    Sounds like you are eating a variety of other foods along with the 2 easy mac servings per day - so, if you like them and they fit in your calorie goals, good luck to you.

    I don't much like macaroni cheese of any sort so it's not for me.
    but I can relate to the finding a food you like and eating it repetitively - I do same with some foods, I eat 3 weetbix ( with milk and tsp of sugar) for breakfast every working day.

    I guess I could all it the Weetbix Before Work diet - not quite as catchy as Easy Mac Diet but there you go.

    Shorten it to WBW diet... makes it sounds like something official...

    Okay, I'm in for naming your "diet" for something you eat every day. Think I could get famous telling people I lost 73 pounds on the Chocolate Diet? :) And no restrictions on what kind of chocolate, either... plain, generic, brand name, mixed with caramel or nuts, bars, cookies, cupcakes, muffins, milk chocolate, dark chocolate... whatever you like!*

    *consumed as part of a daily calorie-counting food plan which includes eating less calories than you burn.

    Famous, probably not. Will you lose weight, absolutely.

    Easy Mac...I thought you might be interested...

    DIY Easy Mac from Kraft blue box

    Pour 1/4 cup of noodles into a large microwave safe mug

    Add 1/2 cup water

    Microwave 3 minutes

    Stir

    Microwave 2 more minutes, then drain. The mug will be really hot, so please don’t let your toddler(or your dog) help take it out of the microwave!

    Measure out 2.5 teaspoons of the Kraft cheese, pour on top of the drained noodles

    Add 1 tablespoon of milk

    *Add 1/8 TBL butter

    *Optional

    This idea could save you tons of money...

    Can you calculate the cost per serving? I have been getting easy Mac off amazon for 23 cents per serving.

    The advantage of easy Mac over the option you presented is that easy Mac is very portable. All one needs is access to water and a functioning microwave.

    Need a fast and nutritious lunch? 3 minutes and 30 seconds in the microwave, add BBQ, stir and eat. Add a hearty piece of white bread as a side. Wash it down with a tasty zero calorie Diet Mountain Dew. #easymac

    I take it you're speaking from experience... in both cases :tongue:

    I actually do something similar (just with a higher quality cheese) for lazy work lunches. It's not bad for being lazy.

    What is easy mac?
    One of those American foods that seems like it should be in the Simpsons not in real life - like Koolaid and hamburger helper and pop tarts :)

    Alls I know is that I have not had a Pop Tart in years, but I keep reading threads on mfp about how bad they are and it makes me remember how good they tasted.

    Easy Mac with a dash of this Sprout's seasoning. The seasoning made the already great taste of the Easy Mac just that much better. #easymac

    Just enjoyed this well balanced snack. Whopper Jr (no cheese) and fries. High quality ingredients for a low low price. If you listen to the so called experts that bash fast food, I'd seriously consider their qualifications. Beef, tomato, lettuce and onion - these are all items found in the meat case and produce section at your local grocer. Eat what you want to eat when you want to eat it. The Easy Mac diet has ZERO restrictions. #easymac

    I think this sudden hashtag happening has made something inside me snap.

    I'm suddenly feeling the urge to dig my cane out of storage and start waving it at young people on my lawn.

    I'm cross posting from Facebook. That is the reason for the hash tag. #sorry
