I’m response to my last post: what’s that one food that you know is good for you or is a lower calorie option that you just refuse to eat?

[chaplain777]

Raw spinach: sautéed with some garlic and soy sauce? Yes absolutely. Raw? I don’t like it, please don’t make me eat it.

Grapefruit: I genuinely don’t know how people like this. It’s so bitter and I can get my vitamin C elsewhere

Plain egg whites: I’ve tried them every which way and I just can’t.

Pretty much any protein powder. I’ve found I like the Ripple and Orgain protein cartons that you can get at the grocery store but i loath every single protein powder I’ve ever tried

ETA: I am Distraught over the typo in the title plz forgive

@chaplain777 How funny. I'm the opposite with spinach. Put in a salad, and I'm all in. The minute it gets warm, it's too slimy for me.

@presbyman Love spinach in a salad but also blended in a smoothie. All the spinach benefits, none of the spinach taste. Win-win.

@presbyman Reminds me of the time I grew climbing Malabar spinach. Straight up turns to green mucus when cooked. It's supposed to be incredibly healthy, but I just couldn't do it.

 

[mutambo]

@presbyman Ah same. The goopy texture puts me off so bad. I like the nice crunch crunch instead.

 

[annieopie]

@presbyman That’s me too! I loathe cooked spinach, it’s just so wet

 

[ace111]

@presbyman Then the spinach is overcooked. Greens are delicate, and just a little over cooking turns them into bitter garbage

@chaplain777 I know whole wheat pasta has more fiber, yadyadyada but give me the white shit.

 

[chaplain777]

@geoffe I feel that way about most grain based foods. Except bread, I fuck with whole wheat bread. Everything else it’s just not worth the almost negligible amount of additional fiber in them

 

[geoffe]

@chaplain777 Exactly lol like let me just take a fiber supplement instead I’m not gonna compromise

 

[lauriestair]

@geoffe You're so real for this

 

[chelsey423]

@chaplain777 I hate low calorie ice creams. I’d rather have a smaller portion of the real thing

 

[chaplain777]

@chelsey423 Dude fuck halo top. I actually don’t understand how people enjoy it.

 

[rueziiz]

@chaplain777 I truly believe people have just been Stockholm Syndromed into believing Halo Top is good because they've been on a diet for so long. I have tried most of the flavors at this point and would recommend none of them.

 

[tanilis]

@rueziiz I love it but I don’t really like ice cream. I have never liked how heavy, sweet, and creamy it is. Halo Top is more palatable for me. But if you love ice cream I totally get how it would be annoying AF

 

[momma5]

@tanilis Saaame! Regular ice cream has never been my jam. I love how icy Halo Top is.

 

[sheshepherd]

@tanilis I’m the exact same, ice cream is usually too sweet for me - halo is brilliant imo

 

[mimibooksia]

@chelsey423 Hard agree. Watered down ice cream is just sad

 

[mutambo]

@chaplain777

1. Kale. No thanks.
2. Non-fat Greek yogurt. I bought this as my first foray into Greek yogurt and liked it. Until I accidentally bought the 2% fat version on my last grocery run. Now I refuse to go back (unless it's vanilla flavored, then can eat the non-fat version).

 

[eveandrews]

@mutambo Yeah this is mine, nonfat dairy is so not worth it. Don’t try the whole milk yogurt because I regret to inform you…it’s delicious.
