Cottage cheese here too! I hide it in my protein shakes! Every once in a while I'll try it plain just to make sure I still don't like it:)0

I don't eat foods I don't like. It would be easier to find something you do like with the same nutritional benefits.0

Whole wheat pasta... I usually love most anything that's whole wheat, but there's something about whole wheat pasta that is just awful! Still trying my hardest to eat it, but I can't figure out how to make it in a way that it isn't so horrible...0

I used to hate avocado and peanuts, but I've developed a taste for them. Fish and I do not have such an agreeable relationship yet, but we're getting there.0

Not a d@mn thing!
There are plenty of healthy foods that I enjoy, why eat somethign that's yucky?
For everyone questioning why I would eat something yucky, it's for the protein!!As a long time vegetarian who also does low carb (er, is trying to do low carb, haha), it's tricky to get as much protein as I need. On a typical day I have a whey protein shake for breakfast blended with unsweetened almond milk, natural peanut butter, and half a banana. Then a protein bar for a morning snack, usually an egg and veggie based dish for lunch, Greek yogurt or cottage cheese in the afternoon, and quinoa or rice/beans with lots of veggies for dinner. Sometimes another whey protein shake before bed, depending on how much I exercised that day. I still only come out around 70-80 grams usually, and I don't feel like it's enough for me.
Taking your suggestions for non-squishy vegetarian protein sources other than the ones I mentioned that I'm already eating!
There are lots of other nut butters, why stop with peanut butter? And why not eat nuts themselves?0 -
Plain rolled oats. I eat it every day for breakfast and its soooooooooo boring. I put a few raisins or Craisins in to spice it up.0

I cant think of anything I eat because I feel I ought to...
But then, I love fish, avocado, cottage cheese, natural yoghurt, nuts, nearly all veggies (not keen on beetroot or potato or boring old iceberg lettuce) chicken, good quality wholemeal bread etc0 -

Fill it with fresh or frozen berries! I put berries in every bowl of oatmeal I eat, along with a packet or two of no-calorie sweetener. Yummy!0 -
Definitely celery. It's very low cal, (Some say negative cal) so I eat it! I will bring it in as my lunch sometimes.0

I don't eat anything I hate except if I hate it the first time I try it. I always give foods about 5 or so tries before I decide I really hate it. Sometimes I just need to get used to the texture/taste and I'll start to like it, or at least be indifferent.0

Sweet potatoes0

raw carrots0

I just eat what I like!0

Try adding a bit of sweetener of your choice (I use truvia) and a tsp of good, dark cocoa powder to your oatmeal. It turns it into a delicious treat.
Add a TBSP of nut butter or some fruit? Yeah. Ridiculously good.0 -

Carrots...raw or cooked....Ranch for Raw, pinch o' salt for cooked (used to be gravy but nooooo more, lol)0

Protein shakes- i don't hate all of them , but I'm not really fond of any of them. I do need them to up my protein with the little I do eat, so down they go.0
-
Water but I'm getting used to it. My body also feels better overall after drinking it0
-
I would rather eat smaller amounts and enjoy my food - the only thing I eat that I quite dislike is salad, usually for lunch. I wanna save my calories for an enjoyable evening meal.... thats what keeps me going!!0
-
Nothing! I can't handle foods I hate. I love raw broccoli, celery, cauliflower, etc. I guess since I know they're good for me, it's easier to eat.0
