Eating Pop Tarts and ice cream daily.

Body re-composition > skinny fat

Agree, but what does that have to do with anything in this discussion? Are you implying you can't achieve a good body composition with pop tarts or ice cream?

Looks like pop tarts cause melanoma. Have you had that looked at?

I am not too fond of store bought Pop Tarts but I sure do love my home made ones with Nutella and Strawberry jam! Makes me drool just thinking of them. Now I need to go get some Ice Cream!

recipe please :flowerforyou:

Seriously though, in 500+ responses since my OP no one has actually shown me why they're labeled as "junk" food (pop tarts). I'm especially curious as to how ice cream can be labeled as such? Is it the sugar-phobia?

Edited for horrid grammar

because they don't have any significant benefit nutritionally?

How so? Carbs, fat, protein, vitamins (and some micros too)...

have you ever heard the term "empty calories"

don't believe in them?

Real ice cream is not junk - the low fat low sugar stuff though......... :noway:

If you're going to do it, do it right.

Hope we get to round 3.



That's where I tell I you I wouldn't feed pop tarts to my dog, let alone myself, let alone a child.

Pop tart is the perfect bulking food.

In for part 2

When I was bulking I could eat 8 a day, now I have to cut that in half.:sad:

I do hope you are joking. I know of at least one RIPPED, gorgeous MFP member here who eats ice cream daily.

Anyway, here is my little contribution. In looking for poptart ice cream images, I found this treasure. Apparently, she took chocolate chip cookie dough, sandwiched it between 2 pieces of pie crust, baked it, and slopped ice cream and chocolate syrup on top. I'm gonna' make it.

What's EMPTY about them? Please explain it to me. Define it.

recipe please :flowerforyou:

Pie dough either home made or store bought rolled out. If you want a true Pop Tart shape cut rectangles or use a biscuit cutter and cut out a round. Take a bit of Nutella, spread over leaving the edge free add strawberry jam if desired. top with a second piece for dough. Crimp the edges with a fork and bake. I actually have a Pop Tart cutter I am embarrassed to admit.

I wonder if anyone has said screw it and just had them both together....

What together?

Sorry....my bad. I was talking about a Pop Tart and a Toaster Strudel.

Toaster strudel on bottom, pop tart on top, ben and jerrys in the middle.

Seriously? Toaster strudel (squishy and flimsy as it is) on the bottom? A delicious bottom crust of pop tart would be much more suitable. After that I think all flavors are up to the individual. The bottom and top crust protocol screams for a sturdy bottom - the toasted pop tart.

I hope not, sugar can cause worms in canines.

They must be special snowflake calories - or maybe elite calories. All the ones I eat aren't empty - they contain either protein (4 kcal/g), carbohydrates (4 kcal/g), fats (9 kcal/g) or alcohols (7 kcal/g). Doesn't look empty to me.

I Pop-Tarts! I ice cream. Never dreamed of putting the two together. Likely won't because I can just imagine the one he!! of a sugar headache I would get from that. So, yes, I truly limit both in my diet. Having a package of Pop-Tarts every afternoon at my desk is a good part of what ended up driving me to this site. *sigh*

Oh, and I wouldn't turn a toaster strudel down, either!

Have you met the cow that made it or did you get it in a store?
Price?
How was the milk used to make the ice cream produced? Were the cows stressed?
What type of injections were the cow given?
Is the belief that your ice cream isn't junk based on personal taste buds?




I'll accept a nutritional content label if that's all ya got but I'd rather know about the cow's stress levels and vaccination history.

Can't be serious, I honestly do not care, how stressed the cow giving me my milk is!

I do love ice cream though, eat some everyday!

I need the recipe of the brown sugar cinnamon filling. I can get the pie crust, but don't have a clue what to put between it. Any suggestions??? uh, hurry.
