    Just ate a bagel with butter, that thing is so not worth all those calories.

    Was it a NY bagel?

    No, panera. An authentic NY bagel or even a bialy, would totally be worth it

    I completely agree! I was like "that couldn't have been a NY bagel because those are heaven on earth!".

    Way too many things. Like trips to the Brazilian Churascurria. Definitely put away around 10k calories easy. Not exaggerating. Surprised my weight was never higher than it topped out at given how I used to eat.

    I work in NYC and my maintenance plan will include a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon every Friday. I already have it mapped out. All other days will be egg whites and/or oatmeal. I wish there was a bagel diet.

    That's a good plan. I miss NYC!

    Yep, you have to plan things when you can. Can you ship me some bagels? ;)

    When I first started living by myself I cooked some experiments. One of my most proud dishes was Bratwurst Alfredo. I would buy a box of noodles, add some peppers/onions, cook the brats seperately, mix it all together with the alfredo sauce. I think I would eat it all in a day. Of course I made it multiple times to try out different brats :/

    McDonalds (and/or Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, etc) at least once a day, usually twice - Every. Single. Day.

    Haven't gone near any of it in 6 years.

    Me too... Or Burger King for variety... It's been almost two months here... I admire your 6 years! That's awesome!

    In high school, we had a salad bar that sold fried shell taco salads, same kind as Taco Bell, but the shells were better. I went about a year thinking I was doing the "right" thing, salad every day, won't my doctor be so proud. One day, I saw one of those eat this, not that segments on the news, and they mentioned the TB salad was something like 1200 calories, and the most high-calorie thing on the entire menu. Well no wonder it never worked.

    If I wasn't slathering it in mayo I was drowning it in butter. Now days I've switch to ghee and coconut oil and I make my own paleo mayo and use much MUCH less quantity!!

    Haagen Dazs has a similar product, called Black Cherry Amaretto Gelato. That used to be my poison.

    my birthday is on saturday but i'm going to be out of the office for the next week, so the girls at work (an awesome group) brought my absolute favorite thing -- coconut cream pie from a local bakery. i mean, it is good. perfect crust. toasted coconut base. vanilla bean flecked light and unctuous custard. it is sex on a plate. and it has been sitting next to me for 5 hours and i have eaten one small bite. i just don't even want more than that; that one bite felt like a treat. the last time i had this pie (my last birthday), i ate half of it in one sitting. can't believe how far i have come :smiley:

    My birthday is next week, I don't really want anything. Its weird people give me a hard time for not eating like they do but they don't realize that my tastes have changed, I don't even crave most sweets anymore, and when I do eat something it's almost never any good. I'd rather eat a good Greek yogurt with fruit then a chocolate chip cookie

    5 egg omelette, filled with one cup of leftover chili and three slices of cheese and topped with salsa. Served with 6 slices of bread or more. And this was just breakfast.

    I always crave salt and would usually make a chicken ramen noodle packet as a snack almost every night. No wonder why I gained weight..

    Gigantic bowls of ice cream with toppings, followed by bowls of popcorn bigger than what they give you in a movie theatre with melted butter...this was three or four times a week as an evening "snack"



    This is STILL my usual evening snack. Lol...Sometimes between dinner #1 and dinner #2....sometimes after. And I feel like a hobbit with my 2nd breakfasts. But if i didn't eat 3 million times a day i'd never be able to keep my weight up when i'm on my usual running schedule. All depends on circumstance i suppose.

    A pint of ice cream with apple pie, and whatever other sweet "drug" of choice (cookie, etc)... Occasionally Frappucino's in the morning on the way to work... Not good!

    Fried chicken. Could never stop at one or two, at least 3 pieces. Popeye's or Bo jangles preferably. Buffalo wild wings was also a favorite.

    Well, everything I used to eat I STILL eat. So... nothing.

    Kind of this. Fish stick are a lot nicer fried. Fries are a lot nicer fried. I just eat less and within my calories these days as I want to protect my deficit and get to target. The food would taste as nice as it ever did. All the time im on the cardio I keep thinking if only human beings were twice as efficient at burning calories.....

    Chips am sure I could eat ten small bags.
    Whole cheescake/trifle
    A lot of chocolate
    Between 15-20 spare ribs, which was very nice. Lot of protein.

    I do miss not having massive plates of fried rice , chilli beef or sweet and sours that I cook. Its too much hassle in cooking for the size of portion id get at the moment.

    Such a shame I cant eat without consequence. I'll be back....

    Rice probably wouldn't be so great frozen, but what about doing up a big batch of the other stuff and then freezing individual portions? I do that with soups, chilli, lasagna, samosas. Then i have a wack of "hot" lunches i can nuke at work or pull out for dinner if i'm too tired or get home too late to spend much time on making dinner.

    There's a fella at my church who bakes the tastiest cookies known to man. And i know my cookies. You would happily fall off the greek yogurt wagon for just a bite of one. He does a chocolate chip and a butterscotch pecan with a sprinkling of sea salt on top that you would sell a kidney for. Actually, i just gave someone my kidney a month ago and stayed with his guy and his wife for a few weeks after. I ate 3 giant freezer bags full of his cookies while i was there including the souped up version of his butterscotch pecan ones that i suggested. With bacon. Yes. Bacon. My genius astounds me. I call them my miracle healing cookies. Didn't need a single pill and have the doctors in shock and awe, asking what my "secret" is. Cookies. They should give those out post op instead of morphine pumps. The clientele would be much happier.

    An entire shareable appetizer of Philly cheese steak fries...omg delicious, but totally unhealthy...shaved "steak", onions, peppers, mushrooms smothered in cheese & served on a bed of deep fried french fries. That would be dinner. I'd probably still eat some, but not the entire platter!

    Word. I live in NYC too. The other day I realized bagels are so good...Why even get the cream cheese? I got a salt bagel and ate it plain with a coffee. Delicious.

    An entire can of cream of broccoli soup mixed with an entire can of corn. Then I'd steam more broccoli and mix it in all together and eat the entire thing.

    Sometimes when I went to aldis I got a snickers bar and ate it before dinner, then ate dinner, and then a snack before bed.

    Or like a 4 pack of the banana nut muffins at Wal-mart and they'd be gone by the next morning.

    Whenever I went to McDonalds, I'd get 2 McDoubles, and eat them both one after another. Rarely I'd get a strawberry shake, 2 mcdoubles, and a large fries, and sometimes I would get one of their frozen mochas.

    I haven't done this in years (this is how I gained like 80lbs), but almost everyday, I would go to Burger King and get a Whopper or 2 Whopper Juniors, a large onion rings with extra zesty sauce, and a Hershey Pie. I loved the zesty sauce so much I even put it all over my burger(s). When there was no food left, I would use my fingers to eat the sauce. Pretty disgusting.

    An entire large popcorn at the movies.

    When I was a preteen, my dad put me on a "diet" where we'd get like every kind of vegetable and fruit that you can cut up and make a huge salad with tons of salad dressing before dinner every night, and then we would eat a regular dinner (some kind of meat, starch and cooked veggie). Talk about counterproductive. Now I eat a small salad with some chicken or lunch meat as a meal, with no or very little salad dressing.

    I am also a sucker for Italian food - spaghetti, lasagna, pizza.
