    I am not dieting, but have been craving and eating babies a lot lately. Maybe I am pregnant?

    That's definitely one of the symptoms. You need fresh baby parts to help gestate one of your own.

    Grilled skinless chicken breast is tasteless and claggy - definitely one of the worst things I've eaten.

    You're doing it wrong.

    I think it's a question of personal taste - it's a big hit with the other people in my house. Me, I let them have mine. It's not often I refuse food, believe me!

    Just out of interest, how do you do yours?

    All kinds of different ways, actually. Sometimes on the grill with a rub, either creole or other type of garlic, peppery concoction. More likely cut up into strips (feathers) and marinated into a hot sauce / sriracha sauce.

    On the stove top, I usually sauté some onions and brocoli into the chicken, and then sriracha the crap out of it and put it inside a wrap. So very good.

    I don't categorize food as "good" or "bad." I just get my nutrition on and my fitness on...once those obligations have been met, it's whatevs...

    Thanks. Yeah, cutting it up and including it in saucy, casserole-y things is the only way I can really see myself enjoying it.

    When it comes to the weekends i give myself a treat, and have something like a Dunkin's coffee coolatta, or a soda. But last weekend i really overdid it ! Had a graduation party i went to, and had peanut butter pie, 3 mixed drinks(ginger ale & whipped vodka), and triple chocolate fudge cake!!!!

    I've had a few blow outs usually with Chinese food. But the worse thing I've eaten was Brown rice protein powder.

    OMG, you are not kidding!!! Rice protein powder is TERRIBLE. Then I tried another vegan protein powder which was supposed to be the best...................NEVER, never again!!!!

    I'll keep it real and admit I am trying to adhere to the Merriam Webster definition of diet: "a regimen of eating and drinking sparingly so as to reduce one's weight," even though I have been pursuing a much healthier lifestyle over the last several months.

    Worst tasting: Coconut water ... I can't get into it.
    Worst nutritionally: Churro filled with dulce de leche ... so unbelievably amazingly delicious with no redeeming value as food, unless you are a famine victim and really need the calories.

    Cake, pie, ice cream, chocolate chip pancakes...oh, wait, since I started dieting?! That was just the treats I ate yesterday :laugh: and not a cheat meal. I was under.

    1/3 of a container of Ben & Jerry's Everything But The... ice cream yesterday. Somehow I just had a major urge to splurge. I don't see what I do as "dieting," though, so nothing is forbidden. The bad thing wasn't eating it but that I wasn't able to get out for a run to work it off.

    Have to be the equivalent of about 4 rolls of Sushi when my team at work was treated by management to an all you can eat sushi lunch last Friday. (Low fat but it was a lot of white rice all at once).

    At least it was really good sushi. Have to get back to being better this week.

    ...WHAT? Is that on their regular menu, or a "special"?

    It was AYCE and you only had 4 rolls?

    If people are just equating high cals with bad, then mine would prob be 25ish burgers + ice cream + donuts + beer

    I won't say "worst" since food is food. Some is healthier, some is less healthy.

    But the Fro Yo thing is a regular treat for me and my hubby on date night.

    That and alcohol. On our Honeymoon in Playa del Carmen, we had a bar at EVERY pool, every beach, in our room, at every restaurant. All you had to do was tip. fantastic. We consumed more alcohol in one day than we usually do in three-four days...and it was awesome.

    Worst singular item I have eaten since losing 50 lbs is chocolate chip paradise pie at Chilis. I have read it is at least 1600 calories even though myfitness pal puts it at 1,250. I ate it along with texas cheese fries, boneless buffalo wings, steak fajitas, and half a free chocolate milkshake. I have no idea what that meal ended up adding up to.

    One bad day, hell even a few bad days will not make you fat. At least they do not in my experience.

    High calories is bad, but that doesn't do it for me. My hot dog was processed meat with trans fat. The 2 worst things to eat IMO.

    I tried one of those Walden Farms 0-calorie dressings once. It was rancid.

    oh no! I just bought that! LOL

    Father's Day. Made my DH dinner. Saved the calories all week and splurged big time.

    Prime steak with roasted new potatoes stuffed with smoked salmon and mascarpone cheese. Side of micro green salad with roasted pear and goat cheese. Finished it all off with a dark chocolate and bacon cake with maple frosting. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 calories for just that meal.

    Pasta Carbonara the week before came in a close second.

    Yum!!!!!!

    Worst thing I've eaten as in flavor or calories?

    Calories is probably an entire to go thing of Chinese food... but it was delicious!

    Worst flavored thing was some spinach I way over cooked and it was just rubbery and tasted really odd. I like my spinach barely cooked, raw is best.

    I don't ban foods, so I guess a lot of things. Recently though would be probably atleast 70% of a BJ's Pizookie.

    not on a diet, diets are bad for you, lifestyle change is the way to go. but the worst thing I've eaten in the last 4 years is red velvet cake during the holidays, because i have no willpower against the damn stuff.

    Diets are not bad. I've been on diet since Jr. High when I first started caring about my looks. I believe wholeheartedly that it's why I never became obese, why I spent the majority of my adulthood a thin person and why I currently don't have the health problems many others my age have.

    i wouldn't really call that a diet though, that is what i consider a lifestyle change. diets in most people's eyes are a temporary thing to achieve a goal, and not very sustainable.

    I ate a poptart and ice cream sandwich. Got the recipe off MFP forum! It was peanut butter and choc pop tarts with buter pecan ice cream. Did it two days in a row! Ate like a rabbit all day to have room for that 500 calorie dessert.

    A "change" sounds more temporary than a diet. How long can you be changing something before it ceases to be a change. I haven't changed my diet in decades, and changes I have made have been minor tweaks. When asked if I'm on a diet my answer has and always will be "Always".

    The bug that flew into my mouth while I was running :sick:

    It was disgusting and got stuck in the back of my throat :sad:

    I had to flush it down with my water:frown:

    OMG. This made me laugh, but only because I have had something similar happen. So, so gross.
