in Food and Nutrition
I know we aren't supposed to eat these, but I'm into moderation, I can't just NEVER eat them again and i got to thinking.... well these could be a good pre workout snack, they are much more substantial because of the peanuts and you can have like 8 and be pretty satisfied... what do you guys think? I actually had a nutritionist tell me to eat a snickers before my vb games, I was like OK! haha.... so to pb m&m's yay or nah?!

    I had someone tell me to eat a Snicker's in between a double header softball game. It kept my energy up. I have never been able to give up completely on sweets. I think anything in moderation is fine. My weakness is Krispy Kreme donuts so every now and then I have one. I personally don't think it is good to tell yourself you can never have a certain food again (unless there is a medical reason). It just makes me want it more. Good luck.

    I say as long as you don't go over your calories do whatever works for you!!! I have my m&ms after working out - I often use my exercise calories to have a treat. Give me incentive to hit the gym regularly.

    I love em and eat them all the time....I rationalize they are partially good because of the peanuts
    When I have a craving for some chocolate I literally measure out 1/4 cup (210cals)
    I find it to be a very satisfying snack and worth the cals in my book, once in a while

    I think it's great if you can stay within your limits. I on the otherhand don't know moderation. It would be on, the poor bag would not stand a chance. LOL :smokin:

    MMMm... yum...
    I dunno, you look fit enough that I don't think it would harm you - of course, in moderation. Personally for the energy I'd eat a Lara Bar.
