Yeah, they taste good and keep me sated for less calories than cereal would take. I see no need to further remove the remaining foods that bring me joy. I've lost 75 pounds so far just making trade offs to stay full with less calories and fats and protein seem to work best for that.
Fat and protein are also much more nutritious. Calories are not equal and making these trades while maintaining joy is good logic. My partner’s mantra for unhealthy food is “is this worth getting fat from?”. Which basically just means you end up eating better because it turns out the least healthy stuff is not actually bringing you joy anyway.
