    but why do that? why replace necessary nutrients with sugar and why feed your sugar addiction at all?

    Maybe the OP doesn't HAVE a sugar addiction ...

    I don't think anyone here who is saying they eat those things is losing any "necessary nutrients". Indeed, the friends I have on here who eat reasonable calories at a moderate deficit and eat treats with moderation are the ones who are enjoying long term successes.

    Who wants to live in a world where they can never have a brownie or ice cream again?

    And, of course you can't be on a 1200 calorie diet and eat much of these things and still get what you need. But you can on a 1900 calorie diet. Or, my favorite, a 2500 calorie diet.

    charlie sheen is jealous of you!

    ETA: also, inb4 the toaster strudel cultists arrive!

    TOASTER STRUDEL FO' LIFE.

    In fairness, the only reason I prefer Toaster Strudel is because I get to be 5 all over again and draw designs with the icing.

    Or, ya know...just eat the icing straight from the packet.

    I second this. The elitists have arrived. Strudels are where it's at.

    Alas, they don't make gluten-free pop tarts. :sad:

    Great partial information post and really no way to qualify that kind of diet. Most that live on that kind of sugar intake have energy level issues and other things that come up over time. But if it works for you, have at it. I'll stick to items with better, proven quality calories.

    Cheers.

    There are plenty of necessary nutrients in both pop tarts and ice cream. Plus I do eat other food.

    No doubt I agree with you Jxnsmma about too many calories! Pop Tarts are over processed food with no nutrients. Yuck! I do agree with treating yourself, but not everyday. You are what you eat! :-)

    I like this thread.

    I usually have at least 1 item that I will loosely label as junk food for simplicity even though I'm well aware of the ambiguity.

    Typically it's ice cream when cutting. When bulking I have the calorie space to do both ice cream and poptarts :)

    It didnt make you bulky?

    I qualify my diet with my weight loss, blood panels, & body composition thank you. Plus my ability to run 20k 3 days a week & lift the other days. Not to mention keep up with my 3 year old. (It's not all I eat geez)
