    This is going to sound horrible…
    Old me: Mexican pizza, two tacos, Spanish rice, and the cheesy mashed potatoes.

    New me: Mexican pizza.

    I like 2 small items, with minimal sauces (i.e. no sour cream).

    LIke a bean burrito and beef taco. Water of course.

    I have never ever eaten there. And I don't feel the need to ever eat there.

    Thankfully I was raised somewhere where the closest fast food restaurant was 25 minutes away. And we didn't go there as a "reward". So I've never been much of a fast food person.

    Lulz...well now that we know how superior you are...

    My thoughts exactly when reading it.

    I are there recently for the first time. I wouldn't waste calories in the potatoes but the 2 hard shell tacos were very good and not too many calories.

    Taco Bell was never my favorite place
    Old me:
    chicken quesadilla
    2 soft tacos
    large pop

    new me:
    2 fresco grilled steak tacos

    I don't really care for taco bell so I've only been there once since I started losing weight. (and that was because I was on a business trip and got out voted)

    I would eat whatever you feel you should allow yourself. I ate a random array of things before, but now I try to be a little more aware. I check how many calories I have left for the day and then I look at the nutritional facts for everything and pick what I would like from there. Don't let anyone on here make you feel bad for wanting to eat fast food... we all eat something that's not the healthiest, no one has room to judge and judging is not what MFP is for.

    3 crunchy taco supremes 600 cals
    3 Nacho cheese chalupas 1080 cals
    1 caramel apple epinada 310 cals

    TOTAL 1990 calories in ONE MEAL. :cry:

    Sometimes I would even eat 4 of each. Binge eating at its best. Ugh old me, why.


    I don't know what I would eat now...haven't eaten there in well over a year, still sounds delish though, sadly.

    Avocado, Water, Tomato, Onion, Jalapeno, Salt, Cilantro, Lemon Juice, Ascorbic or Erythorbic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Alginate


    Just sayin.


    You ain't had my guacamole, son. Mines the real deal. just sayin :wink:

    I didn't say it was very good guacamole. But it's certainly real guacamole. I imagine most people would be surprised to see that Taco Bell guacamole was made with pretty much the exact same ingredients you'd use at home.

    I'm not going to debate guacamole, bud. :-) You're right.

    I can't lose weight eating fast food unless it's a salad. There is something they put in the ingredients that cause me to overeat. So I stay away

    Dont eat fast food...

    I make my own taco salads with no shells or have a low carb tortilla with lean ground beef + bell peppers + feta cheese + spices...

    Learn to cook...

    You're assuming that people eat taco bell because they don't know how to cook. Also, what you're making sounds a lot more like souvlaki than taco salad

    No we won't tell you it's ok to eat Taco Bell.

    Double triple quadruple agree. The term "It'll be just a minute, we have to clean out the meat hose" shouldn't apply to food.

    So, obviously, now that I stick to real foods, I have no business at Taco Bell. But the old me would get a Cheesy Gordita Crunch, or the biggest fatty nachos they offer. And a little too frequently :)

    Taco Bell is real food. It's delicious, and it's OK to eat there. You obviously like the food. It's not bad for you. So eat it.

    The old me would have 2 crisp beef burritos with guacamole and hot salsa. The new me would have 2 crisp beef burritos with guacamole and hot salsa.
    Edited to say we don't have a Taco Bell where I live and so I only have it about once every 10 years. Not really a problem I have to deal with.

    Taco Bell is delicious. My go to is a Cheesy Gordita Crucnh with beans instead of beef and a cheese quesadilla (because I'm obsessed with the sauce they put in it).

    That combo probably has a ton of calories, but I don't even care. If I want it, I'll get it.

    Caramel apple epinada? What's that?! Add that to my order of crispy burritos!

    I still eat the same thing. I just don't go there as often.

    1 Volcano Burrito - no rice : aprox 730 calories (790 w/rice)
    1 or 2 Dorito Taco Supreme(s) : 200 calories per taco

    So 930 - 1130 calories for one meal.

    Way to blame anything but yourself for overeating.

    The beef contains very little MSG, by the way. MSG is a component of yeast extract. They don't add MSG directly.

    Same thing I always get, no difference at all...

    Crunchwrap Supreme with Guac or Burrito Supreme
    Cheesy Gordita Crunch

    Sometimes some Fresco Soft Tacos with Chicken too, if I'm feeling super hungry.

    I always order a crunchwrap supreme without sour cream and a water or diet coke. Plenty of food, but not an unreasonable amount of calories. (510)
