So,
We have a cake run at work, it starts at my desk and she rings a bell and shouts cakes anyone!
i think she is taunting me....
Anyway, I had a cake a day last week and still lost 2lbs in that week, as I am keeping within my calorie allowance per day and also am doing loads of exercise....
pros and cons of this are what?? help please

Con
Nothing your still losing.0 -
It's probably just me, but I totally do not understand your post. I don't know what a cake day or cake run are. That said, you say you are still losing, so I guess it's all good!0

As long as you're getting your macros and micros I don't see the harm from a health point of view.0

I'm equally confused, I'm guessing that the "cake" is not the cake we are thinking it is? Maybe language difference?It's probably just me, but I totally do not understand your post. I don't know what a cake day or cake run are. That said, you say you are still losing, so I guess it's all good!0 -
What? Eat cake. Enough said.0
-
Well you should already know what the pros are.
The cons should also be a little obvious. Cake is not exactly considered to be a healthy food. Whether of not that bothers you and how much will affect your thoughts on it.0 -
Are you getting in your target levels of protein and other vital nutrients? If so, congratulations and have another cake.0

So eat more veggies.. and have a shot of cupcake vodka at the end of the day
.. YUMMY with diet gingerale. 0 -

Your post didn't entirely make sense to me, but if you're losing weight, and eating cake, then I see no problems whatsoever. :P0

Definitely the problem. I hate translating English to English...0 -
A cake run is a lady who comes to your desk at work with a trolley full of cakes you can eat.0

We never should have rebelled.0 -
For me, the sugar in something like cake makes it more difficult to stay within my allotted calories so I tend not to have sugary items more than once a week, but if you have the control to keep it within your alotment, then good for you!0

One of the best games ever!0 -
I avoid carbs, they seem to reflect weight a lot more than just calories. So I would probably have them as a 1-a week treat.0
-
I eat whatever the hell I want to eat as long as it fits into my calories.0

Cake run, like a mail run, or a food run. She's saying that an evil lady at her office goes by everybody's desk and offers them a PIECE of cake. What confused me is that she said that she had a cake a day. :laugh:
OP, I'm w everyone else. As long as it fits your diet, then you can have it. Enjoy.
"Don't eat the cake. Eat veggies and become an alcoholic." Good advice. :laugh:So eat more veggies.. and have a shot of cupcake vodka at the end of the day.. YUMMY with diet gingerale.0 -
It's on! Portal came out!!0 -

HAHA!! Thanks for the laugh!0 -
