    Raw Meal Chocolate Protein powder... Never thought something so expensive could taste quite so terrible.

    This was the first thought I had when I read that ...

    Marmite (too much of a good thing, fine in moderation)
    Fat free cottage cheese is vile (however, full-fat tastes awesome)
    Cabernet sauvignon (highest resveretrol content) is waaay too strong

    Various Walden farm zero kcal dressings (just a bunch of sodium & thickening agents)

    Walden Farms no-calorie peanut butter.. so nasty. :s

    Agreed! Tastes like melted Styrofoam and salt.

    This is the most accurate description I've ever seen.

    Any cottage cheese not made by Knudsen is horrid. What does Knudsen do to curds and whey that others don't?

    I haven't tried many diet foods, so I'm drawing from a small group of items, but I tried Halo Top for the first time a couple of weeks ago and found it inedible. I feel so betrayed, MFP Forum. ;)

    You're not alone. It's on my list of grossest things.

    I tried Halo Top Cookies/Cream and it tasted like chemicals. Maybe other flavors are good, but not that one. I'll stick to a tiny bit of the real thing.

    That was the one for me too! :s
    I'd be curious to try a different flavor someday, but no time soon.
    I'd rather take the calorie hit on a serving of gelato or my fav ice cream brands. <3

    I've never seen that brand where I live. My favorite brand is Friendship 2%. Delicious. How anyone eats that Breakstone's stuff is beyond me.

    Oats, protein cookies, those noodles that are white and thick (they remind me of worms), chocolate coconut yogurt

    Oh and all forms of protein powder, I just can't, no matter how I try.

    Lol, most of this is amateur stuff. The stuff we consumed in the 80's was downright foul. Desiccated liver, powdered aminos you mixed with juice to choke it down, and protein shakes that were really muddy.

    So many things, but I might have to put Quinoa at the top of the list.

    Dung bean noodles.
    It has the word "dung" in it. Cant expect it could be good.

    They're mung (not dung) bean noodles and they're good. You put them in spring rolls and stir-fried stuff like pancit. They don't really taste like anything - they pick up the flavor of whatever you put them in. Just there for texture and filler I think. They are very delicate-looking (but still firm), almost transparent noodles. Try them some time just for fun! :)

    Omg, you've got to try L-arginine & agmatine in dry powder forms (nasty bitter)....comparison wise, they make caffeine anhydrous & green tea taste tolerable

    So what's the nastiest or most disappointing packaged 'diet/health' food you've had?

    for me it was Designer Protein's cookies 'n creme protein powder. I swear, the stuff tastes just like liquefied play-doh

    Oh god there would have to be so many back when I knew nothing about nutrition and my own caloric values and those in the food I would've consumed.. ate some pretty gross stuff back in the day too! :p

    No, they were noodles made out of beans... not that white stuff (which is fine with me).

    Yeah it's mung beans though :p

    I have those soy ones in my pantry right now. They are super high in protein and i wanted to try the other two varieties. But i can only handle them mixed 50/50 or 70/30 with normal spaghetti noodles.

    They go better in stir fries with Asian flavors, or with a peanut sauce (good use for PB2, plus rice vinegar, soy sauce, spices of choice). I like them fine in these contexts, but they're not a substitute for regular spaghetti IMO.

    Obligatory on-topic addition (even though I mentioned it on another thread, it more than applies here): Light beer in general, some worse than others.

    Once you put the word "organic" on it, all dairy tastes nasty. Organic and low fat, total recipe for disgusting.

    Halo Top ice cream, it's just watery and the lemon cake was almost like watery cardboard.

    The worst for me is anything containing stevia... I can't taste anything BUT the stevia flavor.
