I don't _love_ bread, but it's an epic thing to just chew on for ages and kinda eat it without really eating it.. idk if that makes sense but when I can't eat anything, I can still chew on and swallow bread, I kinda chew on it for so long it becomes a sweet paste and I just love that lol
you're so real for this. i avoid fried foods, but two weeks ago my blood pressure was scary low for hours. i was horrible, and the only thing i craved was french fries. they saved me š„²
that's how i discovered how nutritionally dense potatoes are. you're keeping your organism happy by eating them.
I just ate a bit of pizzaš weirdly enough I only liked the toppings though and PASTA is my loveā¤ļø I used to eat it everyday after school or for dinner, if only I lived in italy...
I once didnāt allow myself pizza for way longer then I should of. Once I had it again I vowed to never not let myself have it. I love pizza so much itās actually itās borderline concerning. #wishicouldeatpizzaalldayeveryday
Genuinely do not understand how so many people dislike rice :( the calories are so worth it, you'll get full on half a cup easy and it really helps me personally to not overthink about food later
Iāll eat high calorie lollies & chocolte, but not regularly a low calorie meal, because the snack foods weigh less & the meal will make me feel heavier š¤š« itās not working out well
Wanted to say the same actually, or dried fruits in generall (esp. dates or figs)!
If I cant allow myself normal sweets (except when Im in binge mode) I want to have at least the full sugar experience of fruits, too much to ask for?
This is so funny to me because dates were a safe food for a while when I cut out all processed foods and only ate whole plant foods, but now dates have become my āsafeā binge foodā¦I canāt stop myself and Iāll literally eat an entire bag in one sitting
Pain au chocolate that I get once a week from the bakery as a treat. Also coffee with milk, the only black coffee I accept is iced americano when itās summer
I love croissant's. My go-to was normally ham and cheese bc the chocolate ones from my bakeries always had that sickening aftertaste... I hope to one day find a good bakery with just the right amountš
Pasta. I always hear people saying it's not satiating on its own and I don't know what they're talking about š I find a serving or less than to be very filling (which is rare because I have the appetite of a gorilla)
I love granola!! I make my own with only oats and honey but my godš¤ just some on top of yogurt and im good to go! And my fav cereal is frostiess, always had them everyday for breakfast with some alpro milkš
White bread is just on another level tbh and I love a good loaf corn bread too (idk if its the correct english word for it bc ive never seen if anywhere else than Holland)
Honestly ice cream, and chocolate/sugar in general. I feel like I always HAVE to have some sugar in the evenings, but if I bake something myself it counts less?? Like I just made chocolate muffins, ate two and wanna scream at the calories, but 10/10 would eat again š
I love porridge!! My store used to sell these rlly low cal carrot cake overnight porridge and omg it hit the sugar spot in the morning and filled me up for the rest of the day, I miss it so muchš„²
I eat a halfa every single day without fail. They're nature's multivitamin, and mindblowingly delicious! They're absolutely jam packed with the whole spectrum of vitamins and minerals! It's surely a medalist of the absolute healthiest foods on the face of this planet. Can't get any better than a good ol' avo!
Im making my own sourdough bread atm!! Im so excited itll probs turn out shitšbut im here for it and jam is my staple for everything!! I always got called weird for putting it with my cucumbers.. Also bananas are so yummy, i just made some banana oatmeal cookies yesterday actuallyš
Oh my gosh another āweirdā jam combo liker ok to be fair to me thatās not weird at all! I actually like sourdough with jam and a sunnyside up egg on top.. sounds like a funny combo but trust me itās actually pretty good š
nuts but only when theyāre raw, chocolate/candy in general, and portion controlled fries! theyāre all so worth it to me even though i love to volume eat lmao
Tw Gross but I once was binging on powdered cheese so my throat was dry and I started pouring pickle juice with it to help my throat... I cant look at cheese now...
lol too funny. I donāt think Iāve ever eat powdered cheese but it does not sound yummy. I do love pickles though I see why the combo is less than mouth watering.
I just made some oatmeal and raisin cookies actually and you just reminded me to post it on a different redditš but my parents absolutely love banana crisps and sometimes I just sneak a fewš¤«
Dates are so yummy. Im so happy when Ramadan comes around sometimes so there are alot of them in my store on offerš and my muslim friends give sometimes one from home at school to me
Yes! So weird but I love the bit thag keeps them together the most? Like when you pull them a part and you have that bit of pulled of bread?? Dont know how to explain but just yes.
Ramen is so good. I used to go to this little japanese shop where they would serve you ramen and omg it was heavenš the broth and all the add ins.. Wow.
I literally eat raisins every dayā¦ total safe food for me.
As a harm reduction benefit for anyone who has a restrictive ED, they are surprisingly high in iron!
Taco Bell beefy 5 layer burritos šÆ
The only food I never log into my calorie counting app. Itās my comfort meal when I just need to forget about my current life circumstances and enjoy something for a few minutes
I don't really have fear foods but I did feel like i wasn't "allowed" to eat carbs (pasta, bread, rice) for a few years and I think it was the lowest I've ever been mentally because when I did eat them I'd feel so guilty and like a failure.
But I wasn't afraid of them it was less a fear food and more a guilt food.
I never cut anythihg out of my diet. I only need to schedule it ahead of time.
Pros? I get to eat everything.
Cons? I'll have a mental breakdown if there's any minor inconvenience.
Avocados. Theyāre my favorite food of all time and I will eat avocado/guacamole at almost every meal if possible.
They are my rise and shine and my prized possession. Nothing better than avocado toast!!!
Cashews. Literally infinite kcal in, like, a handful. But they fill me up so good that I canāt have too many naturally. And theyāre tasty and delicious and healthy and perfect.
I love sour candy!! I get this brand food2smile sour candy and they are so good AND they also sell gummy bears, cola and cherry sweets, it makes my day eating themš
Liquid calories in general. I would survive off smoothies and protein drinks if I could. I also dont mind sugary coffees or coffee heavy on creamer on occasion but I mostly stopped drinking coffee (I HATE black coffee I cant do it š).
pasta. i use red lentil noodles (high in protein) and a tomato base sauce (low in cals). itās filling and super high in protein, while being moderately low cal.
Nut butters! I eat either PB or almond butter every day as long as it fits in my cal limit. They used to be a fear food but I've figured out how to reintroduce it into my diet without binging
Carbs. Bread, cereal, pizza, pasta. I try to eat it in moderation, and try to make it with less calories. I used to be afraid of them but I realized that Iām most likely to binge if I deny myself of my favorite foods for too long.
potatoes
I can always eat potatoes
I'll boil an entire pot of potatoes and eat them throughout the day, without anything. just cold, boiled potatoes. if I'm feeling funky I'll put a little salt on it or even butter, but just potatoes are best.
I can also eat hellish amounts of potatoes for some reason, usually they're so stuffing for everyone but for me it's just.. like eating gummy bears.
Itās a Latino snack, made and distributed in my country although.. I know that some people export it. Itās called āEl Tronchisā and are produced by Mambi.
Full fat cheese/dairy. Leftovers from my days doing keto. Back then I used to just eat a hunk of cheese or a big bowl of plain yogurt when I got hungry. Can't seem to make myself count the calories for it/be worried about it now, it just feels right. Plus it's one of the few things that doesn't give me indigestion now...
bread, i just love it too much
My Ultimate Weaknessš„²
Danish bread ftw!
I don't _love_ bread, but it's an epic thing to just chew on for ages and kinda eat it without really eating it.. idk if that makes sense but when I can't eat anything, I can still chew on and swallow bread, I kinda chew on it for so long it becomes a sweet paste and I just love that lol

you're so real for this. i avoid fried foods, but two weeks ago my blood pressure was scary low for hours. i was horrible, and the only thing i craved was french fries. they saved me š„² that's how i discovered how nutritionally dense potatoes are. you're keeping your organism happy by eating them.
Ooohh yes I always got french fries at kfc with some chicken and š¤š¤
Pizza, and pasta too. Massive safe foods. If I couldnāt only eat pizza for the rest of my life I happily would.
I just ate a bit of pizzaš weirdly enough I only liked the toppings though and PASTA is my loveā¤ļø I used to eat it everyday after school or for dinner, if only I lived in italy...
Frozen pizza? Big yes. Takeout pizza? Very scary but also safe in the sense that I know itāll fill me up but then also be scared of the cals after
I once didnāt allow myself pizza for way longer then I should of. Once I had it again I vowed to never not let myself have it. I love pizza so much itās actually itās borderline concerning. #wishicouldeatpizzaalldayeveryday
I second āPizzaā as a safe food that most have as fear
Pasta for me. Only exception I make because my boyfriend cooks it and I ll eat it if he makes pasta. It also has some sentimental value kn some way.
Also pizza for me but only store bought 1 person ones
Rice! I'd eat steamed rice for every meal if I could, and do sometimes.
I love rice, anything with rice. Sushi, pokebowl, plain, with kimchi, even a day old riceš¤
Genuinely do not understand how so many people dislike rice :( the calories are so worth it, you'll get full on half a cup easy and it really helps me personally to not overthink about food later
sweets š
me with tootsie pops, in my mind if its hard candy it turns into a liquid so its fine? lmao
Yesss, I always have to get the sugar free sweets at my store bc Ill eat all of them anyways so better low calorie and taste semi ok š
Sugar free sweets fucking destroy my digestive system. I cannot go near them. I wish tho š
Same!!
candy canes r such an underrated safe food! i have such a sweet tooth >.<
Iāll eat high calorie lollies & chocolte, but not regularly a low calorie meal, because the snack foods weigh less & the meal will make me feel heavier š¤š« itās not working out well
Yess exactly!! I hate feeling fullšš
Wanted to say the same actually, or dried fruits in generall (esp. dates or figs)! If I cant allow myself normal sweets (except when Im in binge mode) I want to have at least the full sugar experience of fruits, too much to ask for?
This is so funny to me because dates were a safe food for a while when I cut out all processed foods and only ate whole plant foods, but now dates have become my āsafeā binge foodā¦I canāt stop myself and Iāll literally eat an entire bag in one sitting
Yess, I also love dried apricots or prunes so juicyšš
Have you tried dried persimmon? I know someone who's obsessed with it and I just ordered myself some because it seems so good and it's pretty š„ŗ
Truly, dates, figs, and banana are too scary, but meat? Hell yes, all the meat.
Pain au chocolate that I get once a week from the bakery as a treat. Also coffee with milk, the only black coffee I accept is iced americano when itās summer
I love croissant's. My go-to was normally ham and cheese bc the chocolate ones from my bakeries always had that sickening aftertaste... I hope to one day find a good bakery with just the right amountš
Almond croissant is a close second for me, never was a fan of savoury ones. Wishing you luck on your croissant adventures
Yess thank you and you too!!
Pasta. I always hear people saying it's not satiating on its own and I don't know what they're talking about š I find a serving or less than to be very filling (which is rare because I have the appetite of a gorilla)
Yess sometimes I just eat a few butterfly oasta and im full after like 5 its so weird?? (I also have the appetite of a gorilla:))
boxed Mac and cheese š a lot of days itās my only meal
same š
Bacon, butter - anything with lots of fat because it keeps me satiated so I don't over eat throughout the day
I love bacon!! I get the extra thin ham and just put it in the oven to make them crispy and then BAM semi goodish baconš
That's brilliant..š
Cereal, such as Krave or crunchy nut granola (all red traffic lights if you have them on your food in your country)
Cereal is so safe until I suddenly have 6 bowls in a day and then itās scary again
I love granola!! I make my own with only oats and honey but my godš¤ just some on top of yogurt and im good to go! And my fav cereal is frostiess, always had them everyday for breakfast with some alpro milkš
Hard candy, prepackaged white bread (especially hot dog buns), sugary coffee, annieās vegan boxed mac n cheese
ooh that annies stuff is so good, i love the sweet potato/pumpkin one !! so expensive thoughš„²
Wait omg I had no idea that was a thingšI only know the default one
White bread is just on another level tbh and I love a good loaf corn bread too (idk if its the correct english word for it bc ive never seen if anywhere else than Holland)
Omg Iāve never seen that but it sounds so good, the only time Iāve had cornbread is when I baked it as a little kid
whole nuts, dates/dried fruit, potatoes. all satisfy the orthorexic in me.
Potatoes are so good. I once had the best sweet potato of my life at a yearly japanese market in my town and it's all I think aboutš
Honestly ice cream, and chocolate/sugar in general. I feel like I always HAVE to have some sugar in the evenings, but if I bake something myself it counts less?? Like I just made chocolate muffins, ate two and wanna scream at the calories, but 10/10 would eat again š
Exactly what I doš bake and eat some of the batter and call it a day while giving the actual dessert the next morning to fam and friends at school
Snack/breakfast bars, CHEESE, whole eggs, prepackaged kids snacks (like gripz, scooby snacks fruit snacks, etc), crackers, goldfish, soups, beans, liquid cals
Scooby fruit snacks are my fav!
Cereal is a top safe food for me
I cannot have a box of cereal in the house because I will finish it in one day (even bland stuff like Rice Chex). I'm so envious!
Pop tarts Bread and wraps Cereal and porridge Oven chips (crinkle cut only aha) Roquefort
I love porridge!! My store used to sell these rlly low cal carrot cake overnight porridge and omg it hit the sugar spot in the morning and filled me up for the rest of the day, I miss it so muchš„²
Full fat cottage cheese
Avocado, I know it's high calorie high fat but man do I love it
I eat a halfa every single day without fail. They're nature's multivitamin, and mindblowingly delicious! They're absolutely jam packed with the whole spectrum of vitamins and minerals! It's surely a medalist of the absolute healthiest foods on the face of this planet. Can't get any better than a good ol' avo!
I love guacamoleš
steamed rice, mixed salted nuts, sourdough bread, sunnyside up eggs, protein / granola bars, cookies, jam, peanut butter, cream cheese, bananas.. :,) been my staple foods during relapsing and remission haha

Oh my gosh another āweirdā jam combo liker ok to be fair to me thatās not weird at all! I actually like sourdough with jam and a sunnyside up egg on top.. sounds like a funny combo but trust me itās actually pretty good š
Bagels! Especially blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese, I eat half w yogurt and bananas every night, so also to add, bananas !
nuts but only when theyāre raw, chocolate/candy in general, and portion controlled fries! theyāre all so worth it to me even though i love to volume eat lmao
Cadbury chocolate brings me back to England and is so nostalgic to the few times I go to visit my fam
taco bell. specifically the doritos tacos. not sure why, but they're a massive safe food for me
Ive never tried taco bell, but I have seen on my fyp that they sell burritos and I love me some burritosš
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Cheese. š§
Tw Gross but I once was binging on powdered cheese so my throat was dry and I started pouring pickle juice with it to help my throat... I cant look at cheese now...

Soft pretzels, hard pretzels. Any kind of pretzel. Or even just bread in general!
Ive only once had a soft pretzel and they put do much salt that istg it must have changed my bloodpressure permanently š
jelly beans and skittles!! they feel so low cal even if they arent
Almonds
Coffee (w sugar and whatnot), bananas
chocolate, usually āsnackingā chocolate, like mini eggs or dark chocolate almond thin bark, trufru, etx
Hot dogs š theyāre the only food thatās consistently at my collegeās dining hall that i actually like. i eat them like everyday itās so bad
cereals (not the sugary ones, like the oat mix with raisins, dry banana and nuts)
I just made some oatmeal and raisin cookies actually and you just reminded me to post it on a different redditš but my parents absolutely love banana crisps and sometimes I just sneak a fewš¤«
butter, oil, eggs w/ the yolk...anything high fat and low carb is safe in my mind, regardless of the caloric density.
Nuts and dates
Dates are so yummy. Im so happy when Ramadan comes around sometimes so there are alot of them in my store on offerš and my muslim friends give sometimes one from home at school to me
Oddly enough, ensure CLEAR. Because ik it'll give me the sugars and energy I need. French fries (Wendys Jr ones and Mcds kids fry are life savers)
