I'd certainly think so! After all, Troi goes through as much chocolate as she does and keeps a svelte physique. It seems like a logical progression that computer-generated food would be able to be managed down to the microns to be anything you want it to be.

That's exactly the example I was going to bring up for the opposite point.

Troi complains that the chocolate doesn't taste right, because it's nutritionally balanced &c.

So it seems that just like in the real world, you have to choose one of the other - 'lite' or 'tastes right', not both.

DA Yeah there are multiple references to the replicator not always getting things exactly right (and the nutrition being part of that), and some crew even like to get their hands on the real thing if they can.

I don't think it's something they find excessively bothersome, since they use the replicators all the time. I don't even know that we could say for sure how it would taste, like I try to imagine diet food but I would hope the replicators would be a little more advanced and could get close to the real thing, just not exact.

Oh my goodness, I already thought it'd be great to be some kind of quality control/alien food expert in Ten Forward (so many ambassadorial missions, there has to be at least one person, right? And you'd have to try some crazy new foods and/or basically hang out with alien celebrity chefs, c'mon!), but the thought of smuggling in rare indulgences is also stupid fun. I was never the biggest fan of Troi but she would probably be the most fun character to eat a really decadent dessert with in secret.

I seem to remember someone (Troi, possibly) asking for a dish that the replicator wouldn't serve because that person needed to slim down/cut back a little. So the replicators may be managing your diet for you, in cooperation with the doctor ;)
