    You can lose weight eating nothing but Twinkies. Though I'd recommend eating some protein and veggies in there, too.

    I guess it depends on what your calorie goals are. Mine is 1400 Calories. For me, Breakfast is generally about 200 calories. Lunch is 300, and Dinner is 500-550. I also have a fruit in the morning and after lunch I have 2-3 snacks. I'm pretty much always eating, lol.

    I usually have that for breakfast. Sometimes dinner if we go out. As long as I don't go over my net goal it's fine. Sometimes you have bigger meals sometimes you have smaller ones. I don't think that there should be calorie limit per meal as long as you stay at your goal. If you're really worried about it, try splitting your meal.

    I don't think it is bad to eat junk food. As long as you fit the food into whatever goals you have then I do not see why there would be a problem with it. Some people don't think any food they consider junk should be eaten though, which is right for them. I am not one of those people, so eating junk food is right for me. Many people can give you many different opinions on that, you will find whatever is right for you.
