I gained 15 lbs over the winter and went off junk food and lost 10 but I really miss it. Thinking about allowing myself to have some pie,cake,sundae, etc once every 2 wks. What works for you, I don't know ,may not be able to handle it, may just start me up.

Almost every day I have a "treat". So by this I mean stuff like cheddar popcorn, chips and salsa, 100 calorie ice cream, fiber one brownie bars. These are my treats. If you mean stuff like pizza , fast food and full calorie cake/desserts then probably twice a month.0

I don't call cake, pie, or ice cream, junk food. I buy good ice cream and make delicious baked goods from scratch (or buy them from good local bakeries) and would be pretty offended if someone called them 'junk food'.
That being said... I eat treats about 5 days a week, but rarely more than 200 calories worth (unless I'm PMSing). It's usually a couple cookies, a serving of ice cream, or some chocolate. The higher calorie stuff I keep for those few days a month when I'm not very hungry.0 -

this is what I mean, I am going to try twice a month and see how it goes. Thanks0 -
I have room for a dark chocolate Hershey bar almost daily. If not a candy bar then I have ice cream or something else. Tomorrow is my husbands birthday so I already am prepared for a big piece of cake.0

Junk food?
Eat whatever you like. Just hit your calorie/macro goals.0 -
Last Friday of the month0

What do you mean by "junk"? It's a nebulous term.
I have ice cream and beer daily, if that counts.0 -
Every week. I just make sure it fits within my macros.0
-
Just plan the pie, the cake, or the cookie into your daily feeding plan. Put the treat in your plan first, then plan the rest of your day around it and make your macros work.0

As much as I want, if it fits my day .... lol0

On a cut rarely because I prefer volume but technically you can make it fit if need be. I just personally don't bother because as I said more volume seems to work better for me in a deficit. You'll find you can do it daily or not at all, it's really personal preference and planning0

Whenever I feel like it, it just has to fit in the calorie budget.0

Daily.0

I have to have something daily or I'll crave it more and overdo it. Just trying to make good decisions about the portion size.0

I don't attach negative labels to food, food is food and just has different nutritional profiles.
If I called my wife's homemade cakes or pies junk I would end up wearing them.......0 -
More then I should0

Never, cause the only junk food is beets and I don't eat those...
Back to my tootsie pop.0
