    I subbed my dinner for cheesecake, no regrets.

    Does anyone else replace a meal with something they can't squeeze in?
    I got home from a 10 hours shift, ran a radox bath and demolished a baked cheesecake.

      As long as you are in a calorie deficit or eating at maintenance for the day and you don't do it all the time I don't see any harm. My favorite Mexican restaurant will be at my work tomorrow for lunch and on Friday they are having red velvet cake with cream cheese icing (yes I think they are out to get me lol) so if I decide to indulge in either of those that is what I will do as well.

      I'm staying with my boyfriend at the moment, he gets two cakes AND dinner. I find it a lot easier to have my cake instead of dinner on those rough days where your cravings are wild. Morning coffee set me off when I saw these. :love:

      Yep, and with cheesecake too. But it does suck when you get hungry an hour later.

      Hah! I did exactly that last night.

      My remaining half slice of Cheesecake Factory caramel pecan turtle cheesecake for dinner (6pm). Did not get even remotely hungry again for hours, which is no surprise considering how rich that particular cheesecake is. And it has a rosette on top of what has to be pure chocolate frosting. Plus whipped cream.

      Around 11pm, I did feel a little peckish so I ate a hard boiled egg. Filled out my macros almost perfectly, put me over calories by ...

      wait for it ...

      a whole 18 cals.

      I have to admit I'm glad it's gone, though. That flavor cheesecake is going to be a once a year thing for me, if that. It was so rich it made me feel off. Now, the banana cream cheesecake ... that I could eat once a week for sure.

      Yes! I made a cheesecake for my boyfriend this past week and I had one slice (280 calories whaaaat?!?) It through off my day and I ended up eating a really light dinner. It was delicious but after having that one piece I'm just not that interested in it. lol. He's eaten half of it by himself. I'm gonna have to take the rest to work and feed my coworkers.

      I had a hot fudge sunday for dinner not to long ago. It was delicious.

      Just last night I ate a few servings of Tortilla chips instead of dinner. I just love those chips. May do it again tonight:)

      Sometimes you do what you gotta do. I had a lunch of Cheetos once.

      Yup! I do this too! But I've learned better than to make that substitution at lunch for dinner... ie "I'll eat this cheesecake now with my lunch and skip dinner" - this doesn't work for me. I get hungry at dinner. Meanwhile if I'd actually had the cheesecake FOR dinner, I wouldn't be left hungry.

      I have had tortilla chips, salsa and Corona for dinner on more than one occasion. Sometimes I add black beans to the salsa so it will be more balanced. :wink:

      I split that one with my husband last time. My favorite. SO GOOD.

      I did that in July after I went to Cheesecake Factory...half the slice at dinner (fine, we had a late lunch and it was Saturday which is my biggest walking day), and half for dinner the next day

      Not on a regular basis, but yes tonight dinner is 1/2 a macaroni grill chocolate cake with ganace and whipped cream and a glass of milk (gotta get the protein in there :)). 720 calories.

      Dairy Queen Banana Split for dinner -- it has bananas in it and those are a Real Fruit (TM), right? I think we all have those days, lol.

      Cookies and ice cream. Was worth the hunger 2 hrs later.

      All the time. I can't resist good Swiss chocolate and I just CAN NOT eat one piece. I eat the whole slab. But I'm weird because I get and stay full from sweets. So I can have that chocolate and actually not feel hungry until the next meal.

      I like you.

      I recently had ice cream with a homemade chocolate/peanut butter shell for dinner. No regrets. All the peanut butter. Well, only two tablespoons weighed out. But warm melted peanut butter with a half ounce of chocolate chips melted and mixed in on top of health bar ice cream? YES.

      I know that feeling! One year, my friends bought me an ENTIRE red velvet cheesecake for my birthday from the Cheesecake factory (I know...I was indebted to them forever because I know that wasn't cheap, and it was amazing). It was SO hard to try to finish it off. I was offering it to everyone because it was so rich, and I could only eat tiny slices at a time. Some of their flavors are really intense, and the actual slices are so heavy you feel like you can't even move, haha.
