What's the worst thing you ever ate regularly pre-mfp?

A few months ago I had an entire large bag of Miss Vickie's jalapeño chips and a can of ginger ale for dinner. UGH, WHY.
I just calculated, and the bag of chips alone is around 1100 calories. That's nearly a whole days worth of calories for me now!0 -
When I was a little girl I wasn't a vegetarian yet, so I would love to stop at Mc Donalds and eat their Crispy mac Bacon with fries, coke and all the like. It honestly didn't even make me feel that full, so I would end up eating more later at home.
When I stopped eating meat I still used to eat lots of high calories foods anyway - I think it's not just about quality anyway, it's also about quantity. I've always been prone to binge eating, I would eat big quantities of regular foods instead of just stopping after feeling full. We used to eat pizza very often, I was able to eat 4-5 fried panzerotti (if you know what they are), or a few cheese toasts for dinner, when I could now eat a couple of them and be done for the whole meal. I also obviously used to overeat chips, sweet foods and such. I used to do this on daily basis, so I wonder how didn't I get even fatter. I should probably have been 100+ kgs if I think about it again.0 -
I ate tacos and burritos with soooooo much cheese. Cheese is my best friend but I have to limit her now. I could also eat a whole pizza with pepperoni, sausage, bacon, olives, and jalepenos with Parmesan cheese on top. A box of cheez-its were gone in a blink. I had to cold turkey those. And Oreos. Man do I love Oreos.0

During my freshman year of college (freshman 15 anyone?) I would get fast food almost every day for either lunch or dinner, and it would almost always be large/super sized. AT school I would either get a large french fry or large tater tot basket (wtf self) and ranch to eat in the student common room while studying.
GREAT brain food, I know. That went on for a almost full year. Never mind I didn't exercise. At ALL.
I could (and still can) put away a bag or chips at a time, and a whole roll of cookies (Oreo, chocolate chip, ect), which is why I don't keep them in the house.
Or cans of soda for that matter. Regular or diet.0 -
Bagels!0

as the saying goes my eyes were always too big for my belly... ofc my belly soon caught up lol
A whole Dominoes Large meateor pizza 2780 calories + a side of usually chicken strippers (450 cals) or a whole garlic pizza bread (550) + about 4 pots of their garlic sauce (about 100 for each pot)
= 3500 - 3800 in a single sitting, usually felt a little sick after, but I have an inability to waste food... even after losing weight which is why portion control was so evidently needed for me
Me too! Not the dominos pizza thing, but the inability to waste food -- resulting in crazy portions. I have to fight the voice in me that says, "that won't taste good reheated later, you should finish it off now."0 -
Whole bags of family sized chips. I'd keep em in my room and go through them within a day or two. Once they were finished I'd just go buy another one. :sick:0

Big Mac, Quarter pounder with cheese, large fries, mcnuggests... the girl threw a calorie guide at me when she realized I was the last one in line.. this was early 80's college, 3 AM. after bar... I don't think I got a cheeseburger too! OMG you HOG! And still, I can eat a whole pizza in one or two sittings or polish off a pound of spaghetti, with a couple of meat balls. AND we won't mention being 10 years old and having a contest with cousins to see who could eat the most raviolis. talk about eyes and stomach.. elementary school. grandmother would cook me anything I wanted... bacon and eggs or pancakes.. LOTS... then I'd stop at the corner store on the way to school for a hostess fruit pie or cupcakes. OINK.. OYE..0

Soda, tons. Probably a 2 liter a day. Didn't really even eat much just so much freaking soda my blood sugar was probably sky-rocketing :ohwell: haven't touched soda in almost two years though :flowerforyou:0
-
Ate the same thing. Just add a 2 liter of coke.
I still eat this. Just cut down on the soda.
:laugh: iifym right?0 -
This was routinely (like atleast once a week) my lunch or dinner:
Pizza Hut Honey BBQ Traditional Wings (8 pieces)
Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pizza Ham and Pineapple (whole pizza)
Pizza Hut Chocolate Dunkers with extra sauce (whole box)
Two 2liters of Pepsi
Calories: 4830
Sodium: 5735
After this I was frequently ready to eat more in about an hour...
I hear you.

Worst thing I ever ate?
A large water scorpion. Let me tell you, they taste horrible.
Oh... you said regularly! lol0 -
How did I feed me? Let me count the Lay's. I never did tingle for a Pringle, but I used to make big bags of Doritos disappear in one sitting; the only proof of their existence, the telltale orange stain left on my fingertips from the nacho cheese powder. At only 5' tall, I would leap tall supermarket shelves in a single bound to capture an elusive box of Stove Top (screw the turkey, I wanted to stuff myself). The best, though, was when I'd take my weekly tour of the local "Fast-Food Alley". It started with KFC. 3 pcs. extra crispy, white meat only, with a large side of mashed potatoes & gravy. Then, Burger King: 2 original chicken sandwiches, extra mayo, hold the lettuce. A large order of onion rings, and a Whopper with extra mayo, for dessert. Next stop, Taco Bell! Cheap eats were great. 6 soft tacos and 6 hard tacos (I'd eat the hard tacos as soon as I got home, but the soft ones were good reheated in the micro). Last but not least, good ol' Mc D's. Old McDonald may have had a farm, but I had money for the dollar menu! 2 double cheeseburgers, a 20-pc. chicken nugget box with BBQ sauce, large fries, and a large Diet Coke (I hate the taste of soda with sugar). I had a huge plastic tote bag so I could carry the goodies into the house. Calories, schmalories! I wasn't counting. And many times I consumed enough sodium to pin the needle on a Geiger counter. In a 4-hour feeding session, I could finish almost everything. I didn't binge, I just ate. One day, I just lost the desire to eat like this. I just didn't want it anymore. I haven't eaten fast food since 2004. Now, I make pizza out of cauliflower, chips from Daikon radish, and splurge on no-salt added cottage cheese and unbuttered popcorn.
After typing this, I can't imagine how I could have been so out of control. Sheesh. (But it sure tasted good!)

samoa girl scout cookies
New York style pizza
Sodas
You name it I was eating it like it was going out of style. Never again will I do that. It was ok when I had a matabolism of a teenager.0 -
The sheer volume of beer I would drink then the entire bag of Ruffles Sour Cream and Cheddar chips I would eat as a hangover consolation prize. Hangovers make me eat like a pregnant lady.
Those chips are straight up banned in my house.
Someone will always buy a bag and sneak it past me though. :grumble:0 -
It's a toss up between an entire package of Oreos and three tubes of Pringles. Those were my favorite one-sitting-snacks. After $20 worth of Taco Bell, of course.
ETA: It's truly hard to believe I only hit 238. I would do this a couple times a week!0 -
Blazing Onion California burger with fries and tartar sauce

Forgot there was also my trips to McDonalds. I was horrible.
Me: Big Mac Meal, please
Drive-Thru: You wanna super-size that?
Me: You're damn skippy, I do
Drive-Thru: Anything else?
Me: Well since you asked, go ahead and throw in a couple of those double cheeseburgers on the side. Love those little greaseballs.
THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh and of course, a huge-*kitten* diet coke. LMAO0 -
Butter, just straight butter. I can't have it in the house at all and whenever I do I find myself weakening and just taking a bite or smothering a little healthy cracker with it.0

Almost anything sweet. I am a baker and I could eat a pan of fudge or brownies throughout the day without batting an eye. I'd also stop at Dunkin Donuts twice a week and get two blueberry cake donuts and two milks. Any of my grandmother's casseroles or cooking in general I would just eat until I was stuffed and she's a southern mawmaw who cooks with buttermilk, butter, flour and cheese... all of that delicious bad for you stuff.0

UP until as late as a few weeks ago......around April 11th I was in school full time, had 10hour days, 5 days a week.
This is how i ate for a week:
Panera bread for oatmeal & turkey sandwich 3x per week
Mcdonalds for oatmeal or mcmuffin & chicken or cheeseburger sandwich 2 x per week
Geppettos delivery for dinner 3-4x per week......meatball sandwiches, pizza, chicken sandwiches
Thai food/Mexican food/Polish food delivery other nights....
Wow...and i can honestly say that none of the above food was worth it. It was all about convenience for me.
Eating like that for months on end left me feeling lethargic, bloated....grossed out at myself....but it easy to do with my schedule.
BUt those days are officially over.....hallelujah!0 -
I graduated from college not too long ago. That's where I gained all my weight. I would have a venti hot chocolate evreyday because there was a starbucks conveniently located in the library. When I got home I would either make dinner (I was the one who cooked out of my roomates) or I would by takeout (cause I really needed to study). But I would eat everything between chips, tons of protein, and I would drink probably at least 4 cans of coke a day. I had never really eaten so much fast food until I went to college. Didn't help that the college lifestyle catered to it, but it was my choice to consume. And me, who never was overweight, gained about 55 pounds over.0

A lot of sweets, and not in moderation. A piece of chocolate cake for a snack, then at lunch, then after dinner. Probably about 1200 calories without even realizing it! Or, three Ghirardelli brownies in one sitting.....hey they are small, right? But at 250 calories each, that's 750 for just a "snack".
It was stuff like that.0 -
OMG thats soooooo true! I love butter....i have an all time embarrassing story regarding butter! It was March, around 10pm-ish at night, I just got home, was dead tired, hungry....... and grabbed 2 pieces of bread a knife..and took the tub of CHALLANGE Butter with me to my bedroom.
I planned on eating the bread n butter then returning it to the fridge.....but i ate the food....and just fell asleep! I woke up with a tub of butter in my bed??!!! Wow, that was FIRST TIME MOMENT that i wont be repeating!
I wont buy quality sweet cream butter at all...just cannot be in the house.0 -

Good post because of the last bit.
Haven't read the others because it might set me off but maybe this embarrassing one hasn't been mentioned (not regularly, but several times prior to buckling down on MFP):
Velveeta & Rotel Tomatoes Queso with Fried Tortilla Chips. Hard to eat in moderation! Even then, say you call fourteen chips a serving, but then the fourteen tablespoons of queso alone (not counting chips) has 2625 mg of sodium (more than a day's worth). Not to mention 476 calories, and 21 g saturated fat (again, not counting chips).
Not giving in :-)0 -
a whole bag of chips day after day0

When I was about 14-15 me and my dad worked on Sundays 10-12 hours (he owns a mine) and we we're the only ones that would go to work, so every other sunday we would get a dozen doughnuts in the morning and eat them before noon, we would get the chocolate bars, cream filled, jelly filled, basically the worst ones, and split the dozen along with a 6 pack + of pepsi.
Pretty amazing i never gained any weight from it. but then again we were working (physical labor) for 10+ hours so thats probably why. doesnt mean it was in any way an okay thing to be doing. and i would never do it again, i can hardly stand to eat one doughnut now.0
