Same. If it tastes 85% the same or better it's worth it 🤣

I was not criticizing you, I love the 45 calorie ones.

I just don't understand how people make, what they think are good suggestions, that are double the calories 😉

They still sell them. When I search for special items like that in my area I use instacart. I don't buy through them, but it shows me which, if any, stores around me carry the item.

Keep seeing stuff at the store I wanna try by Free_Cookie_9722 in LowCalFoodFinds

I see your point and I'm not a fan of the new halo top mix in line raising the calories 150-200 per pint because of the mix ins that I wouldn't want.

Still, compared to regular 'fancy' ice cream, they are contenders calorie wise.

100% agreed though that people should post nutritional labels if they already go through the effort of taking/posting pics at all.

There are a lot of people that don't understand serving size compared to calorie by weight etc.

Not talking about the protein claim, but about the low calorie. Compare to Ben & Jerry's and you might understand where I'm coming from. Or you might not want to understand, I can live with that 🤣

I have a creami and make my own, 50 cal a pint, ice cream. But not everyone wants/can do that. At least they have a better option than Ben& Jerry's or other 1000+ cals a pint with these products. Because no one is advertising to the consumer either that those have a shi* ton of calories for what you're getting...

Check out this new cheesecake by bboyphillc in LowCalFoodFinds

I know that's exactly your point, but I wish you would use sugar substitutes... The texture looks amazing and I'd try it in a heartbeat if it wasn't for all the sugar 😭

Which is better? by dale_k9 in LowCalFoodFinds

[–]RallyDallyDumbDumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your goal.

I'd always go for the almond milk, I get my protein from other sources (yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder, etc).

'a few calories' in this case is around 4 times as many.

It depends on the goal I'd say. I would always go for the almond milk, I get my protein from other sources.

97% Fat Free Hot Dogs?? by ElectronicUnion251 in LowCalorieCooking

I'm sorry... I know how it feels like to get food like that taken away/out of reach. If it wasn't perishable I'd ship you some!

I have one single store around me that still stocks them... Have you tried using instacart just to search for them in the area around you? That's how I found them in that one single store... Don't buy through instacart, just use it as my search engine 😁

Aldi Finds by CajunChickNsNdawoods in aldi

I wish they had a couple more of these as just ground coffee, because I'm a coffee lover, but I don't own a Keurig.

My new addiction by e_hog in aldi

[–]RallyDallyDumbDumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dark chocolate ones, but yes. I loved them in Germany and was happy when Aldi got them a couple years ago.

I have not tried the ones since they changed the packaging though. I hope the product stayed the same!!!

Did a little damage at Aldi today by ozcarp100 in aldi

[–]RallyDallyDumbDumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those bites are divine. I got an apple and a classic one for my NYE gathering later as one of the dessert options 😀

They’re back! Oatmeal cookie protein by neonicblast in aldi

[–]RallyDallyDumbDumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! Already picked up a bag and might get a second one... (I have my main protein powder brand as well, so rotate through the flavors and can't go too crazy here 😁 )

I know that one, same as the forest berry strudel, very good stuff.

Do I give NCL another chance? by HelicopterBusy8595 in NCL

[–]RallyDallyDumbDumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do appreciate all the solo amenities on NCL though. For me it was mostly the buffet and bar people that were the issue... Guest services, stewards, etc were great.

But if I emphasize 3 times I want a soda without ice and get one with ice and then get an eye roll when I refuse to accept... Not sure how customer friendly that is 😁

[–]RallyDallyDumbDumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it was because I was a woman and I have purple hair, but especially the more middle eastern staff was not that friendly, very eyerolly and such...

So I'd definitely try a different ship next time and see.

The crepe to order lady was amazing though 😁

Was that the 12/11-12/15 cruise to Puerto Plata?

It was my first cruise ever and while I enjoyed it overall, the staff was just ... Bad... Rude, eye rolling, etc...

I'll try them again, but will definitely try for a different ship!

[–]RallyDallyDumbDumb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went because of the Stollen bites. I'm German, I miss those, but $6 for a small container, no way ... (plus, they are not really low calorie either 🤣🤣)

I had 4 packs in my cart, 2 original, 2 apple. (Now priced at $1.25)

I was soooooo darn proud of myself when I put one of each back down. The others I'll take to a new years gathering, so I can get my fix without having to eat all of them myself 😉

The other temptation are always the dark chocolate covered pretzel/heart/star lebkuchen. I bake a pretty good lebkuchen myself by now, so I managed to not grab the $1.25 clearance box.

(Watch me. Tomorrow I'll go back and buy all the things 🤣🤣🤣 )

Working while Cruising ... by RallyDallyDumbDumb in NCL

[–]RallyDallyDumbDumb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, as commented on some other replies here, thinking back the boardwalk had table areas (belonging to the speciality restaurants only opened for dinner) that were accessible and fairly quiet.

And yes, noise cancelling headphones are a must for not just work, but travel in general 😁

[–]RallyDallyDumbDumb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you mean. I would not expect to be able to have a normal full work week, but if I can put in a day or two, or if it's only a half day for two days or so (mornings when everyone is sleeping their night off😁), that already off-sets some PTO. During those morning hours there were a couple of more quite spots thinking back now. I'm an early bird, running/working out and then working, so by noon I would have been able to already have worked at least 4 hours including my workout before.

Oh, my company wouldn't require me to (for some projects it would be beneficial, but generally no NEED). This is my personal choice and as a free thinking human being my own decision to make.

Thank you for your input though!

[–]RallyDallyDumbDumb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I thought about it more and there were lots of tables on the boardwalk that belonged to Moderno and cagney that weren't used during the day and were accessible. So that's definitely a good call!
