Fat free cheat foods

[harbinator]

What are you guys opinions on things like fat free cheese, fat free chili, fat free saltines etc.. I've been getting the 99% fat free chili with turkey and fat free cheese and just hope Im not missing anything because it tastes so good.

I was amazed reading the back of the fat free cheese package, 0f 2c 8p, hell thats about as good as fat free cottage cheese.

Just watch some of the FF stuff you get as sometimes the FF stuff has more sugar than low fat or full fat items. Sometimes they also taste horrible.....

The cheese, chili and saltines have very little sugar, under 3g. So does this mean its ok? Wow I didnt think food this good tasting could be this good for me

As long as it's in moderation you may be ok. Remember - just cuz they are FF doesn't give you a license to eat with abandon.

That said - there are better carb sources than saltines. Try Whole Wheat crackers instead. Chili is great on top of WW Triscuits.

It depends, how much do you care about processed foods? Fat free products are usually the worst concerning that. FF Cheese is probably half plastic.

My thoughts too...at all cost, I try to steer clear of processed foods. Sometimes the FF, sugar free, salt free, etc are just as bad for ya.
