Eating Pop Tarts and ice cream daily.

also this:Empty calories, in casual dietary terminology, are a measure of the digestible energy present in high-energy foods with little nutritional value, typically processed carbohydrates and ethanol (alcohol), and to some extent fats. Also known as a discretionary calorie, an "empty calorie" has the same energy content as any other calorie but lacks many accompanying nutrients such as vitamins, dietary minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, or dietary fiber.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_calorie
Did you just cite Wikipedia as an information source? Even processed foods today are fortified with micronutrients (i.e Poptarts)
please continue reading. fortified nutrients are not as bioavailable as real nutrients and have been banned in a number of European countries.

You run into the same sort of issues with food in general... not all the nutrients are bioavailable in a cooked piece of chicken as well. Obviously if your diet consist SOLELY of poptarts there will be issues. Eating whole foods that are nutrient dense, and then a poptart to fill in remaining calories is not a problem? Also, after you cited Wikipedia as an information source, you then cited it again as a rebuttal to its legitimacy? I dont even....
nope, that's not a problem, as I have said multiple times throughout this thread. (people just only pay attention to the parts they want to flame)
Have you noticed a trend. In the majority of the threads you post in, it is you arguing with just about everyone else. Then you accuse people of having "sides". Do you see anyone else here agreeing with you. I saw someone post something appropriate the other day that you may want to think about. It went something like this; if you run into someone that in a problem during a day, they were a problem. If all you run into are people you think have problems, you are the problem.
i get a lot of messages and friend requests of people agreeing with me but who don't want to fight you guys. and yes, there were some others in this thread - i'm just a glutton for punishment. and I like being an underdog.
maybe it's my 5'7" napolean complex

See, I was trying to figure out how to incorporate something as awesome as bacon into something similar to a Pop Tart ice cream sandwich but a savoury version - I think we have it!
I prefer my poptarts full of meat, cheese, lava, and remorse...

Tell me about it. Two dollar stores and two different independent grocers and no dice. Still having a staring contest with my settled for chocolate chip cookie dough pop tart. This thing is on death row with no chance of the governor stepping in. After my workout justice will be served.0 -

Why not make bacon ice cream and put it between the chocolate fudge pop tarts?0 -
I can so picture this completely dipped in melted chocolate and put back in the freezer to set... *drools*

I know... :laugh: then a couple people called me out on my diary - which is pretty damn beautiful if I say so myself - simply because, for the first time in a few weeks, I had something crappy for me.
thought y'all were all about moderation!

Is your ticker accurate?0 -
I have enhanced my idea for the Pop Tart Cream Sandwich... At first I thought, use Pop Tarts as Pie crust! Then I thought - Cake in the middle! But the answer was obvious! Ice Cream Cake in the middle of the Pop Tart!!! Pop Tart Ice Cream CAKE Sandwich!!!
You are welcome!0 -

Ah yes, bacon ice cream! We aren't that lucky over here. That I would be willing to try!

That looks good, but I think I'd have to update it by adding a fudgy dark chocolate melted brownie and salted caramel.0 -

That depends on your goal, really. It means that I have a more difficult time cutting, but an easier time adding muscle. I like my muscle, so I'll take my disadvantage.0 -

You should be bulking harder than you are. In a scenario like that, junk processed calories can actually be quite useful, as you don't hit some of the satiety issues you would with whole foods. As long as you're getting your necessary daily nutrition in, you're fine (which is the argument many on here have been making). That has nothing to do with percentages. Taking myself, I maintain on roughly 4k calories a day. I can meet my nutritional needs on under 2k (I usually spend about 1200+ getting in a baseline of protein that I want, then the rest for veggies and other such 'good for me' stuff). Once you've hit that...you're good, the rest can be whatever. Some days I only eat that, and I'll have 1600 to 2k on the day. Other days, I want that junk food, and I'll have 3k calories worth of ice cream sundaes. You can do that, be healthy, and still lose weight.
The point people are arguing about with you is that your idea of moderation is far stricter than it probably needs to be. You have a half a chicken and waffles dinner after weeks of eating only organic stuff (I didn't go that far back in your diary since I'm lazy but I'm taking your word for it)? That's pretty extreme when you could be bulking at a very slow rate eating a moderate amount of junk food on a daily basis if you wanted.
Your views frustrate me often, but I don't hate you because you're skinny. Your metabolism isn't high, and you would have less issues putting on weight if you didn't have such stringent views about food intake.i have a high metabolism. been skinny my whole life, not easy for me to put on weight. I know, you guys are gonna hate me more than you already did!0 -
