    Dude. Whose soul is 0 calories?!

    I'm pretty sure mine is made of cookies, prosecco, and white French bread. That stuff goes straight to your hips.

    So we all do our best to try to reduce the amount of calories in the things we like to eat. It might be as simple as putting less sauce on foods, it might be as extreme as baking with sugar substitutes. Sometimes its worth it, sometimes its not, but we've all tried something like that at some point.

    Every so often though I run across a user submitted entry that is truly sad. For example, the other week I was searching for an entry for a doughnut I'd eaten and I ran across an entry titled, "Donut - Frosting Removed". :sad: Why do this to yourself? If you've made the decision to eat the doughnut, then eat the doughnut. I'm curious what other horrible food abominations you guys have run across in your fitnesspal travels.

    As a corollary, I'd also love to hear any hilariously misguided alterations. For example on many occasions I've seen entries for fast food items logged as "whatever burger - no mayo" which mysteriously cuts the calorie count in half.

    Donut - frosting removed?! I can't. LOL!!!!! :sad: I remember going to IHOP and ordering pancakes with no butter or syrup. It was a horrible eating experience. :laugh: Not to mention, my friend almost slapped me LOL I will never do that again. I'm either having a cheat/treat meal or not. :happy:

    I'm more sad that most of the diaries I see feature like <%1 fresh fruits of veggies; everything is packaged and processed. That's what sad to me.

    This! I get so frustrated that it is harder to find cherry tomatoes than it is the entire McDs menu. Not that there's anything wrong with fast food in moderation... but balance, people!

    I see too many "no dressing" salads. For real - you "can't have" full fat ranch so you just eat dry lettuce?!

    Now this one I disagree with - I enjoy salad but hate all dressing. So if I'm out at a restaurant, I ask to have no dressing...would I be better off having nothing on the side, or choosing chips instead?

    Yeah I hate salad dressing too, I actually like the taste of plain lettuce and veggies, and a big ol' handful of feta is way better than any dressing for me. I have actually asked for dressing on the side when ordering salads before though, just so the server doesn't look at me weird haha and then I just don't touch it.

    Cat food ?? - yes, hard to come up with an explanation for that one.
    But I suppose the cat could be on a diet, have heard of dogs on diets before.

    Oddly enough, I've had a friend, a guy, who ate tin cat food sandwiches and said it really wasn't much different than pâté, and he preferred the tinned cat food. His explanation, he'd grown up poor and it had been a cheap option that he'd gotten a taste for, and said that in the UK the food had to be up to human consumption standards. I never quite believed that last bit.

    All pet food has to be safe for human consumption. There are people whose job it is to taste test pet food. The reason for the law is that during hard economic times, such as the great depression, people had a tendency to eat pet food because its cheaper than human food

    I suppose it depends on your definition of safe...http://www.bullmarketfrogs.com/2014/03/aafco-admits-rendered-pets-in-pet-food/

    "The saddest entries I see have 'no bread'. I love bread. And, yes, I have one or two of those entries from days I was backed into a caloric corner."

    I eat stuff without bread all the time because I'm gluten intolerant. It's a necessity, not a sacrifice...just sayin' :)

    I am 100% certain that you are not the only gluten intolerant member of MFP.

    Why so condescending when it is truly none of your business how or what someone else eats.

    Some people simply don't like bread. Some people it is a trigger food. Others are in the same boat as you are.

    TO EACH HIS / HER OWN.

    A lot of times, when I get a salad out, I'll enter the no dressing option & then enter the dressing separately depending on how much I use

    I don't care what anyone wants to eat if they like, rocks and forest floor duff are fine entries, just whatever you add, get the info entered right so there are not 50 variations of a basic food when you look it up, and only 1 with correct info!

    I didn't read through the whole thread, but the first page inspired me to look up a bunch of weird stuff. My favorite thing in the database is now officially "Human - Souls". For your information, one soul is zero calories, so feel free to consume as many as you'd like.

    ETA: okay, I read the thread. Apparently I'm not the first to be amused by human souls. Haha.
