I have never had Nutella before last saturday, but I have been wanting to try it. So...I did. The cafe in our Barnes & Noble store had this nutella to go packet, so I figured I'd try it. It was SOOO good!

Later that day I went and bought a jar. It's not that much worse than peanut butter since skippy is 190 cals for 2 tbsp and nutella is 200 cals for 2 tbsp, but still soo good!

I think I am in trouble now! Trying to find ways to include it in my food without going over... lol

    That's exactly why I will never try it. I'm better off not knowing what I'm missing.

    Back away from the nutella. Just . . . slowly . . . back away. There's no way I could have that in my house.

    Exactly what I was going to say! 1 Tbsp and a gala apple will run you about 150 cals which is awesome and you get a little extra Nutella left over to savor! :happy:

    You can also try it with bananas, but I think the banana sort of overpowers the Nutella. It's really good on whole wheat toast too! Tastes like a pastry.

    yeah, I can't buy it. I'll stand at the open cabinet with a spoon. It doesn't last a night.

    Haha... this makes me laugh, because I did the same thing! I bought it not realizing it was going to be THAT good! I made my husband take it to work, because there is NO WAY I could just let that sit in the fridge or stop at 2 TBS!!

    I spread a tbsp on a slice of whole grain bread, top with sliced strawberries and roasted oats. Great dessert treat when I'm under my calories at the end of the day.

    Absolutely! Back Away, turn around & run as fast as you can!!!

    A matter of fact, I believe a jar of nutella a week ago was what spurred me to get back on MFP and start calorie watching. I can't keep it in the house because a spoon is always in it. It's like crack.

    In Italy Nutella is vitamin fortified! My husband thought he was crazy when he came back from a trip and it wasn't here. I found some in an Italian grocery and indeed it was! He was so glad he hadn't lost it! Ha ha! Anyhow, um...maybe a little on crackers. Or just as a treat?

    RUN!! THAT STUFF WILL TRIP YOU UP! If any part of you tends to binge eat or emotionally eat, finishing a whole container at one time is too easy. ...and forget about it if you have any degree of PMS. That stuff should have a warning label!
