Is it bad to eat baby food?

It's going to make it harder to pick up guys at the grocery store.

HAHA or would it?


I wouldn't overdue it.. your body will still crave texture and crunchies. Try one and see!

Don't some of the star's do some crazy "baby food diet" and everyone was saying how bad it was????

Anyway I would say baby food is perfectly healthy. If it weren't, babies would suffer and there wouldn't be a market for it. However, I would think that this is still a processed food and they tend to have a lot of sugar, salt, preservatives, and flavor additives personally I never bought pre-made baby for for any of my kids you can't beat the real thing. Also remember adults need other nutrients not found in the right proportions in babyfood.

It probably won't do your physical health any harm but your mental health might take a bit of a beating... it's BABY food, of which you are not! It doesn't have the nutrients that you need to keep yourself healthy, plus... it's BABY food!

It wouldn't be sustainable, not really and not in the long run. If you're after a quick fix then it won't do any harm, but you should probably try something that you can see yourself doing for the rest of your life, there are plenty of healthy, low-cal alternatives that you can eat without having to open a jar with a baby on the front.

I eat the Gerber's Yogurt Bites ALL the time. (Pretty much freeze-dried yogurt droplets) And I eat the banana baby cereal puffs too. I like them. Sometimes I buy baby food applesauce or... banana sauce. I've been thinking of trying the toddler pasta meals and stuff, but I bet they are bland. I'll just stick with a mini can of Chef Boyardee. :P

Nothing wrong with eating some baby food though. Lol. I even have a MFP friend who eats the toddler sausages... Kinda like vienna weiners, but a ton less calories and fat.

I eat my daughter's YoBaby organic yogurt all the time. The blueberry one is delicious and only 100 cal! That being said, the main problem with eating the toddler meals I think is that if it does work for weight loss, it isn't necessarily sustainable. D you want to eat them for the rest of your life? And the same goes for any prepackaged meals. The best thing to do is to learn to make delicious healthy meals. Otherwise you're venturing into fad diet type habits.

You see, I don't think the OP was talking about eating ONLY baby/toddler foods. Of course it's not sustainable to restrict only to prepackaged meals, but it's okay to have a "baby lean cuisine" every now and then. :P

My kids think they are disgusting and won't eat them (their nana tried, I refuse to buy them)....but enjoy!

it might look good...but it's very bland.

I was at the grocery store and I found these Gerber "Graduates for Preschoolers" meals. They have pasta with meat sauce, ravioli, and a bunch of other meals that actually look pretty good. They are really low in calories too for descent sized portions. I bought some to try... but do you think it's a bad idea to eat baby food? I'll still make sure I'm getting enough calories and everything, but they really do look good to me!

I just bought some of the Earth's Best stage 2 and 3 jars. Sodium is between 15 mg to 45 mg per jar. I intend to use them for in between meals. I haven't actually tried them yet so I don't know if it will work for me. I plan to try the preschooler meals later on.

I don't think there's anything wrong with trying it out. Tell us how you liked them.

People, please look at the OP's food diary before encouraging this any more. She is clearly not eating enough, and these "toddler" meals are another way to do just that

I have to agree, 700 calories a day is not healthy.

Baby food is a lot healthier than what a normal adult would eat ,people say they have alot of added sugars and additives. I just ate a gerber turkey rice and veggie meal which is 130 calories and the ingredients in order are water, carrots,sweet potatoes,ground turkey,whole grain brown rice flour, apples, tomatoe puree canola oil, onion powder,ascorbic acid .Yes adults require more calories but with people who have an eating disorder it woudnt matter if you made sure they didnt get the baby food they would find other ways to starve, If you repflaced the baby food with a unhealthy snake you would be better off.
