    what I put in my body is MY choice, it doesn't do anything to you-other than annoy you apparently. Some people eat 100% clean, some eat 75% clean, others don't eat clean at all, to each their own

    I soak all my food in bleach!!! 100% clean!!!!

    Love it! :D

    I would much rather have an egg and a piece of toast for about the same calories, but, as others have said, sometimes there just isn't time for a "proper" breakfast so I eat a protein or energy bar because I'm hungry and it's quick.

    Which reminded me that every time I see a protein bar or energy bar on one of my mfp friend's food diary, I want to yell NOOOOOO! When are we going to stop putting processed foods in our bodies?

    Which reminded me WHY my diary is PRIVATE and for my eyes and my progress ONLY. And it also makes me ask the question, When will people understand that WE ARE NOT ALL IDENTICAL and just because ONE person feels a certain way... not everyone does.

    I don't think they're evil but I look at the nutrition info and most of them are close to being candy bars with a lot of vitamins added in. I never buy them.

    This ^^ I'd rather eat a Snicker bar and get my vitamins somewhere else.

    I sooooo agree with your logic. For years I have tried to eat healthy 100% of the time and sure enough it would only last a few days.

    When they stop being delicious, convenient, and start actually being somehow unhealthy.

    So, probably never! :)

    That reminds me, I have a Clif Builder's Bar in my backpack....

    Psh. You should look at my diary. "Clean" eaters are horrified by it, but it's public anyway :laugh:

    I like the ones with all the nuts in them...the ones that are pretty much pure nuts (almonds, peanuts, walnuts, etc) with some gooey coating on them. I don't eat them often, but I don't see the harm in them every once in awhile. In fact, I kinda want one now...lol

    You can almost always find a healthy meal alternative in bar form, and when you can't...

    I like energy bars so there! :tongue:

    My macros will be different than your macros. No, one person is going to need the same 'energy' every time that maybe why there are so many 'energy/protein' bars out in the world. I like to find foods that have more Potassium than Sodium. I could ramble on about the benefits of Potassium, but I won't.
    The best answer to the OP is read, know, and share.
    It is a personal choice to be on this site.
    It is a personal choice to share one's food diary.
    It is a personal choice to look at friends/public food diaries.

    We all make choices some 'good' some 'bad' in this "journey" of life.

    I eat them regularly because they taste good! I don't believe in "good foods" and "bad foods." All food is nutritional within the context of a balanced diet.

    So, basically you're saying that a McDonalds is good food as long as I stay within the context of a balanced diet? I really think you need start reading more about what good nutrition is and learn what process food does to your body. In fact, a very simple and easy to understand, yet a brilliand documentary that sells you nothing but knowledge is Hungry For Change. Watch it and you'll how wrong your statement is.
    When are we going to stop putting processed foods in our bodies?

    Trust me, if I could I would, but at the present moment I can't afford eating unprocess food. I'm sure many other people can't afford it either.

    I wonder which part of a McDonald's Quarter Pounder is so processed. I mean, the bun is processed..... but that's because it's bread. Bread is processed grain. I guess ketchup would be "processed" too.

    So you think bread and ketchup ravage your body?

    You should stop getting your information from mass media "documentaries" designed to shock you.
