I'm still trying to figure out what food I could use in place of pizza. My nutritionist would really rather I didn't involve refined carbs like bread and pasta (for my IR). Any ideas? Bacon maybe? I don't want it to be too easy.0

Thanks for making a chit-chat thread! :flowerforyou:
Just want to say I
IIFYM. I can have my cake (or pizza in this case) and eat it too. Suffer no repercussions and life is good. Amen. 0 -

can you do 1 donut every morning for breakfast? or how about a chocolate something-or-other every day? not chocolate flavored, but an actual candy bar of some sort. that's just a couple hundred calories and can add fats to your day for you. Halloween is coming up and you can buy those bags of mini candy bars now and EASILY fit one or two of them into your macros each day. if i wasn't doing pizza, i might also consider those pumpkin pie pop tarts instead... there's not much fat or protein in them, so they are a food that's really vilified on here by certain folks. i think they're fine in moderation though. maybe a poptart ice cream sandwich would do the trick.

Maybe peanut butter M&M's? Protein and fat....yum! I like the pizza burger and taco ideas though. There's a Taco Bell on the way home from work.0

Oh no, you have to try the PUMPKIN SPICE M&Ms. Those are totally fitting for October!

I don't know about those...I like pumpkin spice, but I don't know if I could handle that. Have you see the candy corn M&Ms?Maybe peanut butter M&M's? Protein and fat....yum! I like the pizza burger and taco ideas though. There's a Taco Bell on the way home from work.

Oh i wish I liked candy corn. The pumpkin spice ones aren't bad. Kind of like a chocolate red hot, just not spicy, if you like that sort of thing.0 -

FWIW, minimalistshoeaddict inspired this challenge. he's always doing unusual food challenges for himself, so i decided to throw my hat in the ring with this one. there is another eating challenge group on here (i don't know the group name offhand) where they challenge each other to eat certain amounts of calories in certain periods of time, but those guys are mostly bulking and need extra calories. maybe when minimalistshoeaddict sees this post, he can provide the link for those interested in seeing what they do in that group.0 -

Pizza can be healthy, if the right toppings are chosen. No reason why it can't be eaten daily!
Now eating daily kit-kats or something, or heck Pumpkin Spice M&Ms (guilty), might be a different story....0 -

it's just a matter of adjusting the amounts and then choosing your other foods wisely... anyone can find room for a daily treat in their diet. they just have to have the understanding of how to do it and the willpower not to let a couple of Hershey's kisses turn into a whole bag of Hershey's kisses in one sitting. i think by not depriving yourself and eating small amounts of foods you love daily, you fight off the urge to binge. that's my experience. i still do occasionally of course. i ate a whole bag of pretzels watching the game on Sunday. fortunately, i have a high TDEE so those 1500-1600 calories weren't a problem. but it would have been better to stop at half a bag.

Oh thats not what i meant. I mean, lets say you eat your protein (and some fat) allotment in chicken. You still will have cals, carbs and the like leftover. Does that mean you can eat the remainder in say gummy bears? How does one function w all that sugar, or is IIFYM a little more balanced, allowing for some treats, not crazy ways to fit a lot of junk in there?0
