NUTELLA = EVIL

i have nutella crepes every work morning for breakfast, other than those days when the breakfast place is out of them like today. it is good.
I buy the reduced fat Cresent Roll Pillsbury and cover it with Nutella and bake it, and after baking it, I then dunk the croissant in some more Nutella... I can't get enough of the darn thing. I'm giving it to my brother first thing tomorrow! (I hope)
sorry you lost the fight this time, I am sure you will do better next time
It happens, nothing wrong to have some treats once a while. and thanks for this cool idea, I am going to make it over the weekend and my kids will LOVE them! Thank you

Um, isn't it taking responsibility by admitting that you have problems controlling yourself around some types of food?

Don't beat yourself up over this. A tablespoon of Nutella is 100 calories, so you'd need to eat a little more than two cups of it to gain a pound. Or about 6.5 cups (which I think is about what you'd get from the giant Costco double pack of Nutella) to gain three pounds. So I'm guessing some (most, almost all) of that weight is temporary water weight.
And no matter what anyone says about self-control blah blah blah, the ability to resist Nutella is a superpower that many of us just don't have, so I just don't buy it. And if my daughters want me to buy it, I make them keep it in their rooms.0 -

I make my son keep his junk food in his room, too. I'm betting I could wipe out both Costco containers in a day with the right delivery mechanism. Bananas wouldn't work, though, I'd make myself sick. But waffles, now waffles would probably do the trick.0 -

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.
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.
Can you please not derail another thread with your arguing? Think of the children, I mean the Nutella.
Yep, here we go.

And I don't like Nutella because there isn't nearly enough hazelnut flavor in it and I find it too sweet. So what? This thread is clearly for the Nutella lovers among us.

A lot of people need a sense of humor, but yes, Nutella can be addicting and have an effect on people, like any other hi-calorie food. A co-worker of mine developed a Nutella habit a year or two back, and she promptly went up 2 pant sizes, lol. Had always been one pof those "effortlessly thin" types too.0

Mmmmm Nutella. I always have it in the house but rarely eat it by itself. I make a delicious concoction with it that is amazing:
2 tablespoons Nutella
3/4-1 cup plain greek yogurt
1+ teaspoon dry cheesecake flavored pudding mix
This is good for two servings, and it works out to about 150 calories a serving. I usually dip apples in it, but it's seriously so good you could eat it with a spoon. I have it almost every day.
Nutella and graham crackers is also one of my fave treats.0 -

The problem with Nutella is not that it contains fat, but that the fat is palm oil. It's certainly not among the healthy fats, not to mention that it has HORRIBLE social and environmental impacts in the countries where it is produced. The fact that the main ingredient in Nutella is sugar? Not so good either.
I would much rather have a handful of filberts and a small piece of good chocolate.0 -

Each serving (2 tbsp.) of Nutella contains 200 calories with 100 of those calories being calories from fat. Although Nutella spread does not contain any trans fat it does contain 3.5 grams of saturated fat per serving. If you were eating a diet based on 2,000 calories daily that would be approximately 18% of your fat intake for the entire day. There are 11 grams of total fat per serving.
It should be noted that Nutella nutrition facts show that the spread itself contains a whopping 21 grams of sugar per serving. The first ingredient listed on the packaging is sugar. Remember that the ingredients on food labels are listed in order from most to least. This tells you that the main ingredient in this product is sugar.

I don't even know what your point is here.
While Nutella is delicious, I can't really go back to it ever since my sister made me homemade Nutella for Christmas one year. It tasted like high fiving a million angels, and was so much better than the brand. It was far less sweet (not that I have an issue with sugar), and so much more nutty and flavourful. I need to make some...
I need this recipe.
I Nutella
Haha. I'll have to ask her for the recipe. I'm pretty sure it's just roasted hazelnuts, cocoa powder (or maybe melted chocolate???), a bit of sugar, really not that much, all food processed together, with maybe a splash of milk or cream to hold it together. It's much more of a paste than regular Nutella, which can be kind of gloopy. I'll find that recipe though.
OK I think this might be the recipe my sister used, or close enough to it:

Yay, another plus for the homemade nutella! I did know about the issues with the palm oil industry.

It's a very Bad Thing.
Cup noodles and some types of ramen noodles also have palm oil. Yet another reason to never eat those!

One bad day doesn't undo everything you have already accomplished or are working towards. Acknowledge that it was a "bad day," and move on. You can do this, you are more than capable! Everyone has their foods that they can't resist sometimes...it's called being human. You got this! 0

I was just doing some reading about it, I wasn't aware until now. Interesting. I definitely will consider avoiding it in the future. I mean, food-wise I'm pretty sure it's just another oil, but the environmental stuff is pretty un-cool.
Yeah, I guess I didn't even think about it in food. I was only thinking of it in hair and skin care products.

I love Nutella. I've learned to love it in moderation. I've had it since I was a little kid (in France pretty much everyone has Nutella in their home).
It's very true that there is Palm Oil in Nutella. And a lot of it ... Check out this video.
It's ok to have a little every so often so long as you don't splurge on it. That's the hard part ! Also, if you heat it in the microwave for a few seconds then it's way easier to spread and you end up using less.0
