this week! Macros?....it'll have to be a day off! OMG, the fat will be a killer that day!

    Salami (that I don't eat), Mattesons smoked sausage (that I don't eat), chocolate, squirty cream (I now use low fat greek yog instead) & a quiche that I'm regretting agreeing to have half of, might have to split my half between today & tomorrow so it isn't quite so bad (450cals with 27.something grams of fat for HALF of this thing)

    Salad cream and various cheeses (but I'm trying to stick to the light cheese and leave the full fat ones for my hubby)

    White wine and I'm another with mayonnaise. Ketchup is probably the third because of the sugar. It's really the only thing I knowingly buy with added sugar, but I just won't give it up, no matter what happens.

    My fridge is usually in pretty good shape. I think the worst things in there right now are assorted local beers (I don't like beer- I keep them for guests) and some jarred sauces (sweet & sour, alfredo).

    The freezer is slightly worse off: frozen pizza, tater tots, popsicles (not too bad, def low cal, but probably not truly "healthy")

    The pantry is where things really get ugly- the fridge and freezer get cleaned out regularly, but the pantry still has all the stuff I was eating before: boxed mac & cheese, stuffing mix, gravy, cream soups, baked beans . . . I eat them rarely enough now that I should get rid of them, but . . . just in case?

    I cannot do without my snacks, so I just find a way to fit it into the day :]

    But things that are harder to fit or just aren't "meal" food...

    Heath bars. I keep em in the freezer because cold chocolate and toffee is the best.
    PB M&Ms also in the freezer
    Chocolate milk
    Diet dr pepper vanilla
    Cherry coke zero
  • chocolate syrup, whole milk, tons of butter and left overs from the rest of my family's meals, I have to cook 2 meals a night as I am in this fight on my own as far as home goes.

    Probably the mayonnaise, cheese, and butter. Peanut butter too. Everything else is just fruits, vegetables, tofu, eggs, meats, and fish. I cook all my meals/snacks. My taste buds have changed; I don't really like processed foods anymore.

    My fridge is pretty much empty right now. So I'm going to go for the nail polish. No way am I eating that.

    Yup. Calorie dense =/= unhealthy.

    The most calorie dense stuff we have is the homemade strawberry jam Mrs. Jruzer made last weekend off of the 2 flats of berries we just picked. That little bit of spring sunshine will help keep us mentally healthy through the upcoming months of cabin fever.

    That really sucks. I don't really get a huge amount of support with this either. My mum is happy that I am losing weight & knows that I NEED to do it but she still laughs at me when I'm weighing out my food and thinks I try to be too strict. She also still buys a lot of the 'unhealthy' food we used to eat together, for the most part I will now split something like my half of a pack of 12 jaffa cakes over 2 or 3 nights instead of eating all 6 in 1 sitting.
