foods that are not "worth" the calories?

Hellman's light Mayo is fantastic. I prefer it to regular mayo. And much less calories.0
-
Store-bought cake...SO not worth it!
I SO agree!!!! You always think it will be good and it NEVER is - only exception - butter cream frosting (I would scrape it off the cake and eat it with a spoon LOL) and ... Carvel Ice Cream Cake.

Crackers. I like to shove the cheese directly into my cheese hole.0
-
What I call "grocery store" chocolate - regular chocolate like hershey's. If I'm going to eat chocolate, I'm going to get the good stuff. Godiva, or Lindt. I don't bother with the 'grocery store' brands (and yes, i know godiva is sold in grocery stores now. But I don't buy it there).0

Cake, donuts, and sweet treats in general. Anymore, I really think before I grab these because processed sugar is so bad for a person!!!0

Tortilla wraps. I just can't justify like 200 cals for one.
Try the Fiber One 80 calorie wraps! They're good!!! And stay fresh for a long time0 -
High fructose corn syrup or sugary sweetened drinks. Been addicted to them for 52 years, not even in moderation are the calories worth the pleasure.
You go Dave!!!!!!0 -
Definitely orange juice--used to be able to drink a carton of it a day. What a rude awakening a couple of years ago to realize how teeth rotting and weight additive it was! Definitely not worth it--also, to echo what others have said, drinking calories for me is simply not satisfying.
Also, I love nuts, but I don't feel nearly full enough on a small portion to justify the calories or the amount I would eat to feel satiated!
Finally, I also take off the cheese and try and cut out bread (go for meat and veggies in a sandwich only).0 -
I don't eat lasagne any more. It's too high in calories for me to even contemplate fitting it in as I've tried the 'just have a small slice and plenty of salad' approach - that doesn't work for me and lasagne. And any attempt to make it lower calorie makes it nasty.
I actually make a zucchini lasagna where the zucchini is the noodles, ground turkey and just reduced fat ricotta. Orgasm in my mouth (like all lasagnas) but much less calories0 -
Most chocolates or baked foods like brownies, cake etc and take away pizza like dominoes or pizzahut... Although I really love them! Just not enough to waste my calories on them.0

Sliced sandwich bread, pasta from a box, rice...
All that flavourless, starchy stuff. I just can't do it. I don't enjoy it enough to waste 150+ calories on a single piece of whole-wheat bread or 300 on a sad little bowl of boiled pasta.
Now I eat those three things very, very rarely (once every couple months or less), and I get fancy, fresh bakery bread, make my own pasta or go to a pricey Italian place, or make Thai food with coconut rice so it's actually worth eating.
I guess I should maybe amend myself and say that eating low-quality food isn't worth it for me anymore. I'd rather have 4oz of perfectly cooked blue-rare filet mignon than 8oz of cheap burger, too. Or two perfect macarons from the French patisserie instead of a cookie from Subway. You know?0 -
Plain white rice and sliced white bread are not worth the trouble. Also, any dessert that looks much better than it tastes.0
-
Cheese and chicken wings.0
-
Cereal. I can eat five bowls of it and still not be full.0
-
Or two perfect macarons from the French patisserie instead of a cookie from Subway. You know?
Oh yes. Macarons I know. And love...love love love! I am getting more and more that way. When I met my husband I thought he was a big ol' snob for not liking Snickers and such, but insisting on high quality chocolate or baked goods. Now I get it!
Also gotta say that I am on that no cereal train. I've never really liked cereal to begin with.0 -

low fat cheese
non fat cheese
tofurkey
veggie patties
tofu
eggplant
brussel sprouts
escargot
pepperoni less or cheeseless pizza
pretty much anything that doesn't actually taste good is IMO not worth the calories.
I agree with this completely. If it's good, and I have it have it, I'll work it into my calories but gross food.... Nope0 -
Dunkin Donuts. Somewhere along the lines, their donuts got a weird aftertaste. I always get the "sad trombone" feeling after eating one. Now, the local donut shop's donuts? GET INTO MAH BELLEH.0

I disagree, it has its place, really good nutritional value for that 200 calories0
