    I am baffled that people can have "meals" of frappuccino or ice cream or gin and tonics and not be ravenous afterwards. Does this truly fill you up? Or are you ravenous and just deal with it?

    I'm not making a moral judgment about "high cal/ low nutrient food" - I limit it because I refuse to go to bed hungry as that messes up my sleep.

    When I do this it's usually ice cream which for me has enough fat and protein to keep me satisfied. Plus my other meals when I do this tend to be nutritionally balanced with a good amount of fiber and protein so I don't feel lacking in any way.

    How much protein is in your ice cream and what brand is it?

    The one that eats high cal/ low nutrient foods but in a deficit. I want to try things and if a frappacino (sp?) takes up my dinner calories, so be it. Not always, but some days.

    I am not misled about what cico means

    I may move towards more nutrient dense options, but I am breaking one habit at a time.

    I am also that one friend with the cluttered car.

    Reported ;)

    I get the Ben and Jerry's froyo and usually end up eating the whole pint so it's around 20 grams of protein and 12 grams of fat. Like I said as well I make sure I get enough protein and nutritious food the rest of the day when I do this so I feel fine.

    I was not really hungry, but you have a good point.

    I wanted to try their newest flavor, but it was not what i expected, so I will stick to less caloric drinks

    My ice cream is called Cool Way (Canada). I eat the whole freakin pint!

    Depending on the flavour about:
    90 calories per serving
    2.5 g fat per serving
    7 g protein per serving

    I eat 4 , 125 ml serving.

    Just added you! I eat pizza every single Monday for dinner and I still eat fast food, drink beer, etc. and am having no trouble losing weight because I've scaled back so that I'm still eating a deficit.

    I have also been known to eat DQ blizzards and bacon for dinner on more than one occasion :D:oB)

    I've been in maintenance for several years... I don't eat breakfast often, but this morning I made room for an apple fritter from Dunkin Donuts (which, unfortunately wasn't as good as I wanted it to be doggonit), and I have been known to eat a pint of Halo Top for breakfast (they have a waffle pancake one that is freaking awesome)...

    My dinner last night was three gin and tonics. :blush: But my car is clean....

    I was trying to figure out what to have for dinner... I think you might be on to something!

    I eat high cal/ low nutrient foods while NOT in a deficit. ::shrug::

    I had an ice cream sundae for lunch yesterday because it was free in our cafeteria for employee appreciation. No shame in the calorie counting game! CICO works for me!

    You're also that friend with diabetes and high cholesterol (according to your profile).

    I don't worry overly much about my macros either, and my blood work is perfectly fine. As @sagepeach says, losing weight usually helps with health issues... At least she can control her issues with weight loss.


    Hopefully the weight loss will fix the health issues. If it doesn't, then paying attention to nutrients will provide further help :)

    I love "junk" food. Kale needs to be kept as the pretty boarders at buffets, and quinoa looks exactly like what I put in my bird feeders.

    I'm the person who has an egg and a slice of toast for breakfast, flaked salmon on greens for dinner, all so I can have a brisket burger & a beer for lunch.

    I have also lost 175lbs not eating "clean". Giving up foods I love made me miserable (why every diet I have ever been on failed), I just learn to eat in moderation and find a way to work my treats into my day.

    I love you :'(

    Oh my gosh I think y’all are my diet soulmates (is that a thing? It should be lol). I try to eat healthier options so I can have a few less healthy snacks!

    I read various threads on here how some are so strict, weighing every tiny microgram, at the gym for hours. I don’t eat “clean” lol. I do workout in the mornings - mainly so I can add in my treats or a splurge meal on the weekend :D

    I am with you on that. Sorry, but no, I am not about to weigh out 4 slices of cucumber that I put on my taco, that's just ridiculous.

    Yep, I figure out the calories in my treat that I want, then hit my treadmill for a little more than the calories in my treats.

    Most of the time it’ll sate me... depends on what else I’ve eaten

    Putting cucumber on a taco? Now that's crazy talk.

    Nope, cucumbers on tacos is actually Mexican. Cheddar cheese & lettuce are purely an American thing and would never be found on a taco in Mexico (unless they are catering to foreigners). Also flour tortillas, not Mexican either. I live 5 minutes from the US/Mexico boarder.
