thats a lot of donuts. i can usually only eat one cuz the sugar will make my belly hurt. but yea i usually eat what i want just less. i had one hot wing and a scoup of icecream for a snack earlier it was good.0

I am new to the site and just saw someone say he ate 800 calories in donuts. That would be way too much sugar, right? I go over sugar if I eat a few pieces of fruit.
I see a lot of people claiming to eat ice cream and cake and pizza and I just don't see how they can lose weight this way.
Also a friend on my list sent me a message and told me to make sure I "set my macros" right? What is right?
Should I not use what MFP gave me?
I don't even track sugar and have lost a few pounds... I eat pizza, ice cream, waffles with syrup for breakfast, chocolate in the afternoon, along with a host of lean meats, veggies, fruits, and grains... Point is if you are in a caloric deficit, you will lose weight...... I track fiber in place of sugar and watch my 3 macros........ Best of Luck0 -

I had a turkey wing once that had 4.5 ounces of meat. I was impressed.
1 hot wing though, that means 11 didn't get reported.

Well.... hmm lets see it was leftovers there was only two and my daughter stole the other one...shes 3 and went to town on it and it was more funny than anything else. Maybe Im a weirdo but sometimes Im more hungry than others.. I just wasnt that hungry and wanted a little snack. I eat at least 1800 calories a day trust me Im not starving myself.thats a lot of donuts. i can usually only eat one cuz the sugar will make my belly hurt. but yea i usually eat what i want just less. i had one hot wing and a scoup of icecream for a snack earlier it was good.

the grinch would eat that.Here: :polymersteampunkdonutcharmforyou:
I think it's jewelry. You could wear it and not eat it. Plus it's tiny...like 41 calories.
I have to learn how to put pictures inside the comments. A grinch picture would be funny.
I'm old.
Here is a great Tutorial about adding pictures to posts.

p.s. I think the teensy donut is actually jewelry - but it's a good size for a one bite snackie.0 -
I had a pint of ice cream for lunch earlier this week, and I'm having chocolate/oreo truffles at a potluck tonight... You can still lose weight while eating what you like, even 800 cals of donuts, as long as you're in a calorie deficit when all is said and done.0

When you have 2 and your kid wants 1.. thats how. Its magical I know. Im lucky there was 2 cuz my husband was in the fridge earlier that day. You guys are sure having fun with this. Glad to be of service.

Because I have already met my Macros and am still under calorie goal... and I want a donut.
Donuts are awesome.
But then again, I don't eat a silly low number of calories to lose weight.0 -
I stopped tracking sugar several months ago. That being said, I don't eat donuts regularly, but I did enjoy a few this week (there's a fantastic local donut place in town that also makes excellent pizza, yes I also had some of the pizza).
The advice here has been good. Eat less than you burn (without going too far) and get in resistance training to maintain muscle as you lose.0 -
Is 800 calories really a lot of donuts?
By my calculations that's only about 3 donuts.
3 is not a very large number.0 -

Yeah, that's one of them. She posted a day or two ago that I'm a plant from the "industry" or something :laugh: She'll try to scare you about "toxins" and tell you processed food is bad and all sorts of other total nonsense.
She has her own group, and asks people to PM her, because whenever she posts her nonsense on the public boards it gets ripped apart. I strongly urge you not to listen to her.
You know it is one thing to post an opinion--but just leave it at that!
Processed food --depending on what it is-- does contain a substantial amount of additives that prolong shelf life and make it look pretty yet add nothing to the nutritional value. Some of those additives are carcinogenic. Some of those additives contribute to a number of chronic diseases. What is nonsense about that? ( And yes--this question is rhetorical.)
To the OP: chances are you just want to do what is going to work to help you get healthy. Part of that getting healthy is losing weight. Part of that getting healthy is developing eating habits that will feed your body so that you can do the things you enjoy without your body breaking down. The long and short of it is this: choose food wisely--fresh fruits and veggies, lean meats, a variety of grains and dairy. good fresh water. Have a donut when you feel like it once in a while.
I would advocate avoiding soda, fast food, processed food ( high calorie, low nutrient trade off). I prefer to eat from the "clean 15 list" and purchase organic for the "dirty dozen" ( you can google it). I also prefer to buy my meat, eggs and dairy local--farm/grass raised ( also happens to be organic).
Macros can be a bit tricky when you are first starting out....but a good rule of thumb is to focus more on the carbs, protein and fat. I do agree with the PP that your protein could stand to be increased.

Do you have any information on the thing about cancer and disease?
I have started walking and that's about it...I put some music on the Ipod and made a commitment to walk a few times a week.0 -

Are you aware that carcinogens occur as frequently in the natural world as in artificial substances?0 -
]OK, I will google the dirty dozen and read it.

The best source of information that you can find is really reading the label of the food. Do recognize and ingredient? Look it up--and see why it's in your food. One great example are flour tortillas. I used to feed them to my children several times a week. Then I looked at the ingredients: Hydrogenated oils, softening agents, mold inhibitors, flavor enhancers. If you research each ingredient--you will be able to follow the trail as to what adverse effects these ingredients can have on your health. YOU are your own best advocate! Small changes lead to sustainable changes! ETA: to add...I am a lover of doughnuts and donuts myself. I also eat ice cream and pizza, and beer. I just choose carefully...and certainly watch portion and frequency. HTH!
And walking? It is the best exercise for starting out! I commend you on your commitment! Keep up the good work!0 -
At first I was like you, didnt think people could diet while eating things like donuts, boy was I wrong. all you need to do is stay under your calorie limit and you'll lose weight. although your body does need nutrition.. so I dont recommend living off of donuts.0
