I worked at Cinnabon in the mall for about a year. We were allowed 1 free bun per shift, and I took full advantage of that. :S If I remember correctly it was something like 800 calories, PER BUN! So there was that, but my number one weakness - burgers and fries... McDonalds, A&W, my favourite chip truck... Very shortly before I started eating better, I remember counting 11 days in a row I had burgers and fries for dinner. I counted because I knew it was wrong, but I just couldn't stop myself!!!0

sugar!!! I eat it like the cookie monster! If i stay away from it, i only have issues with alcohol and eating after alcohol (but that can be controlled, i would never eat pizza, maccas, KFC sober) Sugar, I have no control, lol.0

All of them... because I ate a lot!0

My biggest problem was portion control, but here are my former favorite high calorie foods. I didn't cut them out completely (for the most part) but I definitely cut back.
1) Super burritos - Mission style, delicious, and probaby 1,000 to 1,400 calories.
2) Giant peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Now I measure/weigh and still enjoy a modified version with natural almond butter and no sugar added jam.
3) The Costco ice cream bars. 840 calories. Even though I used to split them with my ex, that's a ton of calories right there.0 -
I used to put shredded cheese on tortillas, roll them up, and then microwave them until the cheese was melted. Then, I'd dip/scoop them in sour cream. I'd make six for dinner/snack almost every night.
After I joined MFP, I calculated how many calories those were and practically choked. I haven't made them in several months and don't plan to (they're kind of addictive).
I used to drink 60 ounces of regular soda every day. I can't believe how many calories I used to waste on soda. I can't stand it now. After drinking nothing but water and the occasional diet soda, regular is way too sweet for me.0 -
There's no such thing as bad food, just people who eat badly!!
That's not accurate. There are plenty of bad foods that have no nutritional value whatsoever. I agree with your assertion, however. People choose to eat them regardless of the health benefits contained within them, and over time become fat.
Fat does not make you fat. It's an excess of carbs / sugar that create excess fat stores in your body when one's lifestyle is sedentary and does not burn those same calories on a regular basis.
no. its not just an excess of carbs/sugar. you gain gain fat from a calorie surplus, which includes an excess of fat, carbs and protein. there is no single one that will cause you to gain weight if you aren't in a surplus.0 -

Well, lets see...I was eating McDonalds every single day for breakfast and lunch when I was in high school, because it was across the street. I gained a ton of weight my sophomore year, and when I moved out of my parents place at the end of my junior year, I stopped eating so much junk-especially at home, because that's all they ate. I wasn't until my senior year that I completely cut fast food out, and I can't believe the weight I lost from just not eating a McMuffin and McChicken everyday! Haha. I can honestly say, I feel SO much better without that food. I don't blame McDonalds for me gaining weight, I blame myself for inhaling it every single day! WHAT WAS I THINKING?! Haha.0
