    I can't eat Pop Tarts due to a self-imposed dietary restriction (vegetarian), but I can't say the same for (most) ice cream. :)

    I would just pass on the 3 meat pop tarts and go for some of the more vegetarian friendly varieties.

    The ones I've checked (mind you, I think it has been fruit based ones), they had gelatin. Is it just the jelly? Cause if so... I do remember enjoying those growing up. lol

    Well I'll be. After researching gelatin (it is made from animal by products), no, you cannot eat pop tarts. Or gummies bears. Or Jello!

    I just want to know what OP does to burn all those calories, lol.
    I can only get close doing 2 hours intense gym cardio, or cycling for a over 2 hours.

    Read the rest of the thread and you'll find out.

    I have read all of the thread, but it is a lot of posts and some I read late last night before bed, I must have missed that. It does not specify what cardio he does, if you refer to the initial post. Or what weight training. Just how much.

    they didn't have brown sugar! cherry it is. in the toaster as we speak. and actually yeah I'm having both. Puts me over on carbs significantly, but I needed the calories. :tongue:

    I am shocked, but also glad you are giving yourself a nice treat tonight. Last time I had one, I heated it up and put a little ice cream on top. Next time, if there is a next time as I prefer brownies and chocolate fudge cake personally, I plan on trying it with some greek yoghurt. I loved the cinnamon ones, hated the smores, not found any other flavours I like yet.

    "Please, 'convince' me of a fact that I have established in my head to be true, and I actually have no intention of changing-- I just want to prove that I'm such a special snowflake that I can eat 800 calories of sugar every day and flaunt it to the fatties."

    So if it has mold or fungus growing on it ... it's probably bad.

    If it looks green but started out white ... it's probably bad.

    If it's moving, and you're not touching it ... it's probably bad.

    I eat them both frequently. I usually try to choose the no sugar added ice cream and I have to say the cupcake confetti poptarts are freaking amazing (didn't think they could be better than cc chookie dough ones, but they are)!!!!!!!!!

    Hope you lost a huge amount of weight so obviously they aren't bad unless you eat a lot of it every day!

    so guys, I'm gonna go eat some pop tarts today. :laugh: my local bodega's selection is limited - brown sugar or cherry i think... which do I go with?

    The brown sugar pop tarts are amazing.

    i've had em both and like 'em both... just if i'm gonna do this i gotta make the right call. haha

    Yes, if you're going to - take your time and make the decision the right one. I made homeade brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts this weekend. I don't like all the filling - so halved it. Heavenly. And because I have more weight to lose - I only ate one. See? It can be done.

    recipe?

    Nice loss, btw. Here's the link - http://www.the-baker-chick.com/2012/03/21/cinnamon-brown-sugar-pop-tarts/

    ETA: the picture in my ticker is from the website.

    OMG the possibilities are endless here. I could make any kind of pop tart my heart desires!! I'm even contemplating a savory pop tart. Thank you!

    Sunshine, rainbows, and unicorn farts my horizons have been expanded.

    OP if you want to make these kind of pop tarts and share them then I would approve of your pop tart habit. Also think about the 1000's of calories that would be burned from standing over a hot oven vs. clicking that little button thing on a toaster.

    I was discussing savory pop tarts the other day. I have a site for that too, but I don't think I bookmarked it. I believe the link I posted earlier is where I saw that. Good luck!

    Case in point. No drama, just saying. If a message is delivered in an abrasive fashion it is less likely to be received. If you just want to be a keyboard warrior and shoot darts, help yourself. You have yourself a great day now.
    Thanks mom

    Quite welcome sweetie. Care for a poptart?

    I'll take a brownie for 200, Alex. :-P

    Lolz! Excellent comeback. Besides, brownies haven't gotten much love in this thread. magerum, what you got against brownies man??

    Good ones don't come in little travel packets like pop tarts! Otherwise, I've got nothing...

    Special brownies in Amsterdam do!

    I had "special" brownies back in college one time. :wink:

    (sigh) me too....... Those were some of the best times of my life. :wink:

    I wonder if they're anywhere near as good as meat doughnuts...

    They really are awesome. Like a regular deep-fried doughnut, only with a meat and rice filling. If I could think of a way to bring them to Indiana, I think I'd be rich.

    Nope. We lived in Finland for several months, and I used to get them at the grocery store. Cost .89 euro (or a little over a buck) from the in-store bakery.
