    If you eat only one serving and log it accurately, and make sure it fits in with your calorie count, you'll be fine. I imagine pudding has a lot of sugar, so if you're specifically watching sugar then it may be bad, but with calories, you can let yourself have a little dessert and not worry.

    just eat it in moderation and budget it into your calories...can't deprive yourself completely :smile:

    Depends on what you eat for the rest of the day.

    Respect your calorie goal.
    Eat enough of every food group (fruit, veggies, meat, cereal, etc.)

    Bad, in what way? I doubt it would be considered a "health food", but I've never heard of anyone dying from eating a box of butterscotch pudding, As for weight loss, if you stick within your calories it shouldn't hurt that either.

    bad?

    I use it. I like the boxes you mix yourself and I make it with water instead of milk. I like the flavors that go well with fruit and mix it in fruit salad.

    In my world, pudding is good. Especially butterscotch (you have excellent taste). I try not to eat it all the time though :)

    It's only bad if it has green stuff growing on it....

    MFP gives you a number. As long as you don't consistently go over that number, you should lose weight.

    You can eat whatever you want. Try to make as many "good/healthy" choices as possible, but don't be afraid to eat stuff you want sometimes too.

    Life happens. Pudding happens. You shouldn't be afraid of food - or that one cup of pudding will ruin you. Eat "junk" in moderation and you'll be fine.
