    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Milk shakes, fast food, cookies, brownies and cheese cake? There was a time when these were "everyday things" ?!?!?
    Yah. It seems a long time ago in a lard-filled galaxy far away.

    I'll eat your cauliflower for you. I wanted some so badly this week and all they had at the store were these sad, sad little golf ball sized heads. I was not happy.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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