    I am considerably more snobby these days. No more eating subpar food just for the sake of it and enduring the calories. No matter what I eat now the calories have to be justified with taste and quality. A doughnut is a good example. In the past I would eat one if they were available but I never really loved them as I am not much of a sweets person. This rule also eliminates pretty much all fast food which is also not a big loss since I outgrew eating that way quite some time ago.

    I have never been able to deal with artificial sweeteners. They leave a nasty chemical flavor in my mouth. I don't think anyone would use them if they tasted what I taste.

    Hummus, kind of just fell off it and can't find a brand without that stupid butterfly label anymore anyway.

    Hard boiled eggs/egg salad sandwiches. One of the last things I ate before a stomach bug, just the thought turns my stomach.

    I like hummus, but usually I don't even waste time and just eat the damn chick peas. But really just wanted to say damn that's a cute Dog!!! Sheltie?

    For a long while I ate Fage and a baked apple in the morning... then suddenly switched to bacon, asparagus and a poached egg. Before the Fage, it was zucchini pancakes every day... I recently went back to my pancakes and was like “meh...”

    My lunch remains the same base salad, but I’ve switched out the protein from chicken to turkey to ham... the fat from feta to hard boiled eggs to avocado... the carb from apples to black beans to blueberries then back to apples.

    Dinner went from ground turkey casseroles every week to more of a single serve veggie based approach driven by the cheapest veggies at the farmers market that week.

    Interesting to reflect on how much I’ve gone from “omg I love this food and can eat it every day” to “meh, I forgot I even used to eat that regularly” with every meal of the day over multiple types of foods... lol

    So I get the intent of your question, OP. For me, looks like I’ve rotated out foods consciously or unconsciously based on routine changes, calorie allotment (losing or maintaining), habits, cravings, food prices and probably other factors.

    Oats. Ate peanut butter and fruit oats every day for a couple of years but now I just.. don't want it. I'd rather have peanut butter toast every morning and fruit and yoghurt every afternoon.

    At the moment I've gone off Gherkins, I used to love them but lately I'm not keen. I go through phases like this.

    I'd always have a Ryvita cracker with cashew nut butter or I'd have Fage greek yogurt on a regular basis but for whatever reason, I don't care to eat that any more. Do you have cycles where you naturally drop foods and pick up another food instead? I can't say that I've started with another food but I find it odd that I just stopped eating those two things. Perhaps it was something in it that I needed and now I don't anymore. Hmmm.

    I think I vary things enough that they don't really get too old...

    I tend to cycle between oats and beans with my eggs for breakfast, but it's usually one or the other.

    The only thing I don't really consume anymore is regular soda. I have maybe one or two per year.

    The only thing I know of that really changed from then to now is the milk. Prior, and for all my life before, I was a consumer of 2% milk. Upon beginning to use myfitnesspal and reading the community pages for the wisdom of other people, I learned that full-fat dairy was good both from a nutritional health but also from a mental health perspective. Now I buy only whole milk, from which I make kefir. I use both whole and non-fat milk powder in the making of my yogurt, and that's something I never did before.

    Barring very special occasions, I don't get bakery treats anymore. Finding out that a cherry turnover contains 600 calories when my base calories to lose 1/2lb per week before exercise are 1400 generally makes it too high a price for too few nutrients and too little satiety.

    I haven't given up desserts, by any stretch of the imagination. I just decided to only make ones that come in at 200 calories or fewer per serving.

    Desserts...but that's only because I now prefer savoury foods instead. Occasionally I'll have a little bit of dessert but it would have to be really good for me to want it.

    I made kefir a few times. Didn't like it. I was on a kefir, kombucha, buttermilk kick for a bit and gave that up altogether too.

    Peanut butter

    I stopped eating peanut butter because I had to. My stomach would cramp horribly and I've been eating it all my life. I chalk it up to being older, I don't know. I can eat other nut butters, though. I'm afraid to try it again the pain was so bad. I'd sometimes open a jar at work and smell it. It still smells soooo good.

    Mt. Dew. Along with the calories I have saved I have also saved a ton of money. Getting one out of the vending machine at every break and one before work one after work and several on my days off I've saved 100s of dollars and thousands of calories.
