    Mozzarella! All other cheese I can eat in moderation but if I get a mozzarella ball I have to eat it all!

    Cheese and bread. Both healthy - and I used to make all my own bread! But too many calories. Low carb tortillas for me!

    So I keep more almonds and nuts in the house because three cashews keeps me from munching down many worse things!

    great question! dried cranberries - if I have them in the house (intended to sprinkle on my salads), I will eat a big handful or two right before bed every night until they're all gone...not good. Not only extra calories but so much sugar right before bed.

    dried/fresh coconut, walnuts, sometimes kellogs frosties.

    I have kellog's frosties in the house now to eat as the occasional treat when I crave something sweet and I don't overdo it as much/feel as bad about it than when I'd do that with chocolate, plus it doesn't have nearly as much fat/saturated fat as chocolate. Wouldn't say it's super healthy per se, but healthier than most treat foods!

    I try to not buy dried coconut at the market anymore because I'll end up consuming the whole bag in 1 or 2 days. Usually not in one sitting but you get the point!

    The big bucket of yogurt. If it's open, it's gone, and nobody really needs to eat 1 kg of yogurt in a day, so I just stick to buying the individual serving cups.

    Breakfast cereal, nut butters, dried fruit - anything calorie-dense and not too dry (I hate dry food, so nuts and grains, even popcorn kernels stay around longer). I bought a box of Special K the other week for a treat, but managed to scarf it down within 12 hours, even though it made me really sick. I'm awful for eating carby food until my eyes glaze over.

    Any kind of "healthy" chips or 100 calorie packs, because I can eat those like no other! Also, jars of natural PB, tubs of ice cream, and natural almond butter. I can literally eat them by the spoonful and before I know it, they're all gone! Lastly, one of my favorites...dark chocolate covered almonds!

    Peanut butter has been banished permanently...although I am considering PB2.

    This may be a funny question. But I have been wanting cereal for a while now. If I keep milk and cereal at my house it's usually gone in two days. I can eat cereal like it's going out of style. I'm talking about the good for you stuff too. Not the sugar loaded stuff. I just wondered if anyone else had something..that seems so innocent like cereal that you just can't have in your kitchen. ??

    I am the same way! I tend to overdo it MORE with the healthier cereals (Kashi especially! And Multi-grain cheerios) than the normal ones. I also can't really keep nuts of any kind in the house either, because I can eat them like potato chips. Or, any kind of flavored yogurt. I have to keep plain or vanilla greek yogurt ONLY, otherwise it's gone in 3 days (between me and my husband).

    This is exactly what I'm like...and the reason I try to avoid cooking with mozzarella as I know if there's any left over from the recipe I'll eat the lot.

    Have you tried making your own PB? I have to do this now because of how much I love the stuff, but can never really afford the calories and macros that come with it. Just buy a bag of your favorite peanuts (or any kind of nut, really) and put them in a food processor until it becomes a paste. Super easy, you don't need to add oil or salt or anything, and it comes out to about 120 calories for 2 tbsp, as opposed to Jif, with 190 for 2.

    I highly recommend it! I won't ever get store-bought PB again!

    PB2 is the bomb. True story. :flowerforyou:
