"You can eat whaver you want, as long as you eat at a deficit" is true, but it's garbage advice.

    Op, have you considered eating more snacks that are already portioned? that way you won't overindulge in eating more and More. I personally don't buy the small size candy bars at all. I tend to buy one chocolate bar if I want it. If I want pizza I get a tortilla, add cheese, meat, and veggies, so I'm not tempted to eat a full box of pizza. I can make a regular pizza as well with dough, but I make a small sized pizza. I allow myself to not have other portions available for me. Also for ice cream I get the HALO too ice cream omg it's great, and if you can finish it all if you're counting calories.

    But if eating what you like in moderation doesn't work for you than you don't have to. I just think for me it would be a cruel existence not to be able to eat it. I also eat chocolate as well grabbed 3 Hershey kisses from the office today.

    I can fit 1/2 of a large, thin crust ham and pineapple pizza into my daily calories relatively easily, so why shouldn't I?
    Because pineapple shouldn't be anywhere near a pizza... :tongue:

    Cosigned.

    It also needs the jalapenos, then you have the sweet and hot, which is to die for.

    Reminds me of my favorite sandwich (which has a lot of calories, so is a lunch splurge): thinly spliced madrange ham, gruyere, mango chutney, avocado, and jalapenos.

    Oh, and when I have that splurge for lunch -- it comes with almonds or housemade chips and with that ends up around 680-700 calories -- I can fit it in without difficulty just by being a little less indulgent at dinner or skipping ice cream if I was planning to have some. Usually I prefer to have more like 450-500 calorie lunches, but it's sometimes worth it, and somehow I don't end up starving on those days, not at all.

    Just follow it with apple cider vinegar or green tea to reset your metabolism. Then you can eat whatever you like.

    Source?

    The internet lol, I'm pretty sure it was a joke

    Absoultely agree, hate this if it fits your macro crap... carbs are not all the same, proteins are not all the same, fats/sugars/oils etc are not all the same.... yes a cheat meal is fine after a solid effort week but dont throw cheat meals in everyday cause it fits the basic macros some overpaid PT has told you to follow, they make money from your slow progress
    The biggest and baddest bodybuilders will count every calorie and macro, because it counts and matters
    Lollies = Carbs
    Rice = Carbs
    But theyre not the same carbs and the hidden macros behind it all will bite you in the *kitten* too
