There's a lot of angry people on these forums due to their misery that other people can indulge and maintain their goals whilst the "healthy" elitists eat tasteless kaka and have to pretend they like it. I even see this at my gym. Sometimes I'll have a Snickers bar as my post-workout snack and some people will act like I killed their pet. If these people were actually happy with their healthy lives, they wouldn't get so offended.
Um. Yeah-no. We just object to the idea that everyone can and should eat junk food. I think it is hilarious that I have now been accused of avoiding sweets as "an excuse"??? Whaa??? It's like some of the people here have stock in McDonald's and Kellogg Corp. and we are avoiding doing our patriotic duty in diligently avoiding foods that make us less healthy. :laugh: :laugh:0 -
You could easily fit things like ice cream and cheesecake into 1360 calories a day and still hit quality macro goals.
Your excuse that you just can't fit it is invalid.
Right now I have my goals set at 1800 calories and my favorite ice cream is 1,040 calories for a pint and let's just say a pack of poptarts is 400 calories...On a 1360 intake, I would be over just from those two things.
Yes it is very possible to fit a serving of ice cream into 1360 calories and still hit your targets but it seems like the implication of this post is "I can eat a pint of ice cream and a pack of poptarts every day and still lose weight" and for most of us, that isn't true.
That was the point of the OP if it fits with in your caloric intake and Macro's then by all means have what foods you enjoy... The OP daily intake even in a deficit is a little over 3200 so a pint of ice cream and a couple pop tarts would fit with in his day.. but even a person eating 1300 calories a day can fit in some ice cream and whatnot just not in the same quantity....0 -
Even though I am a foody I totally agree IF you can start eating this stuff and stop. You got it made! However I cant really well. Somedays I can and do though and I am learning if my eating seems out of control for the day then I STOP eating protein shake bowl of soup water and BED sounds nuts but we should all learn how to eat a poptart if we love them or will you keep denying yourself and then eat a couple boxes of them. Discipline is a learned characteristic hats off to foodys that eat what they want.. I am learning slowly but surely.0

Nobody's saying that you 'should' eat junk food. But a little bit is not going to kill you. I see people who keep binging, all the time, because they just can't stick to a junk-free diet . Frankly I'd be more likely to binge and less likely to stick to it if I had to eat well all the time. That would suck. As I said, this way I'm not depriving myself. But if you can eat well 100% of the time and not binge, good for you I guess. I'll still enjoy my 100 calorie ice cream bar (but I will most likely not eat much more than that, and I find pop tarts gross!).0 -

Enjoy your CVD and diabetesSome people just want to lose weight.
Some people want to actually be healthy.
Enjoy your crappy processed foods.
Enjoy the view from your high horse.
HAHAHA I wish I had a Thumbs Up button for that one..
I too believe in not deprieving myself but watching my portions. I'd much rather steadily lose than deprieve myself and end up binging and jumping off the wagon. IF you chose to eat clean and unprocessed foods great for you but this site was intended to be a motivational site and not one to knock someone down. There are plenty of people out there that continue to lose or have lost by eating which you call dirty foods or processed foods. Obviously clean eating isn't the only way to eat and lose.0 -

But what of the phyto-nutrients that I am bumping out of my diet in order to accommodate said ice cream? I'd rather not invite cancer into my life either, thank you very much.0 -
Pop Tarts aren't food. They're edible chemicals. I'd rather eat food.
The pizza, however.... oh.0 -

That is one confounded correlation based on faulty cause and effect to say the least.

Good thing "food" is devoid of chemicals0 -
Eating ice cream everyday is not moderation and is ridiculous, for anyone actually even someone not trying to lose weight.
it is moderation if you limit yourself to the 1/2 cup serving size suggestion instead of the 3 cup bowl you used to eat0 -

So you're saying if you had a half-cup of ice cream, at say...150 calories...somehow you're going to lose SO MANY nutrients that you're going to increase your risk of cancer?0 -
Enjoy your CVD and diabetes
My first reaction, too. But to eat his own, right?
If you are happy with the outside, who really cares about the inside? (I do!)0 -
Moderation is key. If you can do it, then do it. Also, wanted to point out that it is much harder for women to lose weight eating all the empty calories, not because we cant- but those things aren't as filling and I think our hormones kick-in some.0

You are a 65 year old arthritic woman. What appliies to you doesn't necessarily apply to the vast, vast majority of people on MFP. Sometimes people just have energy needs. How is it going to benefit someone any more if they have already achieved several hundred percent more of a nutrient than needed? You don't get extra credit.0 -
Looks good to me. unless you ate it all on the floor with yours hands.:laugh:Weight loss is to become healthy. So why eat like a slob?

If someone wants to indulge and can still maintain their goals, why does it bother you so much? Why get your knickers in a twist about it? You should mull that over a pint of delicious rocky road.0 -

The pizza, however.... oh.
Oh noes chemicals!! Like carbohydrates, proteins and fats, for example?
Oh, and in for the food porn. Where is all the food porn today?0
