Nutella is my weakness! It is soo addictive! Does anyone else have this problem? Would it be too bad if I have it 2 or 3 times a week? Or is that too much? Too my understanding, the only real problem with it is the sugar content, as the other ingredients are relatively healthy.

    You can eat a lot of food for the number of calories in a tblsp of Nutella but if it doesn't put you over your calorie limit, it won't hurt you.

    (Personally I'm week and would eat more than I should so I don't have it in the house.)

    Nothing is bad in moderation. But Nutella is very high in fat - 12g in just 2 tablespoons. You might try mixing it with plain Greek yogurt (1 part Nutella to 4 parts yogurt. You can get your chocolate fix and stretch your calories and macros.

    Nutella as well as peanut butter are my weaknesses. I know a little but in moderation is fine, but if its in my house I will eat spoonful after spoonful. So I refuse to buy it lol

    I do not like Nutella at all. Blah! My husband on the other hand used to eat a jar a day. No joke. He loves it. He hasn't eaten it at home in quite awhile. He probably has it stashed in his desk at work :)

    If it fits within your calorie goal, you're golden. Can't have it in my house, though. It will haunt me until I eat the whole jar with a spoon. Or finger. Kinda like the Planters Nutrition cinnamon raisin granola peanut butter that I consumed an entire jar of one weekend... :blushing:

    iI want Nutella, I'll eat Nutella. I am not going to stop eating something because I am on a 'diet'. You can't avoid foods forever (well, maybe YOU can!) but I won't.. If it's going to be in my life, I'll eat it in moderation and not feel guilty about it.

    I usually eat any and everything I want as long as I'm within my goal and I don't feel bad about it. HOWEVER..Nutella is dangerous for me and not something I can eat in moderation. One spoon always ends up being the entire effin jar.

    Too much sugar for me, but so long as it fits in your macro and calorie goals, it isn't a problem.

    They sell these little Nutella & Go snack pack things now. One package is 268 calories. Great way to get the Nutella fix with a little portion control.

    There's barely half a teaspoons of Nutella and peanut butter in each bite but tastes gooood. And it's healthier. One of your 5 a day!

    It is so good stirred into plain Greek yogurt! Doesn't take much to make the yogurt into a bowl of AWESOME! And then at least you're only eating about a half serving of the Nutella, and getting protein from the yogurt. Top with strawberries or even more awesome.
