Oh, PASTA is another thing that I've almost completely cut out in favor of rice.
I absolutely love pasta, but it has WAY too many calories for me to fit into even a very generous calorie goal unless I decide to eat only once in a day with a couple of really small snacks.0 -
Things I don't like to eat? But I guess I would have to say those Mochalato frappucino duluxeo drinks/milkshakes at Starbucks. I don't know what they are but bleckk... no thanks0

Anything that tastes bad! I hate hate hate when I finally decide to eat that donut at the office and I take one bite and it's stale or just not so good. I used to be afraid of wasting food so I'd just finish it off and think "That's not what I wanted" the entire time I ate it.
Not anymore.
If I don't care for something and it doesn't give me much macro-wise, then I will throw it away. No questions asked.0 -

Anything that goes out of it's way to be extra calorie dense like fried mac and cheese.. I mean, why? Good mac and cheese doesn't need to be f'd around with. Who thought they should fry it, too? Some things HAVE to be fried to taste as good. M&C is not one of them. I'm sure there are plenty of other things that fall into this category. For me, if there is a lower calorie alternative that taste good, I will always opt for that. That means I can have more of it or don't have to blow my calorie goals to eat them.
I also don't waste time with a bunch of sauces and dressings. I detest overdressed salad and can take 25% of a serving of dressing (or oil and vinegar), add a squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper and save 100 calories.0 -
Nothing is off limits, but low fat crap is usually not at all worth the few calories you save. Full fat coke or pepsi ( it's just a way of saying it, we now there is no fat in there, jeez), really is the only thing I don't think is worth the calories.0

I'd have to say for me it would be any liquid calories other than the heavy whipping cream in my coffee or alcohol. I don't care to drink calories otherwise.0

I'm going with McDonald's Milkshakes, but ONLY because they're complete crap. Got my hubby a Shamrock shake the Sunday before St. Patrick's day. It looked great. Started to eat/drink it and it was complete soup. EFF THAT! So we went to Arby's On St. Patricks and got their Andes Mint shake and it was 1000% better. Will never buy a milkshake from McD's again.
I got an Arby's Jamocha shake the other day, after not having one in years. I remember them being delicious. It wasn't. Total waste of calories (delicious points).
I rate food on their "delicious points" and whether it is worth it or not. Same thing, more fun in my head.0 -

I went to a sushi restaurant recently and tried a deep fried roll. I didn't realize that it wouldn't be battered in anything, they just threw the roll as is into a deep fryer. It was absolutely disgusting. Up until that moment, I thought frying could improve anything. Not anymore. Yick.0 -
"Serving sizes" of cereal. I can eat the whole box in one sitting.0

Also frozen meals. Is it just me or do they smell good and then taste so bland?0
