Eating Pop Tarts and ice cream daily.

I eat Pop Tarts and ice cream daily. I'm able to lose weight and/or maintain while doing this, without issue. My blood panels are absolutely great. Just wanted to share; you can eat what you want and hit your goals. Proceed to flame and hate. Thank you.

no **** because you eat 4,000 calories so the ice cream and pop tarts make up a very small % of your calories.

in someone eating 1200 or 1600 or even 2000 calories, they make up a much larger percentage of intake - and thus are more of a problem. lol

I don't see where my caloric intake came into this? When I eat less calories, I eat less pop tarts and ice cream. I don't stop all together. The point?

how many pop tarts do you eat daily (on average)?

2 most days. My diary's open. The last couple days are a bad example, been hitting 4 or so.

perfect. so you unwrap one package and eat them both right?

so does everyone else.

in a 4,000 cal diet that doesn't make any difference.

in a 1,200 cal diet, that same two pop tarts makes a significant difference.

So if you on a 1,200 diet only eat 1. You can have your tart and eat it too. Moderation.

and what do you do with the other one? have you ever heard of someone not eating both pop tarts? ever?

I only eat one if one is all that fits into my macros. I only had one yesterday as I also wanted cheesecake and ice-cream so could only 'afford' one...so one I ate.

Ummm...you people know that you're arguing about freakin Pop Tarts right...and like regular rectangle shaped ones...not ones chewed into the shape of that evil killer "The Gun"

Eat a freakin Pop Tart if you want to eat a Pop Tart...otherwise...don't. If you don't like them eat a toaster strudel...if you don't like that evil "dirty foods" fine, go eat some grass and berries.

Sometimes it sounds like some of you people need medication, and for all of you "clean eaters" who are against all the evils of processed foods and crap...move to Colorado and chill on some natural herbs.

Breath people...breath! It's all going to be ok.

Also...because it's the internet and cat pictures and stuff...



Now...someone said Sugar Cookie Pop Tarts earlier....

Alright. I've made my point here. Y'all know what I'm saying. You can agree, or not. Up to you.

:flowerforyou:

Your point was a fallacious argument. NOBODY said eat whatever you want without any regard to other nutrients. NO ONE recommended eating 1200 calories/day or eating 1/4 of your calories in pop tarts. Those were conclusion you came to all on your own.

Including foods like Poptarts can be part of a healthy diet.

and what do you do with the other one? have you ever heard of someone not eating both pop tarts? ever?

We wrap it right back up and put it back in the box. I don't feel it is appropriate when my children get their occasional pop tart that they eat both pieces. They get one and the other one goes back in the box. They have never complained about it - probably, because there are plenty of times that I will eat just one and put the other one back.

I get the feeling that CoachReddy has gone tens of thousands of rounds with you guys.



Yes, a Porsche will run on the cheapest fuel. But why pour the low end stuff into the tank in the first place? Oh, it's cheaper.

Or "easier", in human terms.

I believe that is why I have zip lock sandwich bags.... Sometimes both doesn't fit into my calorie goals......

IF I had self control i'd stick it in the freezer for tomorrow. I'm just saying you can make it work if you really want to. I wouldn't want 1/4 my calories coming from tarts. LOL I also agree about the malnourished part, plenty of obese people who are malnourished.

OM MY GOD. Why am I not freezing some Pop Tarts??!?!?!?!?! Thank you.

Frozen is my favorite way to eat them.

Kelloggs Pastry Crisps: The smaller version of poptarts for those of us who can't only eat one...only 100 calories for a pack!!

The brown sugar cinnamon ones taste just like brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts!! YUM

Actually it wont run. The timing will be all off and the cylinders will destroy the valves. Just sayin'.

Somebody thinks they are a Porsche. If I put premium in my Datsun will it become a Ferrari?

***Still laughing at this. Well done sir. Well done.

Correction: YOU can eat what you want and hit your goals.. Good for you. Do what works for you. But there are those of us who simply will not have enough calories to actually get enough nutrition with such decadence. The whole "eat more to lose weight" works for some people but for others it does not.. I spent a year working with a nutritionist and we wound up having to go very low on calories before I started losing... EVERY BODY IS DIFFERENT.

Also, you created a post to brag about how you can eat Pop Tarts and ice cream? Does it somehow make you superior?

Can someone please come to my house and make these for me?

This thread is seriously making me crave poptarts but my gluten intolerance is cruel and I'm terrible at baking.
I'll give you just about anything.

If you can find a gluten free pie crust (I don't know if you can pick them up frozen like you can the ones with gluten), you can just take that, cut it into whatever shape you want and put whatever jelly, pie filling, jam you like and put the top on, push the edges together and put in the over for a few minutes. I do that sometimes for the kids.

I don't like pop tarts just too sweet for me, but this thread is awesome :drinker: Some people just don't get it. People need to stop categorizing food as "good" or "bad' when are you going to learn...Moderation, Moderation, Moderation.

I'd like to take a minute to thank the OP. Your thread kept me LOL at my desk. I've spewed water all over my desk. Well it needed a good wash anyways.

WORST METAPHOR EVER.

WORST METAPHOR EVER.

I hadn't seen a Datsun before. Cute little buggers.
