Question

So I tend to keep away from sugar and carbs, but..

I was wondering if I have a candy or pastry but stay under my calorie count for the day, is it still considered bad for my diet?

Thanks

No.

I ate Chocorooms before dinner. I'll let you know if I gained 50 pounds back when I weigh in the morning.

Definitely won't hurt your diet. If the only thing you are focused on is weight loss (ignoring other health factors), then the only thing that matters is total calories. The type doesn't matter for weight loss. For maintaining muscle, it does, but for weight loss? Nope, not at all.

I noticed you had another post about this. Enjoy a sugary treat once and having a bowl of icecream once a week or a candy bar or whatever will not ruin progress, esp if youre staying within your claorie goals.

I was super strict no sugar, very low carb, for a few months, then stopped because my food choices were so boring. Now i encorporate carbs and treats regularly and have had no problem losing still.

Also fruit can help with suagr cravings and is packed with nutrients. There is nothing bad about carbs and suagr (sugar is a simple carb) people just avoid them because usually fats and protien are more filling.
