    I'm not very big on them I do like Brown Sugar Cinnamon frosted and they have to be toasted because if they aren't crunchy they're icky. However at the first sign of Fall I stock up on Pumpkin Pie flavor.

    I love sweets but Pop Tarts are too sweet for me. When I used to buy them, I would only eat the outer crust.

    Yuck! That's the nasty part. I break off all the crust that doesn't have frosting on it

    I HAVE ALL THE RAGE FOR THE OP! I spent all of the holidays combing through stores trying to find pumpkin cheesecake, couldn't find it ANYWHERE. And you have a stack of them in your photo!!!

    I'm bitter, I love pumpkin cheesecake and was so sad to not find it. The new cannoli was nice, but it wasn't the same :\




    Back on topic, nothing against pop tarts, but I can't justify eating all the sugar (at one time, at least).. I eat the special K thin bars and they're close enough with better macros imo

    So sorry, I cannot comply. I loathe the taste of Pop Tarts, and I dislike how they make me feel. But each to his or her own.

    I've never been a fan of Pop Tarts, even when I was a kid. Words like "Yuck" and "Ewwwwww" pop into mind whenever I see or hear anything about them. It's stupidly easy for me to resist Pop Tarts.

    I've found, lately, I do quite well having trail mix type snacks, and there's enough variety out there where I can minimize or eliminate the ones with candy or chocolate. Yes, I'll even start my day out with a pre-measured (yes, I pre-portion everything out into single-serving sizes using my handy-dandy food scale) serving of a "trail mix" and coffee.

    S'mores poptarts, baby. Slightly over-toasted. That's where it's at. I'll be in my happy place. *do not disturb sign*

    Oh gawd I forgot about that yummy goodness...

    RED VELVET POP TARTS?! S'Mores?! Apple Cinnamon?! And Cookie Dough? I'd bet money they're only in the States. Canada gets gypped again :(

    S'mores ones are in Canada but I have not seen the others. I only see the chocolate ones and fruity ones. No apple cinnamon which is sad.

    There's less sugar eating a doughnut. Why not start your day off eating 2 doughnuts instead of 1 poptart, there's less calories in them? Oh and these have to be the worst thing ever invented for a kids breakfast, come on now, really? Anything prepackaged that has a very long shelf life and filled with sugar isn't worth putting into our bodies. I'm surprised your not a diabetic eating two of these every day..lol

    That paragraph is so full of ignorance I'm not even sure where to begin. Not only do I eat two of them every day I also eat a pint of ice cream EVERY night.

    I want to be you!

    Nevermind.. scratch that.. I could never keep up with how many calories you eat.. I thought I was going to look at your diary and you eat ice cream and pop tarts within a reasonable amount of calories like 1500-2000, not 4000! How much do you weigh? pictures? goals? Just curious.

    I'm 5'10" 185lbs & I maintain at 3300 - 3500. I'm working on body composition right now or if you'd like to call it a super slow bulk, than you can call it that. (Gained 7 lbs in 6 months lol...)

    Curious, why do you believe my calories to be unreasonable?

    /gasp I have NEVER seen those in my stores!! I would so eat one if I had that flavor. Other than that, they aren't my thing. I'd rather have a toaster strudel!

    I will take a toaster strudel or 2 or 3 or 4 anyday!!

    Have you ever read the ingredients list and nutrition facts on the box? They're about as unhealthy as can be, and most of the ingredients don't even seem to be consumable...

    I found the pumpkin cheesecake at a 24 hour Wal Mart a couple of weeks ago. Holy crap is that good!

    I would like some clarification on that if you don't mind. Why do you say they're as unhealthy as can be?

    I love how people keep posting things like this. I don't think anyone here thinks of Pop Tarts as 'health food'. Do you think I eat them on a regular basis? No...

    BUT, I still enjoy them on occasion and don't feel bad about it. I'm sure not everything you eat is the epitome of health, and if it is... good for you... not all of us think food is 'bad' and can eat things in moderation AND achieve our fitness goals.


    I'll be over here in the corner eating my Pop Tarts, and then I'm going to scamper off and use my abs to wash some laundry.

    Where are you all when I needed you???! I wrote a post the other day about not depriving yourself and fitting in the foods you love and it was like it was the end of the flippin' world.

    I went off Pop Tarts when they stopped selling the brown sugar & cinnamon ones in Canada.

    It's too late for them to get me back, since I'm grain free now.

    If I mailed you a box from the US - you would eat them before you made it back to the house from the mailbox. Right????

    Poptarts are great! I use them as on the bike fuel.....they fit in the back pocket, don't get gooey or messy, and come in a variety of flavors. Perfect for long rides.
    They also make a great breakfast when backpacking.
