So I was at the grocery store the other day and wanted some bagels with cream cheese. I picked out my bagels (everything bagel) then headed for the cream cheese. Well, I decided since I was getting enough fat and calories from the bagel I would choose the less fattening cream cheese. Even though I'm sure most of you think I look pretty good and can eat what I want.................your right. I decided to buy fat free cream cheese. It can't be that different, right? W-O-W. It was disgusting. It got me thinking about low calorie/fat free foods that don't taste different than the regular. Whenever I buy 1/2 the fat or fat free anything Daegan throws a fit. We can't all be tall and thin and eat whatever we want without gaining a pound. No, I'm not talking about myself. First on the list of course is....
Fat Free Cream Cheese
My friend made me some french toast with egg beaters and they weren't very tasty. She agreed with me so I don't feel bad saying so. She has yet to redeem herself.
I have alson tried this oatmel before. Again, how different can it be?
The cream cheese also got me thinking about generic foods. I'm not against buying generics. It saves a lot of money. I don't love Mac & Cheese but I will eat it. It has to be Kraft though. Generic Mac & Cheese is just nasty. And the real stuff is delicious. haha
If you have tried a fat free or generic item that you loved/hated let me know. In the future, just buy the good, fattening cream cheese.

Okay no t quite a fat free food but it is diet. I like Diet Dr.Pepper and Coke Zero vanilla and cherry. Some things that I just can't do that is fat free is sour cream, that is beyond nasty. It doesn't taste any better when you try to use it in dips either.
I agree, fat free or reduced fat foods are usually a waste of money! You buy it try it and after one try you never eat it again or toss it in the garbage. I personally would rather eat the good stuff and be happy and chubby!!! I really don't like being chubby, but unfortunately I wasn't blessed with the skinny genes! I pretty much have to starve myself if I want to be skinny, I could never do it!
OK seriously!!! 3rd time typing this, so if you get it three times, oh well. As I said twice before....
AMEN on the ff cream cheese. Nasty! However, I think you can get away with 1/3 less, depending on what you use it for. FF cheddar cheese has a weird texture, but there are these bagels that are pretty good and for those WW buffs out there, it's 1 pt for the bagel. You can get them at Walmart, oh but wait, you're a Target girl. Oh well.
I am sooo going to redeem myself one of these days. I really do make killer french toast.
I am so there when you redeem yourself - my favorite. Fat Free Mayo is yucky also and your right the weight control oatmeal is just not the same. Love your thoughts Amy.
hey amy, its been along time. You and your husban have good jeans. those kids are soooo adoable.
but i do have to say I do like the 100 cal packs. Im trying to cut the calories. this is a good way. but than i want not just the hole bag but the hole box....lol..
so now im trying portion control.
bye cuz...
As I am doing WW I have had to find some reduced fat and light things I do actually like and one thing I found I can live with is Fat free cool whip, not as good as the real deal but not horrible either...
Ames~
Great advice. I have noever bought any of those (except for the mac and cheese of course. I know now to stay away. Thanks for the tips.
