I must be the only person on the planet that does not like Nutella. Either way food is neither good or bad. You want Nutella, eat it, log it and move on.

i hate this whole "food is neither good nor bad" schtick on here. a few years ago prior to my taking a vacation from mfp, the schtick was "eat more to weigh less!!! and starvation mode for under 1200 calories OMG!" that died and now it's sugar is fine and there is no good or bad foods and don't juice!!

some food is better than others. nutella tastes good and it's not going to kill you, but it's not a top notch food nutritionally.

Yay for you. Either way food is fuel. It is neither good nor bad. IF you choose to villainize an inanimate object. fine.

LOL if you say so. this schtick on myfitnesspal is contageous and kind of annoying.

Then stay out of the forums. I fail to understand why you would think that I care about your opinion. If what you are doing works for you, cool.

You haven't fully experienced the awesomeness of Nutella until you've mixed it with butter. Take a piece of bread, spread some butter on it and the Nutella on top! Delicious!

I think the OP was just making a light-hearted food joke. They were not actually demonizing food or anything like that. I do not have binge eating disorder. I never have. And yet, I know there are certain foods that sometimes I will eat a whole bunch of it past the point that I want to. And the foods themselves are not incredibly nutritious, and take the space of calories for meeting my protein macro or having some fresh fruits and vegetables or meeting my calcium for the day. So, I buy those foods sometimes. Not every time I go food shopping and not every time I run out. That is another way of practicing moderation. Whatever works for you. The world will not come crashing down if someone takes a break from nutella on the way to better fitness.

idk, you answered quite a few of my posts for someone who "does not care". i think you do care, otherwise you would have ignored me.

why should i stay out of the forums? i like to post.

I replied to your response to my initial post. Again, if villainizing food helps you get the fat off. Cool, yay for you.

LOL still responding! you care about my opinion a LOT.

I have a feeling you just like to get the last word.

I haven't had Nutella in a very long time. I think I had fallen out of love with it because of the hazelnut. Not a big fan of that nut.

And yet, I can scarf down those Ferrero Rochers like nobody's business.

I guess I'm a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

Either that or my dismissal of Nutella was premature and on a whim. Perhaps I should give it another chance.

this post is extremely hypocritical.

I think what you meant to say was, "No I don't. You do."

OK I think this might be the recipe my sister used, or close enough to it:

Thank g-d for Pinterest. Although the number of hippie, vegan, paleo BS fake imitations I had to wade through to find this was ridiculous. I have no idea what the calorie/macro numbers on this....don't really care haha

I know you said you didn't care, but according to the recipe builder if you split the recipe into 40 servings, each has:

calories 95
Total Fat 6 g
Saturated Fat 1 g
Monounsaturated Fat 2 g
Polyunsaturated Fat 0 g
Trans Fat 0 g
Cholesterol 3 mg
Sodium 16 mg
Potassium 65 mg
Total Carbohydrate 10 g
Dietary Fiber 1 g
Sugars 8 g
Protein 2 g
Vitamin A 1 %
Vitamin C 1 %
Calcium 3 %
Iron 4 %

of course, that's just with the ingredients I chose - different brands/choices might affect the end result a bit. I'm with the person who loves the Reese's Chocolate peanut butter spread. Once I ate a whole jar in less than 24 hours. Depression affects willpower in bad ways. (I am taking care of that now. Less self-medicating with chocolate, and more medicating according to doctor's orders.)

Nutella used to be my favorite ice cream topping. Still love the stuff, but just eat a tsp or 2 at a time now.
