    Chips of any kind. Try to keep them away from my house at all times.

    Cheesecake, cake and amaretto sours. None of these things are ever in my house, thankfully.

    ...and I've been around here long enough to know that I don't want to read the rest of the posts or I'll want all the everything.

    My number one weakness is ice cream.

    For days I felt like I was going to inhale the fridge or at least like I could demolish a pint of ice cream I would eat a pint of Halo Top or Enlightened.

    Halo Top favorites:

    Birthday Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter, & Chocolate Almond Crunch.

    Enlightened favorites:

    Red Velvet, Caramel Oatmeal Cookie Crunch, & Triple Chocolate. Hoping to someday try their Bananas Foster & Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors.

    For times where I don't want to spend a fortune on these two ice creams I buy Edy's Slow Churned & my current favorite is the Pumpkin Patch (90 calories a cup, but I always have at least 3-5 servings depending on calories left for the day).

    Another ice cream that I like when I can moderate it is Turkey Hill's Party Cake.

    Fried chicken has definitely been my recent craving. I want Wingstop, Popeyes, chicken that is friend and delish. Thankfully, Popeyes does a pretty good blackened chicken that is acceptable to my cravings.

    Funny ... just got home from a lunch out (was going to go sailing, but lightning canceled our ambition - out of frustration we stopped in a harborside luncheonette). Instead of fried chicken - my cocaine is fried seafood. A fish-and-chips basket later, I'm toting up my daily macro counts to see I can only eat a cucumber for dinner, LOL! As I was eating the fish, I remembered this question ...

    Cheeseburgers. A really, really good cheeseburger, seasoned and cooked perfectly with a quality bun and the cheese all melted into the bacon and the meat juice dribbling down your wrist ... this is maybe my most favorite thing in the entire world, and once I get a hankerin' for it - watch out.

    Bake some chicken thighs until the skin is really crispy (yes, leave the skin on), spice it up a lot and it will give you the same satisfying crunch that regular fried chicken will give but with less calories and fat.

    Fried chicken, I am now using an air fryer, it satisfies the craving. Use almond flour for the coating.

    Mmmm chicken...

    Weight Watchers has a really good fried chicken imitation that you bake instead of fry and use corn flakes as the crust. I think it ends up being 300-400 cals for an entire breast.
    Here's the info I googled and copy and pasted it:

    Total Time: 45min

    Prep: 15min

    Cook: 30min

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients:

    3 spray(s) cooking spray
    1 pound(s) uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s), four 4-oz pieces
    1/2 tsp table salt, divided, or to taste
    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, divided, or to taste
    1/3 cup(s) all-purpose flour
    3 oz low-fat buttermilk
    1/2 cup(s) cornflake crumbs
    Instructions
    Preheat oven to 375ºF. Lightly coat an 13- X 8- X 2-inch baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.

    Season chicken with salt and cayenne pepper to taste; set aside.

    Combine flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper together in a medium-size bowl. Place buttermilk and cornflakes crumbs in 2 separate shallow bowls.

    Dredge chicken in flour mixture and evenly coat both sides. Next, dip chicken into buttermilk and turn to coat both sides. Last, dredge chicken in cornflake crumbs and turn to coat both sides.

    Place coated chicken breasts in prepared baking dish. Bake until chicken is tender and no longer pink in center, about 25 to 30 minutes (there is no need to flip the chicken during baking). Yields 1 chicken breast per serving.

    Fried Chicken In The 18th Century?
    From that page with the Video
    You are in for a treat today! This fried chicken recipe comes from Nathan Bailey's 1736 cookbook, "Dictionarium Domesticum." This recipe calls for a marinade that is sure to surprise you. The tartness of the marinade contrasted to the sweetness of the batter really sets this dish off. We highly recommend you try this!

    Thanks for the Tip regarding the Banquet Chicken.
    Roger

    This is a great youtube channel! I've made some of the dishes discussed, modern-style (I'm not a historical re-creater), but appreciate keeping some of the traditional things alive. Not all of these dishes, are, shall we say, "dietetic"? (LOL)

    Hi
    So many tasty foods are not Diet or Dietetic oriented.

    Cheers
    Roger

    Ice cream. So bad.
    It's so hot in my office and I only had ice cream once so far this summer. But if I buy it I will eat more than I should. And if I get a scoop at the gelateria I will crave more tomorrow anyway.

    Never thought I had a 'weakness' per say, but Ice-cream 110%

    McVities Chocolate Digestives.

    I can eat a whole pack in a day (and have done before dieting!)

    I now try to have only two as a treat, but it means the pack is sitting there in the house opened and calling me...
