Now I want Mac n cheese for dinner. Not Kraft dinner (never liked it) but the Kraft Deluxe Macaroni & Cheese.
I had some incredible mac and cheese over the holiday. Went with my sister and het friends to a place called Pluto’s. Had a caprese sandwitch and some life-changing mac

recipe please.
To prep my zuchinni slices I followed the method of salting them generously, leaving them sit for 15-20 min, and then blotting all the liquid off with paper towels. It got rid of the lot of excess liquid and didn’t leave a ton of salt behind. If you don’t have a mandoline just slice your zuchinni as thin as possible and it will still be fine!

i dont like spaghetti, which is weird, cause i like spaghetti SAUCE ok. and i like pasta in any other form. it has to be a mental thing. i will eat it, i just ..... prefer not to lololol
philly cheesteaks for dinner. but im under a lot of stress and have been WAY under cals for the past few days (not even eating what ive logged) and ... i havent had much today. in all honesty, i probably wont finish my sandwich, but its eating, and at this point, deficit wise, i could eat about anything.
hopefully tomorrow is a better day. this week has been *kitten*.4 -
My coach cut my calories, carbs and fats. This is what I get for telling him I want to be bikini-ready for my trip to Belize in March.
All my extra goodies that I usually fit into those extra 250-300 calories are gone for the next 6 weeks.
I'm going to have to shoot for "cleaner" and "healthier" than my normal. Boo!5 -
The first rule of Binge night, never look at the scale the next morning.4

Additionally (and not to nitpick in our awesome thread, but I guess maybe I'm going to anyway) filthy eating /= binging. I either work the foods I want into my calorie goal, have planned maintenance days, or planned 'way over maintenance' days (e.g. Christmas). Binges are another issue completely, in my opinion.
And you know I'm a big fan of my daily weighing and weight trending app! It keeps me sane when my body tries to drive me crazy6 -
i also love to eat junk foods. This give me more enjoyment. I even don't think about my health when I eat them.0

I had a donut hole covered in sprinkles last night. Fit my calories AND my macros for the day.3

Of course! This is the thread where you can have anything!
Plain?
Or with berries?
Or perhaps red velvet is more your style?

Cherry cheesecake is my favorite, but all cheesecake is acceptable!2

As you wish.

I must fall into this category too! Don't get me wrong, I like all kinds of so-called 'clean' foods but I pretty much eat whatever appeals to me at that moment. Tonight I'm making stroganoff in my Instant Pot with minimal nutritional value but it's freezing cold out and I don't care. I'll still be within my calories!6

I dont judge and dont tolerate judging me. We're all on our own paths for different reasons. A bit of junk now and then can ward off an all-out crap binge and off wagon weekend.3

I can’t stick to a diet that deprived me of what I really like. I do devote too many of my calories to junk food, but I don’t go totally overboard. And I do like healthier foods. I eat lean meats and enjoy fruits and vegetables. The key to keeping from rebounding is portion size. Once at goal weight, portion size creeps up on me. Need to log forever. I can’t be trusted on my own.3

I am one of, apparently, many who think "clean" eating is mostly a bunch of magical thinking and pseudo-science. About the best thing the "clean food" ideology has going for it is that eating "clean," particularly avoiding grain-based packaged foods, usually leads to choosing foods with a higher nutrient density, so it's easier to get what the body needs with fewer calories. Seems to me like it's an unnecessary extreme though. It's perfectly possible to make better choices without getting paranoid about "toxins" and gmo, etc. Some of it's pretty hypocritical as far as the "clean" stance against "processed" foods, when they substitute some overpriced thing that you can only find in a 'health food' store, and is actually every bit as processed as what it is replacing. Almond flour, for example. We're supposed to believe that turning nuts into a flour involves less processing than grinding wheat?
Anyway. I do low(er) carb because I have diabetes and I'm trying to get my blood sugar under control, and high protein because I'm working to preserve muscle mass, but I have no regard for buzz words like "inflammation". For me, a chili cheese dog in a Mission "carb balance" tortilla is a healthy meal. I can even throw some Fritos in there as well. I also typically drink a literal gallon of diet pepsi in a day (not that I actually suggest this is a good idea. It's expensive and less than optimal, but I have no evidence that I'm in any way harmed by it either.)8 -

YUMMM.
i would really dig a fish sandwich, though. hubby is traveling next week for work and doesn't eat fish. i might have to whip some fish sandwiches up for my son and me one night.
i totally want this recipe!
just kidding! in my excitement i didn't bother to scroll down and see where it was posted. thanks!0 -

It me. Check my diary lol.0

I definitely don’t eat the cleanest... though I don’t have much of a sweet tooth I’m suuuuper into savoury foods. Mashed potatoes and spaghetti are huge weaknesses of mine lol!! I love love love to cook, I love to enjoy food, I just try to keep it within my limit and choose the healthiest options when it comes to food I love tomorrow I’m making a delicious turkey dinner. Then I can have turkey sandwiches or wraps for lunch! Yum.0
