    If you can limit yourself to a reasonable serving of the stuff, you're a stronger person than I am. :drinker:

    My suggestion is... Get the single serving Nutella with breadsticks. It's yummy, and just enough for a craving without the temptation to eat the whole jar. They just put it out and my friends are already raving about it, I had one this weekend, it was perfect...

    If it fits your macros, I say go for it. Then again, I don't track/control sugar and I know others do. I'm not worried about the hazelnuts in it but you might want to keep an eye on the refined sugar aspect. Up to you.

    Also keep in mind willpower. Are you able to have just 20g or will having that cause you to have another 900 calorie episode? There are some things I stopped keeping in the house because 1 serving was fine but I never ate just 1 (example: oreos)

    I buy chocolate-flavored peanut butter instead.

    Surprisingly, I've had a jar of the stuff in my cabinet for about a month now, and it's only half gone. I guess I would rather eat actual food now than waste 100 calories per tablespoon of it, but when I have calories left at the end of my day, I will have a tablespoon or 2. I like to put it in a mini bowl and put it in the microwave for 20 seconds and then dip a banana in it :love: It's got a lot of fat, but it's mostly the good kind, so as long as it fits in your macros, go for it. Just maybe next time try not to have 900 calories worth!

    These have been out for a year or so where I'm from!

    If it fits in your calories and macros, you should eat and enjoy it.

    Nothing wrong with having a small amount every day. The problem with Nutella is that people believe it's healthy, or a healthy substitute for peanut butter. There's almost nothing nutritional about it, but should be considered a treat. Go for it ;-)

    Nutella jars just beg me to dip my finger in and lick it clean.

    yup, these b*stards are tempting.

    It's no worse than any other chocolate.

    Eat whatever you want, whenever you want in moderation. So a serving of Nutella per day will be fine as long as it does fit into your calorie/nutrient goals.

    Plus, Nutella tastes great.

    If you can work it in, no problem. Personally, I prefer hazelnut nut butter + chocolate to nutella both for taste and for satiety, but that's just me ;P Oh, and if you add mascarpone cheese and fruit ... mmmm.

    *not fat* and happy all night.

    I have a saved recipe in my files.

    "Peanut butter and nutella on a baby spoon, 10 grams". That's so I can count the spoons. Of course, I had to practice knowing what 10 grams looks like with my digital scale. Had to lick every spoon clean so I could start over and get an accurate measurement.

    I do eat it withnPB, because it's yummy. It actually cured me of Reese PB cup addiction because I prefer nutella to the chocolate and natural PB to any other kind. Then I had to scale back on the PB-Nutella. Also, I hope the PB slows the sugar absorption from the nutella.
