This is genius. I never tried burning them. Next time I go camping I will impale one on a stick and shove it directly into the campfire. Then if it still tastes bad to me I will just throw the whole pack into the fire and laugh as they burn lol XD
So someone posted the chocolate covered peep earlier, reminded me of the chocolate covered marshmallows you can get from Trader Joe's, those are sooooooooooo gross.0 -

I think, for some people, there is a disconnect between
"Eat whatever you want as long as it fits in your cals/macros."
and
"Find ways to balance foods you enjoy with other foods for an overall healthy, balanced diet."
The first applies to weight loss and is, if I'm not mistaken, IIFYM by the letter of the law.
The second is a more reasonable, responsible approach generally applicable to the masses.
yes, but if you hitting your cals/macros it is going to be almost impossible to do it with 100% donuts, ice cream, etc...you would still need some chicken, vegetables, rice, whole grains, to balance it out...
False.
This is my go-to day. Certainly not everyday, but this is pretty indicative of my typical eating. Sure, it's not all donuts and ice cream, but there are no fruits, no veggies, no whole grain, etc.
sorry to interrupt the 'mallow love fest, but i've got a serious question. would this diet be considered healthy? i mean, he's hitting all his macros without and fruits or veg but people on both sides stress the importance of produce and whole grains. or is this diet lacking because perceived lack of micronutrients?
He's taking a daily multi. Unless we want to argue about how those vitamins are being absorbed, it's probably making up for any deficiencies in the diet.0 -

No. If you go back like 5 pages before the thread turned into a giffest, that was the point. It's not considered healthy despite being at my calorie goal for the day and being on target with my macros.0 -
aaaaannnnnddddd now I hate you. I want to be able to eat that many carbs and yummy cereals but my genetic predisposition for my body to store fat when I eat carbs or sugar says I cant
*pout lip*
Cannot believe that nobody commented on that little special snowflake who doesn't work like science.
And now I want a pulled pork sandwich too.

I thought about it, and then decided that no, I'd better not. I've done enough damage here today.
Plus the optimist in me was hoping that she was being sarcastic.0 -

I personally would not find it worth eating a 4 calorie lunch in order to accommodate a 1,300 calorie dinner, but if that makes him happy, it is a good choice for him.0 -

I was rather surprised too! but everyone has mentioned the medical issue comments
Sadly no I was not being sarcastic-- well maybe a little. But I actually have the wonderful (yes this is sarcasm) genes that carry with them the medical conditions that most others have commented on. You know the ones that if you even look at a carb- you gain weight! yeah I have both of them- PCOS and Hypothyroidism. So yes the I hate you comment was sarcasm - its a gift I know- but the genetic predisposition to store fat from carbs was not- sadly.
but then I don't claim to deny science either-- I have to watch my cals too0 -

Alright I'm giving you a pass, I don't know anything about those conditions. I'm sorry, that must suck.0
