    Favorite Not So Unhealthy Cheat Food

    Just a question, always looking for things that might be good to enjoy occasionally that aren't completely unhealthy.

    For me, my major one is White Cheddar Popcorn, I love it, and eat it a few times a week--the mini-100 calorie bags. How bout you all?

      Hummus with (raw) carrots, squash, broccoli or cauliflower. YUMMY!

      Not too sure what makes a food unhealthy, that being the case, not sure anything actually qualifies as "cheating" in my book. I guess I'd go with fried chicken since I usually don't do fried chicken.

      Fiber one protein bar coconut almond, it tastes like an almond joy candy bar.

      Eat what you want, in moderation, make it fit into your macros, maintain caloric deficit, still lose weight.

      Trail mix, but you got to eat it slow cuz it's just too easy to grab in for another handful :)

      I don't have any "cheat" foods because all foods are valid healthy choices.

      beef wellington

      ribs

      donuts

      These choices sound delicious!

      "not so unhealthy cheat food" sounds like an oxymoron to me.

      My "cheat foods" would be:

      pizza
      fried chicken
      mac n cheese
      loaded cheese fries
      buffalo wings

      The list goes on, but I'll just stop here as a favor to myself and you all. Haha.

      However, the great thing about these items is there's ways to still have them, but make them "healthier" by making yourself with lower fat/calorie ingredients.

      Sensible Portions Veggi Straws are something I just started trying. Some taste a lot like chips and you get a lot of straws for low amount of calories!

      I am in love with the Fiber One cinnamon cake squares. They're not really cheating because they're 90 calories and 20% of your daily fiber but they TASTE like you're cheating. For some reason, psychologically, that works for me!

      Dark chocolate is a good one.

      Also skinny, sugar-free syrup lattes. Not particularly healthy (syrup), but low in calories, sweet and that all-important caffeine boost!!!
