eye broccoli 

This expression was first used on How I Met Your Mother by Barney to describe Marshall's secretary. It is a variation on the classic eye candy expression and since broccoli is one the most unfavorable and unliked foods it is the antithesis of candy, therefore a hot babe would be eye candy while a very ugly or fat girl would be eye broccoli.
