OT: Your food nemesis's's's's??

[firerescuefin]

Trying to shed a few lbs as I sit here with Fritos Scoops, homemade Salsa and a light beer.

Mine:

Chips and Salsa
Peanutbutter (crunchy)...by the spoonfull
Dark Chocolate

....and you.

[tuxbailey]

ice cream
chocolate

[4Rings6Stars]

Potato chips and red meat.

I don't have a problem though. I can stop any time...I swear.

[akelman]

Fresh bread. Especially sourdough. Also challah. And it's tough to stop eating chips and salsa.

[Peter B]

When it comes to losing weight my nemeses are red wine and IPA.

[onsight512]

single malt scotch and those jalapeno-flavored cheetos that trader joe's sells.

[learningtoride]

...

[Matt-H]

Salty snacks. And bread. And dark chocolate.

No more chips and the like in the house.
I can control the dark chocolate, so it stays.
Good, fresh bread is still a challenge, but I'm
working on it.

The Hop Rod Rye I just finished I don't see as a problem.

[wc1934]

its all about the pastaaaah

amen brother

[Spin71]

Too many to list.

[benitosan1972]

cheese, bread, beer... tastes great, so i give in
then i try to ride it off the next day, only to return home
to consume them all over again... vicious cycle

i love sugar, salt, caffeine, fat, carbs... so bad, so gooood

[texbike]

My 3 main nemisis are:

-porters/stouts/brown ales
-chips and salsa
-french fries

Mmmmm, good! However, the oreos and chocolate soy milk that I'm downing as I write this can't be much better... :)

ICE CREAM! I probably can eat a gallon a sitting and probably still ask for seconds

[benitosan1972]

ICE CREAM! I probably can eat a gallon a sitting and probably still ask for seconds

but ice cream is a great source of calcium, so it's actually health food :banana:

[killacks]

Tonight... Cheez-Its

[Helicomatic]

Salty. Sweet. Nuts will derail me fast. Cookie dough by the spoonful.

[rustychisel]

food = eat smaller portions. The end.
drink = cut out all beer and soft drinks (soda)

chocolate is good. More chocolate is better.
Chili is good. More chili is better. Thai food is best.

[oliver1850]

Day in, day out it's bread, tortillas, cheese, and beer. A pound of bread in a day is not unusual for me. (I don't eat that much cheese most days.)

I can eat a whole bag of potato(e) chips at a sitting, but I can also go a month without buying any. I love ice cream and could eat it every day, but never buy it.

If I had to do without bread I would have to substitute large quantities of meat.

[akelman]

If I had to do without bread I would have to substitute large quantities of meat.

I've seriously considered starting to eat meat again as a way of weaning myself off the bread. Maybe I should just do it.

[Liv2RideHard]

Beer and nutella. Nutella makes everything so much better.

[Hartlin]

Nutella, ice cream, crunchy peanut butter.

Usually a two scoops of vanilla ice cream, and a scoop of Nutella and peanut butter.

[d_douglas]

Nutella is like icing on toast - gross.

But natural PB and ice cream (not in combination) are two of my weaknesses.

Where is that " Need to lose 20lbs " thread?


I am not a huge person, but damn, I haven't summoned the willpower to lose the 20lbs that would make me 175lb fit person. I will keep working on it...

[cycle_chic]

This thread is making me hungry.

Chocolate. Chocolate. More chocolate.

[thwart]

Nutella is like icing on toastYou mean there's something wrong with that? :confused:

Good dark bread with Nutella. Great way to start the day.

[Hartlin]

Sourdough baguette W/ Nutella.

I once got back from a long ride and refueled on Coke and entire baguette with half a jar of Nutella.

Wife wasn't impressed as the baguette was for dinner.

[benitosan1972]

I've never gotten into Nutella, maybe it's cuz I'm not Euro enough. Can't get into Sparkling water either.
Peanut butter, cheese, or butter on bread for me... Espresso... and of course, Rapha, they should make $50 Nutella? :banana:

[sjbraun]

I can eat a whole bag in no time at all. I control my intake by simply never buying them, except for once or twice (well maybe three or four times) a year.

Then I just pig out completely.

[JayBay]

Ice cream and beer. But you can pry them from my cold, dead hands. I'll keep the extra 10 pounds, thank you very much.

[tiretrax]

Any of the above except Nutella - I'm allergic to hazelnuts, of all things. So, I overindulge in peanuts - a spoonful of peanut butter on sliced apple or banana, a handful of nuts, or shelling a few handfuls at my favorite BBQ restaurant where there's a barrel of them to enjoy while waiting in line. Oh, and well smoked BBQ. Nothing like a good, smoky brisket or rib.

it is not the food it is the over abundance of it
we eat for a lot of reasons not all of them are out of hunger .imho
cheers

[gdw]

Beer, bourbon, homemade bread, and pizza.

[MattTuck]

ice cream, peanut butter, cookies.


Red meat is, in my opinion, not a nemesis... it has actual nutritional benefits. cookies and ice cream DO NOT. Peanut butter is at the margin.

[pedlpwrd]

Anyone that knows me, knows that I can be obsessive about food. My achilies heel is always supper time. I am always bothering my friends (ask Binx about this one lol)
"What are you making for supper" is almost always part of my conversations. I have found that there are a great number of forum members who can really hook a man up with some amazing recipes. (Thanks learningtoride/Nicki)
Italian people are great idea givers. But my biggest downfall in consumption is probably crunchy cheetos. My son brings a bag home and I've had to ask him to please keep it in his room. It's like crack. Damn chester! :bike:

[pedlpwrd]

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention two words...
Garlic Knots.
I have to go eat now.

[fiamme red]

I love fresh hearth-baked bread. My sister is allergic to wheat, and I feel very sorry for her.

[witcombusa]

I like it all (most)


Eat to ride.....ride to eat

[roguedog]

its all about the pastaaaah

+10. I can gain 5lbs in a sitting :D. Just try not to eat it anymore
And chili cheese fries
And fresh baked French bread
and..and..
Can I just say..food? It's faster than a list
Oh. And good red wine..

[bozman]

fried potatoes - fries, taters, chips, hashbrowns - does not matter.

[Karin Kirk]

Entertaining thread! I just ate lunch so I'm in a good position to respond.

For me it's Coke. I know the stuff is horrible for me in so many ways. But it is so satisfying to drink and I know that if I drink a Coke in the afternoon I will be incredibly productive at work. So I limit it to days when work is critical and try to resist the rest of the time. I probably drink less than one a week, so I'm doing OK.

I would like to switch to iced coffee but I have to figure out an easy, homemade way to make iced coffee ahead of time so I don't have to brew it fresh. 'Cause in those cases I would just grab a Coke instead.

I would like to switch to iced coffee but I have to figure out an easy, homemade way to make iced coffee ahead of time so I don't have to brew it fresh. 'Cause in those cases I would just grab a Coke instead.

I've had success making iced coffee at home by simply placing coarsely ground coffee beans into a french press, adding cold/room temp water, and covering it with plastic. Leave it in the fridge for just under 24 hours. Once time is up, plunge the pot and pour the liquid into another pitcher (so the used grounds don't continue to brew). Seal it up and it should be good for a couple days at least.

*The french press is handy because I don't bother to measure the amount of grounds, instead I just fill the empty pitcher with grounds up to the bottom of the handle, then add water. Also, it makes it easy to strain the ground outta the iced coffee for storage/consumption.

[HenryA]

Pie.

With especially buttery and flaky crust.
Parricularly cherry, but almost any flavor with great crust - its the crust.

Especially traveling and finding a little mom and pop bakery in a small town where they make everything themselves.
I will eat good pie.

Not even going to mention good beer (Redhook ESB) and red wine (almost any kind).

[HenryA]

And almost forgot.

Strawberry Rhubarb.

Pie.

[rugbysecondrow]

English muffin, butter, peanut butter...tall glass of creamy whole milk. Unfortunately I love having this snack before bedtime.


I need a snack.

[jchasse]

Potato chips and red meat.

I don't have a problem though. I can stop any time...I swear.

Exactly. And peanut butter.

...and...red wine. Oh, and IPA.

[jchasse]

STUFF THAT MAKES SENSE / ..."cut out all beer".../STUFF THAT MAKES SENSE

Wait? What the...?

[MealsOnWheels]

Home made pizza on my 600 degree pizza stone and a great IPA.

[93legendti]

French fries and hummus.

Perfect, thanks! I will try that next time. I appreciate the suggestion!

[toolman605]

Pizza
pasta
bread
breakfast cereal
bourboun

If I cut those out I'd lose 20lbs like that!

[onsight512]

Home made pizza on my 600 degree pizza stone and a great IPA.

Ah, we are making home made pizzas tonight with some friends. Can't wait!

[stausty]

French fries. And chicken fingers. And generally all of the junk at the work cafeteria.

If I wasn't getting married to a vegan I would be 25 lbs heavier.

[timto]

Potato chips & French Fries & Chocolate.

It's like I have to have these daily. several times a day.
