foods that are not "worth" the calories?

You guys are gonna hate me now but...bacon. Never understood the love for it. It's not gross but not worth the hype, either. And especially not worth the calories.

Your right, now I hate you, J/K But Bacon is Amazing.

Drinks with calories - what a waste to drink calories! Liquid just doesn't stay in the mouth long enough to make it worth it.

There are so many things that are a waste of calories. I agree with everyone who said fast food - I never eat in places like that at the best of times, even though the smell of fried potatoes (I live right on the South Coast of the UK near to all the Fish and Chip shops and there is NOTHING like real F&C shop chips in bread = double carbs with butter and mayo, but I digress). I now look at food as a fuel and try to forget that I LOVE buttery, crumbly croissants warm from the oven spread with cherry preserves and butter...the amount of fuel that they provide for a workout in comparison with the number of daily calories they absorb really does make them a total waste

YAY!!! Someone else who doesn't like bacon!!! only, I think it's gross! I tried to like it for my mom growing up but just could not develop the taste for it - nasty! :noway:

Beer. I'm just not a beer girl. I much prefer wine.
Juices. Not a fan. Lots of calories. (unless it's OJ in my mimosa...)
Ice cream. Never been a huge fan (I do like Skinny Cow Ice Cream sandwiches though)
Beef and pork in any form. Cut both out of my diet years ago, and now I prefer turkey and chicken.
Cake. Never been a huge fan of it. I much prefer brownies or fudge. Mmmm...fudge.

That's all I can think of right now.

Oh. Milk. I used to love it as a kid, but now...IDK. Not so much.

anything that requires me to drink my calories (bar protein shakes and even they are pushing it). I will have a glass of wine occasionally but most of the time I like to eat my calories. The fruit juice is well and truely out my life. So much sugar and calories for a cup of liquid :noway:

Mayo. I do really like it, and used to eat it on absolutely everything. But for the amount I want to eat, I just can't justify the calories. It's one thing where "just have less!" doesn't work for me. I know if I'm going to eat mayo, I'll be eating a LOT of it, so it works better for me to just avoid it all together.

Mayo is the only low fat food I buy, and only because I really can't tell the difference between it and the regular stuff. I also gave up soda for the most part because I don't like it enough for the amount of sugar in it, so for me it's not worth it. If we're doing a movie night, I'll get a small bottle of the diet stuff to split.

Brocolli. It's like a mini tree.
I don't want to eat trees.
Disgusting stuf!

It's not a tree, it's a flower. Seriously stick it in water and watch it flower.

On to what the OP asked. Sweets and a lot of sauces.

Anything high calorie that tastes like crap. I have no issue spending calories on yummy items, but it makes me so sad when I decide to work my day to have something high calorie, and look forward to it, then I get it and it's horrible. Most recently happened with KFC. It tasted like sadness

I made a delicious chocolate cake from scratch a couple weeks ago. So totally worth the high calories! Decided to have a small slice as breakfast, it would be a small breakfast, but that cake was so good!!!
Well, my kids forgot to cover it well, it was stale and yucky, but I was so famished when I woke up that I ate the cake anyway. The cake was a yucky worthless lie.

Kraft cheesey pasta. Don't ask me why but I love that stuff, and it became my Sunday "treat" lunch, half the box followed by a scone with jam and whipped cream. Half the box works out about 550 calories, and now that I live alone, you know I'm going to eat the other half box later that same day. I just can't justify 550 calories on a lunch that isn't even going to fill me.

I don't think any oil or butters are worth the calories personally

Any junk foods really arent worth the calories. Cookies, cakes, all that garbage. Its good once in a while and in moderation, but I still usually feel like crap after I eat it. It was good for the 2 seconds it was in my mouth, but it takes a lot longer than that to burn it off. Another thing that I dont think is worth the calories are sodas and all the other junk that people drink like DD drinks and McDonalds drinks. Theyre LOADED with calories. But why do people drink them when they could just have some water for no calories?
Some things that I find surprisingly high in calories are salad dressings, pastas and peanut butter. But im glad they make PB2, because it only has 45 calories per 2 TBSP vs. 180 in regular peanut butter.

I broke my ability to eat real mayo by spending years eating the extra light stuff. now I cannot go back (real mayo tastes slimy now) it bothers me what is in the stuff but I am addicted now.

certain chocolate is now a no go, if I am going to eat chocolate I am going to have the best. My boycott of Lindt is breaking my heart, I love those little balls of heaven but I promised I would boycott until they withdraw support of Autism $peaks :sad:

for me nuts aren't worth it. They don't fill me up, they don't satisfy in any way unless they are incorporated in somthing (pecans or almonds in oatmeal, pecans or peanuts in cookies, almonds in chicken salad) they don't really satisfy anything for me either with my nutrition requirements or taste or helping me feel full. My biggest pet peeve is when people say "nuts are a great source of protein," um no, just no . . . nuts are a great source of healthy fats, and I get my fats elsewhere (which is why they don't fill me up or satsify me).
