I seem to have replaced my candy addiction with...spanish olives.
Seriously, I love the things.
Is this a bad thing?

    Olives have super healthy fats in them, as opposed to candy which provides just empty calories! I'd say as long as it fits in your calories, go for it!!

    I LOVE olives too!

    As long as you can handle the salt - go for it!

    I love green olives. Especially the ones with the pits still in them, they have ALL the juice in there. Wait till the taste runs out before you even bite at all, then when you do, just barely break the skin and olive taste will flood your mouth again. Enjoy, wait, repeat. You can get like 30 minutes of yum out of a single olive.

    Green, not black.

    Amazing.

    I can eat a whole jar... :(


    Edited: Also kalamata. If I don't break a tooth on a pit.

    I LOVE Olives! I've heard from a few people I shouldn't eat them due to the Sodium content, but I would rather give up candy than olives (and I also love candy)

    you are kidding right? they are so amazing, just... oozing goodness. Not the crappy ones the put on cheap pizzas, the good quality ones. They are the best <3 aaah I miss them, can't get them for a reasonable price where I live now :(

    One of my MFP friends introduced me to jalapeno stuffed olives - they are really tasty and only 10 cals.

    olives are awesome. but spanish olives are my least favourite. nice kalamata olives ore green olives are the best. so long as they are fresh, not cheap jarred stuff.

    marinated in some chilli and garlic, stuffed with feta cheese.

    mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Stuffed with jalapenos...fantastic idea! I don't care for the ones stuffed with feta. Bleh.

    I love black olives too, so it's all good.

    Sometimes I don't even put dressing on my salad, just throw a few olives in there (like 10) and stir it in with everything else and there is a little olive flavor on all of it and no dressing needed.
