What foods have you given up or not eaten in over a year?

As I strive to make healthy, nutritious choices over what I eat, when I do eat something less than "wholesome" I make sure it's something I really, really enjoy. With that in mind, there's quite a few foods I haven't eaten in almost 2 years because I consider them a waste of calories and used to eat them for the sake of it, rather than enjoy them. Here's my list:

Lamb doner kebab
Meat pastry pie
Thick base pizza
Pasta (never did like much, only ate it because the wief did)
Microwave ready meals
Garlic bread
Potato chips (crisps)

List the foods you used to eat, but haven't eaten in over a year

There's literally nothing I don't eat purely because of calories....

But, for fun, here are some things I used to enjoy but don't eat anymore (unless it's eating out and it's an ingredient in a fish) because I just don't crave them specifically, so I don't buy them, or in some cases I don't like them now.

- Butter
- Dairy Milk
- Beef Burgers
- Bacon (pork version)
- Lamb
- Duck
- McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King... almost any fast food place
- Wonder Bread
- non-diet Soda
- Alcohol (been about a year now)
- Fruit Juice

None.

There no food I consider a waste and I don't eat any food every day, eggs come close though

None for me either - at least not due to caloric content.

Alcohol 4 years free
Any meat including seafood for 20 years
Non diet drinks besides milk/milk alternatives
Fast food unless subway port of subs chipotle etc (no fried fast food)
Mac and cheese
Chocolate
Pineapple
Fake meat products with no protein
Coconut and coconut water/milk
Apples, bananas, oranges, grapefruit
Oats
Peanuts/peanut butter
Pizza
Protein bars, protein shakes, workout sups
Bagged salads
Salad dressing
I can’t believe it’s butter spray garbage
Frozen dinners
Kale
Rice cakes
Fiber one products (these wreak me)
Sour candy
Cake


I don’t eat these cause I just don’t like them not calories

Post reported.

Just to clarify, when I said I don't eat certain foods because I consider them to be a waste of calories, what I meant is there are many other things I would rather eat instead (one way or another there's only so much we can eat in a day).

Some interesting findings though; I don't eat much chocolate or McDonalds but can't imagine never eating them again!

Alcohol is one I'd forgotten about. I went from around 1-2 beers a year, to not drinking at all, and I don't miss it one bit.

Believe it or not, this would be just about my EXACT list. I would just extend it to poultry in general (only "meat" I ever eat is fish). I also still drink alcohol.

What have I not eaten in over a year?

Veal (treated too badly)
Lasagna (too lazy to make)
Duck (no good chinese places nearby with sweet & sour almond duck)
Hard to think what else

I don't eat poultry either BUT i've had it within a year ;)

The only thing I didn't add was actually oil.... i don't really buy oil except for the avocado oil spray I got for cooking eggs... but I apply a very very thin film and spread it onto the pan... it's just a non-propellant avo oil container. But that's is... otherwise I don't buy oil.

Same. I haven't used oil for cooking in a long time due to my reflux.

[QUOTE=Strawng;1602701811]Same. I haven't used oil for cooking in a long time due to my reflux.[/QUOTE]

I use literally just enough to things don't stick on my pan... probably 1/8 tsp worth... oil (like you said) just turns my guts.

I guess I just don't think this way. I'll eat anything if I like it and I like variety. I'm not a fan of shellfish, but never have been. I wouldn't have a way of knowing what I haven't eaten in a year.

1/2 lb of very sharp Cheddar on tortilla chips with 2 cans of Herdez Salsa

I know exactly what you mean - I can only have so many calories every day and am pretty selective with them, especially when cutting.

I haven't given up any food 100% because of calories/nutrition - but one thing that I actually love but rarely let myself eat are fruit/sour gummy candy, e.g. sour worms, sour patch kids, gummy worms, etc. I love that chit but it's literally pure sugar and zero protein or anything good so I have it maybe once/twice a year as a treat.

But there's lots of food I don't eat - not because of the calories per say, but because there's other foods I like more and would rather 'spend' the calories on that.

Same here. I bought some special non-stick pans for cooking eggs without oil, and I also use them for frying chicken without oil (I add some lemon juice if it starts to become a bit dry).

But I can't say I haven't bought or used oil in over a year, because I make the crispiest roast potatoes you've ever tasted on Xmas Day, New Year's Day and Easter Sunday.

Yeah, chocolate is my nemesis. I used to eat 500-1000 calories worth every evening at one stage. I still limit myself now and ask people not to buy it me for Easter and Xmas otherwise I would slip back into my old ways.

What I do now though is buy a pack of Reece's peanut butter cups, or some form of chocolate that can be divided up easily. I'll then have a small amount with a cup of coffee before my workout - my rocket fuel lol.

I had to give up tomatoes, they started giving me weird rash. which sucks, I used to really like tomatoes.

Haha!

I gave up Coca Cola if that counts

I don't drink regular pop.
I don't eat any candy (chocolate, gummies. Whatever).
Kid has peanut allergies so no peanut butter ever.
I hardly eat pasta.

Pretty much it. I'll dabble in anything else.

I eat everything...lol

This.


(Except for cilantro and oysters because they're fuçking nasty).

The only food I never eat is bananas because I hate the smell and taste. That said, there's a pretty big list of foods I rarely eat because they're not worth the calories to me, including:

Most kinds of candy
Donuts
Non-diet soda
Pork crackling
Cheap chocolate
Cheap pastries, meat pies etc
Crisps/potato chips
Sugary breakfast cereals
