Low Calorie options that were disappointing

This one is a backwards - but i only bought low fat greek yogurt. It was fine as it was all I know. Then I bought full fat greek yogurt (with "real milk") and wow! Discovered what I had been missing. I know tend to get that instead. I get plain and dress it up as I prefer (usually a wee bit of maple sirop).100 cal “snack packs” that are basically one cookie.
I can eat one cookie on my own without all the extra packaging
With that said, I also have a strong distaste for artificial sweeteners. Yogurts, diet soda, and the like
Haha, I love the 100 calorie snack pack of cheetos. it's a staple. i CANNOT be trusted to measure out 100 calories worth froma large bag (well some days i can, others not. takes more work to open two bags). I try to limit my garbage in other ways4 -
I accidentally bought low fat cottage cheese the other day. Oh yuck.
If you think that's bad, try the nonfat - really yuck. I usually buy the 1% - definitely no where near as tasty as 4% (but I tend to over-eat the tastier 4%). 2% would be about perfect for me I think (but I don't ever see it).4 -

I still gotta have some butter on my popcorn...for me it's worth the calories.
Agree. The texture is awful.
Mine is--pretty much anything with artificial sweetener. Yuck!
Artificial sweetener is the worst!
Nope. No its not. Not at all.
Maybe not for you, but I certainly do not care for it. Everyone has their own taste preferences.7 -
Halo Top. Not even close to ice cream.13

Sugar free pancake syrup. Something that is made completely of sugar just shouldn't be sugar free, I guess.3

On that same subject, can anyone explain how they make sugar free caramel? I mean, caramel is basically sugar and water boiled together with a little cream (sometimes) for texture... so sugar free caramel???3 -

I was curious so I looked up a couple recipes. They both called for "sukrin" (sugar substitute). Haven't tried it but my expectations would be very low if I did.0 -
I agree - even when I was really into eating a lot of "diet" things and low-fat items, I still found low-fat cottage cheese to be disgusting. It's hard to describe the taste and mouth-feel, but it's definitely unappetizing.2 -
Low calorie American beer. What's the point? Might as well drink soda water...lol5

Walden farms dressings! Freaking nasty and expensive.1

Agreed ...1 -
I’m actually okay with a lot of low fat/0 cal things. I actually like skinny syrup, Walden farms, low fat yogurts etc.
The only thing I’m not too fond of pb2.3 -
I like monk fruit and stevia and I do like the black bean brownies stuff like that, I cannot stand the skinny syrups from Starbucks! Anything with Splenda or the like I instantly regret0

That's kind of the point. For me, Bud Lite is a day beer or a "between drinks" beer. It keeps me just buzzed enough without sending me into a blackout. I can drink 6 Buds through out the day. But 6 double IPAs would have me not feeling too good.
I can't do shiritaki noodles. I tried them once and actually threw up. So nasty.

Walden farms peanut butter....
Take a spoonful of salt and a spoonful of dirt and you have a perfect comparison of that product...5 -
