Except water, any food that’s hard to live without is a weakness in my “system” and a threat to my wellness.  I will focus on the unhealthy (not only calorie-dense) foods:

• 150 = creamy, cheesy, buttery foods listed in ##binge: can I interleave with low-cal fast@@
• 100 = ice cream defines top of a “composite” scale measuring 1) difficulty and 2) value of abstinence
• 100 = cookies and chocolates … are less addictive than anything creamy
• 70 = nuts esp. peanut — 🙂 luckily not as harmful as as animal fats though a lifelong favorite
• 60 = tuna subway — 🙂 luckily not so easily available
• 20 = white rice is not that unhealthy and not so hard to resist, though a lifelong favorite. If I find a strategy to reduce rice dependency permanently, i would be free of the overall calorie footprint indirectly linked to rice
• 40 = cooked meat is often dangerous with hidden fat and too much processing. Some meats are much lighter but not as easily identifiable as turkey breast without skin. Cooked meat is labor intensive to produce, cook, package, transport … one of the least sustainable foods.
  • In some less developed cities cooked meat can be expensive or hard to find. I may have to cook meat myself — an unwanted dependency
• 30 = cooked flavored potato — 🙂 luckily not so easily available, though a lifelong favorite
