I would say all of them, especially the cakes and pies.
Maybe start with making the portions smaller and snacking less often, and substitute some of the snacks for healthier sweet things like fruits and berries

The only thing that works best for me when I don’t wanna gain is a ‘clean eating’ diet

I really should eat more fruit but it tends to go off quite quickly. I’ve sometimes had those fruit in a pot but they are much more expensive than fresh fruit.

Bananas and pears are sweet and can last a long time as long as you don’t buy too many at once :slight_smile:

I would say to switch to stuff like those little things of crackers you can buy at Walmart. Where it’s like like a peanut butter or cheese or something In between two crackers. They’re pretty low calorie and a good snack for if you feeling peckish

Dude, all of these are packed full of carbs and calories. They’re all really unhealthy, too. It doesn’t really matter that much which of these you choose to eat. Just try to eat as little of everything as you can.

Honestly? The entire list. Substitute fresh fruit or veggies if you can. I love roasted Brussel sprouts. I buy large bags of them frozen, toss them in olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper and roast them for 45 min at 350F in the oven on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. I keep bowls of them pre-cooked in the fridge. When I need to snack on something hot and salty, those are mostly guilt-free. Nuke a small bowl of them and I’m happy.

I used to hate them before I learned how to cook them properly. Get them brown and crispy on the outside and add a bit of healthy fat to cut the bitterness, and you’ve got something that’s salty, sweet, and just the right amount of bitter. Especially good when roasted with bacon bits and parm cheese as well, but this IS supposed to be about health.

There’s also low calorie ice cream if you like that. I had some and it tasted pretty much like regular ice cream, but with a lot less calories.
