    http://s3.amazonaws.com/theoatmeal-img/comics/running/running_6eating1.png <--- this is from that comic. I forgot how to image it sorry.

    I'm not sure you really understand what we're doing here.

    I am a runner/lifter but at the moment I can't run or lift (surgery) and even before I exercised at all I ate something sweet daily. I control my portions. I hit my macros/micros. But I also enjoy sweets in moderation. I do not see this as treating my body like a "walking dumpster."

    No I have to have a calorie limit because I'm not a great cardio person myself. If I could eat as much candy as I want I would. But I can't. Personally I'm a kfc, butter sandwiches person... Hot Chocolate cake with ice-cream, though that is probably very common. Plain old fruit loops. Baklava is probably the biggest guilty pleasure calorie wise.

    http://theoatmeal.com/comics/running <--- I think this guy knows how we feel. In short everyone wants an excuse to eat whatever they want. But read this anyway.

    Oh go take a flying leap at a rolling doughnut (if you are criticising the thread, that is)

    80% of my food, at least, comes from fish, veggies, fruits, seafood, nuts, seeds, oatmeal, potatoes, sweet potatoes, goat's cheese, eggs and such wonderful, wholesome foods.
    Very few people can eat whatever they want in whatever quantities they want... but most people CAN eat whatever they want if they practice moderation, even those who are not very active.

    We all have calorie limits in this thread. And most of us are eating 1-2 portions. You're making it sound like we're just sitting around binging on nothing but sugar, which is disingenuous and insulting.

    Day 1 - Chocolate fudge brownie - I did not see the thread in time and already ate it so now picture.  Fail on my part.
    Day 2 - Half of a Reeces peanut butter cup cupcake with butter cream and chocolate frosting.  Only half because she ate the other half.  Also, a serving of Talenti - Sea Salt Caramel Gelato.
    Day 3 - Talenti - Southern Butter Pecan Gelato
    Day 4 - Chocolate fudge brownie - I took a nice bite of it before I realized I didn't take a picture. 
    Day 5 - Chocolate chip cookie and a Peanut butter white chocolate chip cookie.  I should have had 2 or 3 of the PB instead of the other one.   Not a proud day for me.  Plus I ate like 4 lunches so i didn't have many calories to spare.
    Day 6 - Lobster tail - It was a croissant like baked pastry filled with bavarian cream and topped with powdered sugar.   I also have 3 chocolate covered, nutella filled cookies.
    Day 7 - Cupcake. Yellow cake with chocolate ganashe and butter cream. 1/2 a cronut. It's a croissant with a vanilla topping and custard filling.

    I suggest you actually read the first few pages of the original thread. This isn't about eating as much sweets as one wants. It's about working in sweets into your daily calorie goal.

    In fact, there is a person who is doing it weekly versus daily. Please stop hijacking the thread. I encourage everyone to ignore and carry on :) You guys are doing awesome :D

    I LOL'd hard when I got to the "I ran 20 miles today, I can eat what I want" because I DID run 20 miles today, and I AM eating what I want.

    Including a slice of Mango Cheesecake and Chocolate Boston Cream Cake. They were both tasty. The cheesecake used coconut instead of graham cracker crumbs for a crust... and I got to thinking "hey... somebody would probably love to make a cauliiflower pie crust". I also had a mocha instead of an Americano today, and I might grab some McDonalds at some point.

    Day 1: Private Selection Salted Caramel Cheesecake mini mason jar treat. Pretty yummy, but not a go to for me if I want cheesecake again.
    Day 2: Chocolate Vanilla Creme Pop Tarts. Best. Flavor. Ever.
    Day 3: Brownie Sundae with a Fiber One brownie, Stroh's Vanilla Bean ice cream and chocolate syrup.
    Day 4: Stroh's Vanilla Bean ice cream.
    Day 5: Tiger Fuel & Blue Sky Daquiri from Comerica Park. I can't go there and not get one. So good.
    Day 6: Lemon Cheesecake Bars.
