    I love this thread! It is helping me realize I can have the steak fat and the chicken skin, I just need to account for it. What always happens is that I can't pass it up, and then I feel like a failure, and that's just not necessary!

    Exactly right. Portion control is the key. We had fried chicken the other night (which is why I mentioned it) and yes, I ate some of the skin. Not ALL of it, just a bit.

    Big plates of nachos.


    Not the wimpy nachos you get at Taco Bell or whatever. The big, heaping, cheese-whiz laden, smothered with everything you can think of, plates you get at pubs or Old Mexican restaurants.

    Those are my weakness.

    The worst thing you can do is think you failed because that makes everything okay; you can recover from anything but not everything. :bigsmile:

    Seriously, an indulgence or two like these are not really that bad and easier to fit in than you might think as long as you account for them. There are brats in my fridge right next to the turkey franks. The brats have over 3 times the calories, mostly from fat, but the numbers are 220 calories versus 70. So if I have two brats instead of turkey franks sometimes, that's only 300 calories I need to account for somewhere.

    YES. Bar nachos are soooo GOOD.

    I'll have two helpings of everything above, lol! My weakness is all food. I want the Reese's after the ribs. But to the OP - the fatty edge of a steak or chop all crisped up on the grill.... heavenly! (My husband thinks I'm gross.)

    In for prime rib fat and bacon, washed down with Guinness, but I don't feel a bit guilty about it.

    Fat is high on my list of indulgences also; a nice marbled steak, the small side of the pork chop, fried chicken thighs, the giant Polish sausage with the peppers and onions at the fair, ribs...

    I still eat some of this stuff, just not as often and not as much at one sitting.

    I think bbq ribs are my weakness!!! (I have a HARD time limiting myself but I find a way to do it) and that's what had me thinking. My sister made some last night and they happened to be very fatty. She thought it was gross, but I totally went for the fat! Most people I talk to don't like the texture, but I love it and it holds on to so much flavor!

    Ribs.. omg.. yes! I do love the taste of fat but when it's just warm and not charred, I don't like the texture so I put it in my mouth and absorb the flavor for a few minutes then spit it out lol. Love that expression "chew the fat" -it's literal for me! I don't really advertise that but my bf has seen me do it a few times and looks at me really weird. Give me crispy fat though and I'm all over it. Rib eye steak with charred fat along the edge... nothing is spit out in that case! I do have a lot of guilty pleasures but that's the only one I can think of that would make most people say ewwww - oh I do sometimes microwave cheddar cheese chunks in a bowl and eat it with a fork and nothing else lol

    I must say, I LOVE fat on meat. Pork fat, beef fat, FAT!!! I absolutely love it.

    What better way to pack fat on your body than to literally eat fat? lol SUCKS.

    I control myself, and still manage to lose because I don't eat a lot of it all the time and would buy lean meat to avoid the issue.

    I know some people find this disgusting.

    Anyone have any similar bad food habits?

    Chicharrones! But not the crispy pork rinds sold in bags. At this meat market, they sell "pork fat". It's chunks of pork fat with a tiny bit of meat. When cooked right the meat is tasty and the fat like pops and melts in your mouth...it's the best fat!

    YES those are good too and I agree, not the crap in the bag. One of my friends had a huge family and at every wedding her uncles and brothers would hunt a pig and they'd cook it up for the party, we'd have bowls full of fresh deep fried chicharrones on each table, i just keep eating them, they were really good with beer

    Chicken skin off of the baked chicken leg quarters... yum.. Everyone I know is all "eeewwww grosssssss" at the thought of eating the chicken skin and I'm all breaking out in a cold sweat trying to exercise self control enough to not to make an entire meal of crispy greasy salty garlicy glorious chicken skin....

    I still eat the skin off of the chicken.. but my rule is that I can only eat the skin from my OWN chicken leg.. and not from ALL the chicken legs I baked.
