So with Halloween candy still around and holidays coming up there is candy and munchies everywhere!!! I decided to help ward off cravings for these sweet devils I would find a healthy replacement I can keep at my desk....well i chose dried cranberries and DANG they are hard to resist! I end up eating a 2-3 servings a day so that alone is 300 calories!
Anyone else have a healthy food addiction that is doing them more harm then good??

Nuts in general
I know the fats are good for you, but I always want to keep eating!
But I don't think any "addiction" is healthy, no matter how good the food0 -
Mine are fresh pears. I always put them in the fridge because I love the taste of cold fruit. And after I finsihed one, I could just go to the fridge and eat them all. Too bad they are sorta expensive and a little high in fructose. But I have one every day, sometimes two...0

I don't know is this would really qualify as "healthy" but I'm addicted to Luna bars. Whenever I crave chocolate, I have one of the Nutz Over Chocolate bars. Thank God I discovered the Minis or else those 180 calories were costing me. I try to justify it by saying it's better than a chocolate bar.
I also eat A LOT of grapes. They taste like candy. I can easily eat 2-3 cups a day.0 -
green beans and asparagus. I could literally eat these all day, every day.0

I bought Target's cashew almond cranberry trail mix (in the ginormous container, natch). It's absolutely fabulous! One day, after snarfing them for a good long while, I logged them into MFP, and had pretty much blown my calories for the day!0

Berries - blueberries, blackberries, raspberries.....graze away...0

Asian pears, or apple pears as they are also called. I recently discovered them and have a really hard time not eating more than 2 a day, I could eat like 3 times that much.
Avocados are a big one for me too, I love how creamy rich they are.0 -
HUMMUS AND GREEK YOGURT.... TRAIL MIX....
UGGG. I CAN PRETTY MUCH GO CRAZY ON THESE ALL DAY0 -
I inhale bananas0
-
Houmous, rice cakes and oat cakes...eat at least one of them every day0

^^^ YES. I love Asian pears and I'll mash up an avocado and spread it on toast instead of butter! So delish!0 -

I eat cottage cheese every day. Sometimes with every meal. I love it plain, I love it with things.0

I take Hummus and carrots, grapes, and mini babybell cheese to work with me everyday for snacks, if I'm craving chocolate I eat a Fiber 1 bar chocolate/oats.0

I'm addicted to banana and peanut butter (or better yet Trader Joe's Better Than Peanut Butter), not terribly low cal though. I also love grapes and yogurt!!!0
