I think this is good: I like to incorporate a snack or two into my daily calories. When I say a snack I mean even häagen daz.
The rest of my calories are typically "healthy" ones. Wondering how others feel about this? Do you incorporate snacks into your daily?

    As long as you're in your calories and hitting your nutrients, then that's awesome :)

    My snacks are usually along the lines of seeds, fruits, nuts.
    I consider ice cream and cake and cider to be treats.
    And yes, if they fit my calorie goal, then I have them :)
    Sometimes even if they don't fit within my goal :laugh:

    Exactly what I do. I weighed 202 after giving birth, and weigh 135 now. It's all about moderation :-)

    when i first started watching what i ate, i got a little obsessive and wouldn't let myself indulge at all. i could feel this attitude leading towards a binge - or doing what i've done in the past... which is make one so-called 'mistake' and just give up. but a few weeks ago, i realized... hell - if i can work it into my calories and practice moderation and a little self-control, there's nothing wrong with eating what i might be having a craving for.

    Well if it's Häagen-Dazs, think you're doing it right! Especially if you're staying within your calories. Love their tart frozen yogurt.

    I like to work in a beer or two, along with things like fried chicken, pizza, and Egg McMuffins. Wendy's Triples don't count as "snacks" or "treats" because they have a great macro profile.

    When people ask me what I eat, I always tell them I eat whatever I want. It's the truth. It's all about quantity versus specific food type. Find something with a good macro profile and stick with it and you'll be just fine. Haagen Daaz is okay! Triple meat burgers are okay!

    As long as you aren't going way over calories every day and you're still reaching your goals, then eat whatever makes you feel satisfied. Just be mindful of how much you're eating.

    I have some dark chocolate pretty much every single day. It's budgeted for in my calories and I don't feel bad about it even a tiny bit. It's dark chocolate because that's what I like to eat but if I preferred jelly beans that's what I would be allowing for.

    Same here. Typically it's chocolate or ice cream.
