pie
pizza
donuts
pop tarts
cheeseburgers

there is nothing wrong with ANY food. eaten in moderation, you can include any food you like into your diet. there is no benefit in deprivation diets. food is simply fuel. it's a delivery system for your micro- and macro-nutrient requirements. so long as you are getting adequate amounts of nutrients, where the nutrients come from is completely irrelevant.

i don't understand why people come to MFP or other calorie counting sites with archaic deprivation diet mindsets. are logic, common sense, and critical thinking more rare in today's world than i presume them to be? :huh:

    You should most DEFINITELY avoid ALL of those foods--except PopTarts







    ...if you are wearing a crisp white shirt. Unless the doughnut does not have a filling or lots of messy topping on it, in which case, why are you eating it?

    I feel like this is all made up so people can start threads about it. I really don't think I see a lot of posts about it, and if I do it's people just asking about it, and then a whole crowd of people asking them why the heck they wouldn't eat pizza, because they eat it 12 nights a week, and lost weight. It really is just one of those threads along with bacon, starvation, and I lift heavy why don't you, that people make to call out fictional people so the popular people will reply with cheers, well done, so true, and things like that.

    Why do you care what other people do? Go eat your cheeseburgers and pop tarts. That shiznit goes straight to my *kitten*...

    Thanks for caring.

    False. Always avoid pop tarts and donuts, they are crap. Pie, pizza and cheeseburgers should be avoided if they are not made with quality ingredients, because why waste calories on crappy food.

    You can avoid any food if you don't like it. Or if you feel it doesn't work for your diet or lifestyle. Or you're morally opposed. Or you just don't think it's worth the money. My favorite food is of the Nunya variety. Nunya business.

    Your definition of crap and mine must be very different because I happen to find pop tarts and donuts to be delicious. And sometimes, I really like cheap, crappy pizza. Papa John's is my favorite.

    There are times I want something "artisanal" or "hand crafted" and there are times that I want something covered in gooey cheese and dripping in grease. Why can't I have both?

    To each their own right?

    maybe i was being a bit of a smart aleck with my title, but i never, ever mentioned that this thread was directed at any specific person on this site.

    I can see that. These "5 foods to avoid????!?!?!?" questions come up at least once a day (probably based on the banner ad that comes up and looks like an MFP article).

    Oh, thought it was made up to get curious people to click links to adverts.

    Absolutely right. If you want to eat crap or two pizzas, that is your business. If everyone stopped eating crap a lot of people would lose their jobs. But, that Papa John dude only uses quality ingredients. He told me so on TV.

    Pie... ew. Happy to pass. Pop tarts? Never had one. Never seen them in the shops here. Would defo try them though.

    Now.

    Pizza - stonebaked, thin based and preferably from a Pizzeria. Yes. All of the yes.

    Doughnuts - Sugar coated, filled with custard. Get in my face you sexy mofo.

    Cheeseburgers - are life. A half pounder with cheese and salad and fresh mustard and quality tomato sauce.... mmmmmmmmm

    Agreed, though I don't like pop-tarts or cheeseburgers and I can take donuts or leave them.
