    I'm craving chips right now. I sooo know it's not worth it!!

    You can still eat chips, just get good ones and eat moderation. I found "Food Should Taste Good" has great tasty chips, and I eat it once awhile.

    I love cheese cake. I cant keep it in the house because I will eat it all. IT is the same with toast. I have no clue how many calories are in the cheese cake but I know it is a lot.

    I eat Eli Cheesecake is about 230 (one serving, 1/12). I have good self control and sometimes I don't even eat the entire serving. I cut them small pieces when I just bought it, and put them back in the freezer. When I have the calories to spare and want to have a taste, I'll take out a small piece (or even cut portion of it), and enjoy it.

    I do avoid cheesecake from restaurant thought (if I could), they tend to be harder to know how much calories and usually it's a lot. Like Cheesecake factory's are range from 507 - over 1000 calories.

    I know they are not the same, but baked chips sometimes are not so bad. At least you get the crunch and the general taste with less calories!

    It happened to me on Tuesday. I was doing great all day. Dinner came around and I ate a big salad. My son asked me to make him some Kraft Mac n' Cheese because he hadn't had it in a long time. I make him the mac n' cheese...he eats a bowl and goes upstairs. I'm about to wash out the pot and dump the rest down the drain...and I take a bite. It's so mysteriously cheesy and kinda good...next thing I know about 1 1/2 cups later and 400+ calories over my limit for the day I have eaten most of the mac n' cheese. For the rest of the evening I'm cursing myself for eating that fake cheesy crap and it wasn't even worth it.

    Ranch dressing. Maybe it's a southern thing, but I wanted to put Ranch on everything-- on salads, dip my fries or celery in it, put it on my chicken... I was having a salad the other day and was super careful to measure out just ONE serving size, but when I plugged that in I realized that alone almost blew my entire fat gram allowance for the day. I realize there is fat free Ranch, but nothing touches the original. Still, just not worth it. :/

    I have recently gotten into Ranch dressing again, but I have found that I like using the powdered stuff better! Now I can't imagine how that would work on salad, but on chicken its great!!!

    Not quite an actual food but Thursday evening my daughter sprung on me she needed cakes for a bake sale at school on Friday ... uh oh! I made her chocolate cup cakes and iced buns decorated with chocolate buttons, before I knew it I'd picked up so many of the buttons, eaten a ton of cake batter and taken care of the excess chocolate frosting :embarassed: As a result I had no dinner on Thursday evening lol

    There are so many things I used to eat that I now eat and they just don't taste as great, or don't taste fgood enough to match the calorie count.

    Mcdonalds fries, crisps (chips) and a lot of chocolates. I'd rather eat fruit.

    Those high fiber bars! You know, the ones with about 9g. I can't handle that much soluable fiber and I feel like I"m going to die until they pass through!

    Lol, I feel like I'm going to die WHILE they're passing through. Those things are insane.-- They should come with warning labels.

    Pop Tarts!! I used to LOVE to snack on them (2 pastries per pack) and the other day as I was rummaging through the pantry for soemthing to eat I happened to notice the calories.... three hundred something for just ONE pastry! I was eating more than half of my daily allowance of calories before... and not even feeling full! It is sickening to look back at what I used to eat in one meal.... yuck!
