Jiffy corn muffin. What an absolute waste of 170 calories.
And besides, it didn’t even taste of cornmeal. It was like a sugary yellow cupcake. Even my cupcakes aren’t that sweet.1 -

I used to make a casserole from cornbread mix, eggs, milk, canned corn, canned creamed corn, and french onion sour cream dip (or sour cream plus the dry french onion soup mix). Sooo good. Worth the calories.4 -

Oh wow. Sounds interesting with the french onion dip! where's the recipe from?0 -
Cheap chocolate.
Or really any mass-produced factory candy bar. I'll pop a few mini-Twix or mini-Kit Kats when presented with the opportunity...but full-sized versions of these things...nope, not at all worth the calories.
I'd rather have a smaller amount of super-dark, high quality chocolate instead.5 -

I don't remember for sure where I got it from (it was 25 or 30 years ago, I think).
But this recipe looks like it (except I don't remember it having cheese, but how can cheese be bad in a casserole?):

This seems more like what I remember, without the cheese:

Edited because I screwed up the linking on the second recipe.

Yep! had a couple reeses the other day and it just didn't hit right0 -
For me i can do pretty well with anything, as long as i maintain the deficit. Generally i avoid any processed carbs (e white pasta, rice etc) and processed sugar (anything with processed sugar really). I do fine with fruits (even i eat t0o many, they are a bit high in sugar and calories, but i do with them). Veggies are always good for me, any kind; nuts seeds legumes are all good; even whole grain carbs. So foods not worth the calories for me is any white carbs and foods with sugar added.0

Don't kick the shrimp's tail. God put it there as a handle for when you're eating them.5 -

What!? Not chicken fingers, boneless wings or nuggets? Chicken nuggets are worth it for me, the ones that are like 50 cal per nugget.1 -

White hot chocolate anyone?

Have you tried Halo chocolate? it's pretty expensive, but if you're not spending on other treats is definitely worth it!0
