No. Eat whatever you like as long as it fits into your calories.0

No. One or two cookies a day is awesome! You eat whatever you want, just make sure it fits into your daily calorie limit.
I literally just ate a chocolate covered cracker and a cup of coffee w/ cream and sugar and it was delightful. It fit into my day and that's okay.0 -
How would it be bad? Are they laced with poison of some sort?
You can eat anything you want providing it fits within your calorie goals.0 -

Well, lets see...if you were getting in all of your fruits and veg, plenty of lean sourced protein, some whole grains, and healthy fats...how would a couple cookies undo all of that?
Meet your nutritional needs and calorie targets...and then have a cookie.0 -
Plan for it and fit it in your calorie goal for the day.0

Do you want 1 or 2 cookies? Do they fit in your calories? Are you getting the other nutrients you need during the day?
If yes - eat the cookies.0 -
I had two Reese's peanut butter cups by 10 am yesterday. Eat whatever you want, whenever you want, just log it

Bad for whom?
Do you have room in your budget and have you met your other nutritional goals?
Is there a medical (f.e. diabetes) or psychological (f.e. trigger item) impediment that would make the cookies or crisps ill advised?
Do the cookies or crisps, in your opinion, offer you the best "reward to cost ratio" having taken all the above into consideration?
If yes, log them, eat them, and enjoy them!
If not, find a substitute that outperforms them!0 -

Regular cookies and crisps? Sure.
One of these? Maybe not so much.

Yes, but just don't eat a whole bag. Get a food scale and measure an actual serving to be sure you're not overdoing it. Happy snacking!0

no - not your calories - your macros and calories - make sure you get close to your protein , fat and carb levels (I would eat more protein than MFP suggests) and then as long as you are not sensitive to sugar, eat what you like. Your body doesn't give you extra marks once you have given it what it needs . If you just eat your calories you may miss important nutrients which will slow you down and could make you weak0 -

Oh whatever, sure. I guess I should have specified since someone was sure enough to come pick apart my comment. Yeesh.

No way. Like a couple other posters, I budget ice cream into my diet almost every day. It makes me happy and keeps me sane. I say EAT THE COOKIES!

I would never last with this process if I never had cookies, or cake, or pie or ice cream.....etc. I budget calories every day for a dessert of some sort at the end of the day. Some days it is a very low cal dessert, others it is a big yummy one depending on where I am with my cals for the day.
Count the calories, eat the cookies and enjoy the cookies.0 -

Nope, eat what you like as long as you can still meet your calorie goals. Weight loss is about calories, math and eating at a deficit-simple as that
Now if you want to get into macros that's a second subject, but I'm assuming your focus is on weight loss? For that-calories and math. 0 -
being on stupid diets such as no carb, atkins ect I just thought I should triple check, I have lost 7lbs and I've been eating 1400 calories which includes my fav food so I'm happy thanks friends 0

I've lost almost 60lbs and have been in maintenance for over two years now, and I'm JUST starting to figure out macros lol. I'm realizing that there's definitely a bit of a learning curve to figuring out how to make things fit into specific macros ratios, but it's kind of fun learning about it too If you don't want to get too complicated at this point, just focus on calories and then eating a wide variety of foods, including your favorites 0 -
oh okay yh rather keep it simple for now as long as I lose weight. Thanks Sara 0

only if they dont taste good.....0

Eat what you like, but in moderation. I lost all my weight eating cake, ice cream and candy daily. I fit these treats into my day and make sure to use portion control.0
-
Eh, if it works for you, why not?
For me, I can't afford that many empty calories...and if I want something sweet, it will be chocolate or fruit. To each his or her own.0 -
I have a sweet or savoury snack most days if I have calories left. Now weather getting better eating ice-cream too. Still losing0
