Foods You Hate But Eat Anway Because They're Good For You

Options
Go!

For me, it's cottage cheese. I eat it almost everyday because it's a good source of vegetarian protein, it's easy to portion out and take to work, and it's low cal. I can't stand the texture though! I've found that if I mix it with granola or Fiber One, it's much more tolerable. I've also added some crumbled blue cheese to it and transformed it into a chip/pretzel dip. I just need some crunch!

I don't like squishy foods--so I'm also not a huge fan of yogurt, but again, eat it frequently, always stirring in fruit or cereal with it.

    You should try either whipped cottage cheese (Friendship makes it) or greek yogurt if you hate the texture. A cup of plain greek yogurt has pretty much the same amount of protein as a cup of cottage cheese, and in my opinion, tastes wayyyyyy better.

    For me, it used to be veggies, but through experimenting I've found good ways to cook them, and now I actually like them. I don't force myself to eat something I don't like...but then again there isn't much I don't like! :laugh:

    I don't any more. I eat the better foods of all the foods I like

    Carrots I guess, but I don't dislike them

    Everything I put in my mouth now i enjoy :wink:

    Asparagus...bleck and beets, both of which I eat 2-3x a year, which isn't much, but makes a change.

    I've taught myself to eat lightly sweetened yogurt. But it was a long, slow process beginning with fruity, sugary yogurt. :)

    Blueberries, I've learned to tolerate them ............. in fruit smoothies but that's pretty much where it begins and ends.

    Hmmm...have been wanting to try cottage cheese but I couldn't get past the texture either. Never heard of Whipped! Will look for it. Thanks for the info :)

    I guess, I don't "eat" water. But I hate water!

    Before calorie counting I drank 6+ regular sodas per day, and I think that has kind of "ruined" me in a way where I want something sweet. I quit drinking soda, and started drinking crystal light. Crystal light ruins my water bottles, so I tried truvia + water. Right now I try to drink 1 thing of crystal light energy (in the morning) then either truvia + water or just water during the day.

    It's a process :P

    I don't eat anything I don't like. I find that for everything that is good for me that I don't like, there is a comparable substitute that I do like.

    I don't eat anything I don't like I just eat the things I like and adjust portion sizes, you still have to enjoy your meals or you'll get bored and slip up sooner or later
