Calorie rip off

What food do you eat but you feel like it's a rip off for the calories?
For me it's real mayo. Helmans olive oil mayonnaise. 100 calories for 1 tbsp. Second would be gluten free macaroni. I have celiac disease so regular pasta isn't an option but I was making tuna noodle casserole and it was seriously about 20 macaroni noodles for 310 calories. Ended up making it out of spaghetti squash.

Beans/legumes so healthy but high calorie. I feel I'm getting jipped. Nuts same.2

Plain avocado. Love guacamole, but the plain avocado is meh3

Cheese. Lower calorie cheeses taste gross.
Regular cheese is about 100 kcals a slice.3 -
I am initially disappointed by nuts, but they end up being absurdly filling for their small volume. So long as I weigh out and eat an ounce or two, they never let me down (especially walnuts). If I do something dumb like sit down with a whole can though, bad things can happen.3

Hostess Fruit pies and PopTarts. They're delicious, but not 400 calories delicious! Criminy...2

Earlier this week, one of my MFP pals posted, "There should be a refund on calories for things that didn't taste as good as you expected." Not getting a refund for a meal you didn't like is a rip off in my book, so I'm going with that.17

Gluten free EVERYTHING. Who would have thought that taken gluten out would add so many calories! And while we are on the subject, who would have guessed that gluten is so delicious!2

There are some diet mayos out there ranging from 35-50 calories per Tbsp. I use one of those for chicken/tuna/salmon/tilapia/egg salads (which I eat a lot).1

I pretty much only buy it when I'm going mountaineering or backpacking - usually a pack of little single serve tubs (perfect for dipping protein bars in and stuffing oneself on the way up the mountain)... Otherwise, yeah - way too many calories to be worth it for me.0 -

Yes.. I forgot ice cream. A single serve sundae or gelato from the quickie mart after a long run is often worth it though.1
