I'm eating rice pilaf, half a bag of salad with BBQ sauce all mixed together, because I forgot my real lunch...as opposed to the pizza I very much deliberated in ordering.
What wierd stuff do you eat from time to time? Thought it'd be a an interesting topic =)

    Sometimes I just have a mug of chicken broth if I am craving chips or something at night, or I will wrap deli meat in lettuce with mustard etc, when I want a sandwhich but am watching my carbs, or don't have enough calories.

    I put veggie hot dogs on my salads.
    Oh, and sometimes I'll heat up half a can of refried beans mixed with salsa and dip raw broccoli in it. Sounds nuts-o, but I actually like it. Sprinkle on a little nutritional yeast and it's even better.

    That's just normal food, though.

    Back in the day when I was into bigger deficits (like, when I was a teenager) I used to sprinkle Crystal Light mix or straight up artificial sweetener onto crushed ice and chew on it. I don't recommend that.

    I've made garlic seasoned ground turkey burger meat (not patties, just ground meat) and then made a turkey cheeseburger salad. Complete with pepper jack cheese, pickles, onion, tomato, ketchup and mustard all on a massive bed of romaine lettuce. The ketchup was more of a garnish and the mustard.... That was almost like the dressing.

    I'd do it again!

    I've cooked ground beef and added salsa, or ketchup and relish, and eaten it like that!

    Mine has not been very great as of late, but certainly in the days that I would do this, I was more on top of my game! :laugh:

    I will come back to this thread as I think of more. I eat weird combinations of foods that entertain others.

    One of my favorites is scrambled eggs on a big salad and put ketchup on as dressing. Yummmm. Sounds gross but one of my favorite things. Brings back memories of being a very broke college student. We didn't haven ramen noodles back then! Lol

    ketchup on salad, btdt. for me it was beans, not eggs on top, though.

    I saw a dish in a restaurant once with grilled chicken in the eggs. Kind of like an omelet. It was called Mother and Child Reunion. Totally made me laugh.

    That's awesome! It's pretty tasty in a wrap and I usually add green onions when I have the time :)

    I'm not above just sitting and eating a packet of smoked salmon. That's not a new habit though..........

    Favorite snack right now-- Sensible Portions veggie sticks with either ketchup & mustard or two tablespoons of low fat salad dressing (Bolthouse Farms chunky blue cheese is super yummy and only 35 calories per two tablespoons--yogurt based dressing). These are delicious combos to my tastebuds--others might think it's kinda weird.

    Weird thing I do with Quest proteins bars--microwave the bar for 20 seconds. The chocolate chip cookie dough variety tastes like a warm, oven fresh cookie! This bar has 190 calories and 20 grams of protein. I also love the s'mores bar--so yummy warmed up!

    Well running late for work (12 hour rotating shifts...ugh!) I have been known to throw all kinds of stuff together to save me from the snack machines!!! Last week I was grabbing cream cheese, black olives and hard boiled eggs! Yummy, btw

    After reading some these, mine aren't too weird :)

    A go to of mine is a can of tuna with some sriracha. Super low cal, maybe throw in some crackers for carbs too.

    The other day I wanted a salad with chicken breast in it, but had no chicken. So, I chopped up some turkey lunch meat and threw it in. It was delicious.

    More like all the time now I have a potato and jalapeno sandwhich. I bake a potato cut it in half and put a tablespoon of diced jalapenos with no calories in it and eat it like a sandwhich.

    I had tinned sardines in tomato sauce on toast for lunch this week. I didn't know that would be considered weird. It is very British.

    I love all these. Is anyone here from the Midwest/familiar with Runzas? It's a fast food joint but instead of burgers they have "runzas" which are buns stuffed with ground beef and cabbage. I like to make the runza filling at home with onions, ground turkey and cabbage and just eat that with ketchup and mustard. My husband thinks it's gross lol.

    Another thing I'll eat is brown rice with a can of tuna, soy sauce and sriracha. Or just a whole bag of frozen veggies.

    I've always eaten them. I just never put a can on a salad before last year.

    I miss Runzas. No mustard though, please.
