If you could make one food lower fat/calories...

We all have our guilty pleasures, and there are plenty of foods I'd eat much more often if it wouldn't ruin my food diary and get in the way of my weight loss goals. Anything fried is high up on the list (especially fried chicken and french fries), as are really decadent desserts. But I think if I could choose one day-to-day food I wish was lower in calories, it would be Nutella. My husband and I love Nutella, but we don't buy it because it is pretty much empty calories and fat and we could easily finish off a jar a week if we wanted. I just ordered a batch of PB2 and am very excited after reading the reviews for it. I did a search, and there doesn't seem to be a Nutella equivalent! I tried making my own Nutella at home once, and it wasn't the same texture or flavor and didn't satisfy the same way. Hopefully some genius out there reads this and gets to work quickly to remedy this problem!
What would you choose if you could make one food lower in fat and/or calories?

I wouldn't make anything lower in fat or calories. But I'd add lots more protein to all fruits and veggies!0

almonds, or most nuts for that matter, they're so damned tasty and so high in calories0
-
Cheese. Only if it wouldn't alter the taste or texture, though.0
-
Pizza. And yes, I know I could make my own pizza that is significantly lower in calories and better for me (and I do). But if we're talking magic here, I would like someone to magically make stuffed crust, extra cheesy, extra greasy pizza to be lower in fat and calories, please. Oh, and chocolate cheesecake.0

most definately pasta. I love pasta but rarely eat it because of the calorie count.0
-
Dessert - cakes, pies, cookies, truffles, fudge, cinnamon rolls... (I'd make them lower cal so I could eat more of them!) :drinker:0

Fat doesn't make you fat.
Fat helps with satiety.
When they remove fat from foods, like yogurt, they replace it with sugar to keep the taste.
I'd rather the fat since it'll keep me fuller longer than the sugar.
Note, I'm NOT saying anything is wrong with sugar. I ate a chocolate chip cookie today. And a homemade chocolate banana muffin. Plus I'm friends with Chelle. I very clearly have no problems with sugar.0 -
brownies.
mmmm......brownies.0 -
Cheesecake. *Sighs*0

If I could change one food in the spirit of what the OP is saying...it would be my fries with gobs of melted cheese and green chile!0

Freaking cheesecake of course! I want to eat a whole cheesecake so bad.0

I'm with you on the pizza! As well as cake. I love cake!0 -
Muffins. Chocolate chip muffins. Those huge ones Costco used to have.0

Pork pies and sausages rolls.0

Not necessarily lower calorie foods, but definitely make things like pizza or something else unhealthy have more protein. I absolutely hate the hungry feeling and if I don't have time to cook, I know it's too easy to reach for something simple or grab takeout.0

Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge chunk. I have a plan. If I were to make it past goal weight to ''ideal'' weight, I'm going to have a day of eating whatever I want and however much just for that day. I might gain 5 pounds over night but if I had gotten to 136, I wouldn't care. There's a tub of Ben and Jerry's coming my way0

Bread, all bread, which includes pizza dough, sandwich bread, Naan, rolls, biscuits, etc. All the good stuff.0

This! Baked goods are my vice. I love home baked bread too. I guess if flour didn't have calories these items wouldn't be so bad.0 -
alcohol.

^^this ^^
but maybe nut butters.. only b/c i can never stop at one spoon...
though most leafy greens have a lot of protein (in macro breakdown i mean) percentage wise at least, already.0 -
Bread and Butter.0

Just one food? Probably Nutella, as embarrassing as that is. It should totally be 1 calorie and 1 carb per tablespoon, instead of 100 calories and 11g carbs.0
