    All of it. The whole diet was just bad, bad, bad. I rarely ate anything healthy and constantly ate things that were bad for me...most of it from restaurants and fast food.

    I could never be one of those people who eats everything they used to eat and remain healthy, lol. It was that bad.

    Rather than be in shock horror against myself, this thread has just made me a bit nostalgic and hungry.

    Fish...never been a fan. Anything in a microwave. +1 on fast food and other restaurants, though I'll still get a Wendy's grilled chicken sandwhich or a subway six inch sub at work...hoping my new job will take care of that with home made cooking. Sprite. Roughly an entire can of pringles.

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


    I eat whatever I want, too, but just less of it.
    Yes, this. Once I'm in maintenance it will obviously not be eating less of it. This is one reason I look forward to bulking next year :p

    Yeah, I want to have one of Allison Reynolds' sandwiches from The Breakfast Club: PB on white bread with crushed Doritos and a sprinkled Pixie stick (or 2). I can't find any normal sized Pixie Stix round here.

    An entire bag of vinegar and salt chips about once a week. After eating the whole bag my mouth and tongue would hurt so much I couldn't eat another chip for a week - but once my mouth was well I'd do it again - over and over and over again... Sic!

    I'm gonna be honest and say this sounds delicious. If I felt like doing this I would just go a maintenance day and eat an individual bag.

    It's really quite good. saltier than in its cold state. It's REALLY good with proper cheese curds though.

    I've done it. It's amazing. And better calorie-wise than if you melted that cheese on crackers right? RIGHT?

    Are we talking a 150g bag or are they much larger in the US? The big bags in the UK are 150g ofc nothing to stop you having more than one.

    MUCH bigger (well, we have the smaller ones, too). "Party" or "Family" size bags in the US are like 300-400g+ size (usually 10-15 servings per--or ONE big serving, lol).

    I used to be able to eat burritos with tortillas and everything from Chipotle or Qdoba, now if I go to those places I have to order without the tortilla or I'll only end up eating about half of it.

    I mean... :| Or I end up with crazy agidah for the next day because I'll feel so sick and nasty afterwards.

    It's an endless list of whole foods - whole pints of ice cream, whole pies, whole pizzas, whole 2 liter bottles of pop, etc... I was a pioneer in the whole food movement.

    I am right there with you. I am now starving, jonesing for a full pizza with a side of Taco Bell, shawarma, and donuts.

    Saltines dipped in spreadable butter, like a whole roll of them....washed down with some wine. And then I'd cry about eating the butter:(

    I would make cookie dough and use a little milk instead of an egg, then sit down and eat the WHOLE bowl of raw cookie dough with a big glass of milk. Sad but true

    Probably the worst was a can of tamales, can of chili with lots of cheddar baked on top....ewwww.
    Now half of a fresh tamale, is a treat. No chili, no cheese.

    Ok that makes more sense. I was thinking you were a bit lightweight there. 500g Might start to make you feel satisfied, but as the poster pointed out theres a level at which it starts to shred your mouth. I think I definitely ate two tubes of those snack monstrosities knows as pringles, not sure I ever did three.

    The poster who did the gallon of ice cream is tops though. Not good if you are lactose intolerant plus it gets a bit sickly after a while.

    Is it sad that I still eat some of the things people mention here as a "low point"? I still eat the whole 100 g chocolate bar in one setting every now and then. I still eat a whole can of pringles, or fried things (heck, I ate 600 calorie worth of fried eggplant today).

    What I can't believe I used to eat is the things that I don't really care for but ate "just because they're lying around". I don't like salt and vinegar flavored chips for example, but used to eat a family pack just because it was in the pantry. Now instead of grabbing random things "just because" I make sure I really like and want whatever I'm eating. Calories are a precious currency to me now, and only the worthiest and tastiest of foods get to have a big chunk of them.


    What did you fry your eggplant in to get that many calories?
    I am genuinely curious. I love eggplant fried in butter but have never managed to get it that high in calories.

    chicken pasta alfredo concoctions at places like Outback, Cheddars, Chilis. I thought I was going healthy, lmao. Little did I know I would have been better off with almost anything else on the menu.

    Used to eat a pint of chocolate peanut butter Haagen Dasz alomost every day(1310 cal). I'd totally do it still if it was low-cal...
    But fast food. I grew up on McDonald's, BK, Taco Bell, etc. I've gone to McDonald's twice for food in the last year (once against my will) and it was gross. No BK or TB for a couple years. Ew.

    Oh, and half a roll of cookie dough. Again, something I'd totally still do ...

    For breakfast i used to eat white bread with butter and then i would put a lot of brown sugar on it, i ate about 3 slices and then a slice with chocolate sprinkles and for lunch i also ate bread with nutella... i now realize just ate soooo much bread, for breakfast lunch, sometimes even dinner + pretty much all snacks where bread+sugary spreads (or cheese)

    i still have icecream almost daily

    I use to eat around 1kg of peanut butter... a week. Wow, no wonder i was huge. and the bread, butter jam and milk associated with it. since i cut it back/almost out i eat way less bread, way less butter and hardly any milk down from 6-8 liters a week. funny how one small change can cause a cascade of other reductions too.

    I still eat pretty much what I used to eat except using portion control. One exception is sodium. I now average 1500 mgs or sodium a day, down from 4-5 grams a day. Funny thing, after 3 years of regulating sodium, I don't even miss it any more.

    I used to eat for breakfast almost every week at a local restaurant: 2 scrambled eggs, 3 pieces of bacon, home fries, 2 pieces of toast with jam and orange juice. On occasion my husband and I would split an order of pancackes too (with butter and maple syrup of course). Now I eat one egg, 2 pieces of bacon, 1/3-1/2 of the homefries, one piece of toast and an orange juice. I'm full after that. I can't believe I used to be able to eat so much!
