Everyone has one. That favorite meal that you know is HORRIBLE for you, but you just can't help yourself.

Mine was beef ramen with italian sausage cooked and cut up in one giant bowl (ramen minus the water, just pour the salty mix over the cooked noodles!) I look back on that meal (which I ate every day for like.. a year when I was broke!!) and think how is my poor heart still functioning??

What are some of your favorite garbage meals?

Also, what's your new favorite healthy meal? :)

    A couple of weeks ago I went to BK for the first time in around 2 years or so. I had a whopper jr. w/ cheese and fries. It was delectable.

    Favorite "healthy meals" are my breakfast (simple egg white and egg omelet w/ turkey bacon & toast) or mid-morning meal (oatmeal with a little sugar and peanut butter with a chocolate whey drink to wash it down).

    I also love the days when I have the inclination to make an enormous greek salad to eat with my dinner.

    Pizza. Our local pizzeria has "Death By Pizza" (Pepperoni, Canadian bacon, sausage, pineapple, beef, mushrooms, olives, onions, green peppers, & bacon bits). If I can fit it into the budget; monetary and caloric... Oooh Rah!

    Oh... healthy meal... Umm... almost everything I eat. :smile: Even when I wasn't watching calories we ate healthy-ish foods; just had had portions that were too large.

    10 piece nuggets, large fries, and a large coke from McDonalds. With Hot Mustard dipping sauce. I think I would puke if I ate it now. New fav? Using humus or fat free refried beans on my pita bread in place of mayo. LOVE IT!

    Not so much a meal, but my favorite bad food is strawberry frosted poptarts....I know they are just sugar and weird chemicals, but they are so delicious!!!!

    my favorite healthy meal probably had to be whole wheat toast with a little bit of peanut butter and banana slices on it...yum!

    good question, mine isnt so much a meal but i guess it could be... chips and salsa/chips salsa and cheese it can be melted in the microwave or just right out of the bag and jar. HA and i ate this everyday for about a year too lol until i realized what i was actually putting into my body! a bunch of salt fat and carbs.

    Favorite healthy meal, wow so many its hard, but for the past year this is my go to quick meal... a boca burger original vegan with ketchup and mustard and still the occasional tortilla chips and salsa but only atparties now, if i keep it in the house i eat waaay too much, def a trigger food for me.

    Oh thanks, now I am absolutely CRAVING chinese food! Ahhhhhhh

    OP my favorite bad food was fettucine alfredo from Olive Garden, WITH the breadsticks, DIPPED in alfredo sauce. That meal has enough calories and fat for 2 whole days or so LOL. I will actually never touch it again. I will make healthi"er" alternatives LOL

    My other favorite, is sushi, so thank GOD for that and that I can still have it haha

    Baked ziti (with regular pasta, not the healthier whole wheat stuff, and tons of gooey cheese) served with garlic cheese bread (made on a hoggie roll in the pizza oven). I haven't been to the local place that makes that cheese bread in more than 6 months. I don't think I could limit myself to one piece, I'd end up binging & eating the whole thing. I think gooey, garlicy cheese may be my biggest temptation.

    Pasta! And lots of it. A huge pile of pasta with pesto, alfredo, or hearty marinara with plenty of Italian sausage. *drools* Or Chinese food, and the inevitable seconds (sometimes thirds) that come with the Chinese takeout territory.

    As far as my favorite healthy meals, I fortunately LOVE salads, just try and resist the urge to load them with all the things that defeat the purpose of salads, like high calorie dressings and croutons, cheese, etc. Maybe add some grilled chicken or tuna with very little mayo. And I still try to work in my favorite Italian sauces, like I did for dinner tonight by putting a hearty marinara sauce over spaghetti squash rather than pasta, and not overdoing it on the parmesan cheese. Also, I'm not sure how healthy sushi is, with all the white rice, but I know I feel way less guilty after binging on sushi (staying away from tempura obviously) than I do on, say, a gooey, drippy cheeseburger with fries and a shake. Oh, and lowfat cottage cheese with strawberries is my favorite thing for breakfast.

    those things have enough calories to be considered a meal...

    My homemade Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese, so rich and delicious. Luckily I'm the only one that can make it, so it's easier to resist temptation.
