    My lowest point had to be eating an entire large dominos pizza to myself with potato wedges and the garlic pizza bread :s

    I've always had a hard time not eating whole packages of things, so I would end up trying to buy individually wrapped portions. Sometimes it didn't work out so great. I'd eat an entire frozen pizza by myself. Or when it came down to ice cream, I'd eat an entire pint by myself. The worst habit I had was sitting down and eating an entire box of cereal in one go. Thankfully now I'm better about weighing and measuring my servings.

    For me I didn't really eat anything too bad it was more of how much I was eating. I'd have an omelet most mornings but it had 4 eggs and tons of cheese and some veggies with like 2 pieces of toast. Now I have it with 2 eggs a pinch of cheese and tons of veggies and sometimes I have toast.

    When I was a kid, I ate sugar packets. Packet included (maybe I wanted some fiber?). I remembered that last night and got nauseated.

    Nutella. Ugh. There is nothing nutritious about it despite their adds. I will take Peanut Butter & Co "Dark Chocolate Dreams" any day over that junk.

    Mostly it was the portion sizes I ate. My portion would be equal to what my kids ate combined.

    Pizza? Order 2 and 1 was mine and 1 was for them to share. Only thing remotely good about the pizza is I cannot eat cured meats without becoming ill - migraine trigger for me - so I almost always had just mushrooms and sometimes black olives. Ruffles and french onion dip was another huge thing for me. Ate all of it either in one sitting or in one day. And I used to hate chips before I got fat LOL. I always have had to have chips refrigerated - don't know why. I'm really losing my taste for any chips now.

    Probably my worst calorie bomb was the breaded mozzarella cheesesticks that you can bake or fry. I would buy the frozen big bag of them, dump about 1/2 the bag onto a sheet pan and cook them just for me. Then, I dipped them in a massive puddle of ranch.

    Now that I've cut out most processed food, a lot of these things no longer taste good at all. I still love pizza but only either homemade or from a quality italian place that makes their stuff right there fresh.

    Is it bad that I want to try some of these food combos? Lol Seriously, you guys are making me hungry!

    I can't eat an entire anything in one sitting, but what I tend to do is eat at it all day til it's gone. Cheese and sausage, package of Oreos, any type of leftovers. I can however drink an entire bottle of something in one sitting....followed by an entire meal.

    Macaroni and cheese mixed with a can of beef chili

    I used to do that! I moved out when I was 15 and didn't learn to cook, not well, until I was 19. When I was maybe 16/17 that was a staple for me... white cheddar Kraft Dinner and spicy Stagg chilli. I was working like 80 hours a week on my feet then though so I was fit as a fiddle no matter what junk I ate. I ate it so much that the convenient store next to my work always made sure to order them in for me. So yeah, that.

    1 1/2 pacs of chicken Top Ramen every single morning for 6 years. It had to have 3 giant shakes of Tabasco sauce and a handful of pork rinds. Clearly it was and addiction but when I quit eating it cold turkey last year, I lost almost 10 lbs in 2 weeks from all the sodium that left my body. The nutritional value never even occurred to me until I mentioned it to my doctor during a physical last year and I complained about always retaining water and not being able to lose weight. She educated me really quick.

    Any regrets I have about what I used to eat are strictly related to quantity and not quality.

    I used to eat ice cream (like a lot of ice cream) about four times a week. Now I have a little bit about once a month.

    How about 3 scoops with bananas and chocolate sauce almost every night

    Or huge bowl of cereal and then when I.got to work, 2 fried bacon egg and cheese sandwiches

    My highest calorie meal had to be a sausage egg and cheese mcgriddle meal with an extra sausage biscuit with grape jelly.

    Yeah I ate really bad

    The worse thing I would eat was a potato chip sandwich. 2 slices of white bread with lots of mayo and a bunch of sour cream and onion pringle chips. I also ate way to much sweets. I was once proud of eating and drinking nothing but chocolate for one day. Don't understand why I was proud of that. smh

    That sounds yummy lol

    I still eat a turkey sandwich, with chipotle mayo and spicy doritos. So yummy and I can fit it in my day

    Guess my butter sandwich confession belongs in this thread, too. o.0

    For the sake of adding something new - I used to order Indian food for delivery and get two dinners with a side of pita. I'd lie about needing more than one set of plastic ware to try and keep them from judging me. :#

    I still eat some variation of the things I used to, but I do sometimes cringe when I think about how MUCH I used to eat without even thinking twice about it. Like, literally not knowing or caring about calories. I used to get 20oz breve latte's almost daily. Those things are like half a day's worth of calories in one drink (around 800 calories)! Delicious, but definitely something I would have to do a lot of planning to fit in nowadays.

    Ice cream right out of the container. It wasn't unheard of (or even all that unusual) for me to eat an entire container of Ben & Jerry's Half Baked in a single sitting. According to MFP, that's 1,120 calories, 56g of fat, and 144g of carbs. And that doesn't even count all the food I ate that day... it was just dessert!

    A whole container of Ben & Jerry's ice-cream. Any other ice-cream I can moderate just fine. But Ben & Jerry's is just cruel in how delicious it is and how easily the whole container is gone.

    AGREED!

    I'm learning a lot in this thread. For instance, I didn't know that there were people that did not eat the entire Ben & Jerry's pint! Every pint of ice cream I've ever purchased (and most likely will ever purchase), was with the intention of a single serving.

    I thought if they don't want you to eat all the donuts, they shouldn't put six in a package. :)

    I still eat everything I used to eat, just smaller portions. Somethings I know I can't have in the house because I know I have a problem with (Nutella is one of them).

    Mary Brown's chicken...What I called "The Brown Plate." Chicken...taters...gravy. Brown (deep fried) chicken, brown taters, and brown gravy. And then I would put salt on it. (Insert eyeroll here.)

    I tried it not to long ago...and was instantly sick.

    A huge serving of granola with yogurt or milk. Rice with a mango chutney and crème fraîche sauce for dinner. A whole tub of chocolate covered raisins/B&J ice cream/you name it.

    Any packaged food that has 27+ ingredients listed on the label. Even after I hit my goal weight I can't go back to eating that crap (trivia: the McRib sandwich has 70 ingredients).

    I would go to the drug store and buy skittles, m&m peanuts, twix, chewy sweettarts, mike&ike, peach rings, crunch & munch, red hot potato chips and lemonheads on a regular basis. I would eat most of that in one sitting. Occasionally I would add in the single sleeve of oreos. I steer clear of all of that now. I am very compulsive when it comes to candy so I just say no.

    The scary part is that it doens't fill you up. Dangerous combo when you can mindlessly chew and not get full.

    Just ate a bagel with butter, that thing is so not worth all those calories.

    The thing thats really made me wary is pizza, because unless I have a whole one its not that filling. One slice is underwhelming. I am always in for the extra toppings as well, so when you look at the calories its thousands, especially if it was at home. Cheese, meat and flour all go towards making it calorie heavy.

    OMG! That is exactly how I feel about it. Pizza is my kryptonite.
