I know that with CICO I could spend all or most of my daily calories on foods like full fat cheeses, cakes, pastries, biscuits [cookies], ice cream, deep fried chips [fries], sausages, fatty meat and still lose weight but at what cost to my health?
There are lots of foods that are 'bad' but obviously only when they are eaten in high volume and too frequently.
I eat 'bad' foods occasionally under the premise that 'a little bit of what you fancy does you good' and the fact that they stop me feeling deprived and becoming a self-righteous martyr.
So come on, admit it folks, there are 'bad' foods.
I agree that there are bad foods. I know some folks here disagree, but if I eat a bag of Nibs, there isn't a single bit of valuable nutrition in that. Even the sugar is bad for me. How can this food be considered okay? It's like eating plastic laced with sugar - and yes, I do still eat them sometimes! But I fully consider them a bad food because they may be edible, but they BARELY qualify as food at all! LOL!
Foods that are calorie rich and high in fats and sugars can still be okay and offer some nutritional value if eaten on occasion. I may consider myself naughty when I eat things like pastries, but that's because I know what they do to my body. They still offer some nutritional value, unlike the sugar plastic candy. So I'm not sure if I'd consider these bad foods so much as more fattening and ultimately not the healthiest choice for every day ... but they are fine if consumed once in awhile as a special treat, provided you have willpower and can stop at one portion. I struggle with the portion control (hence why I'm here)!0 -

Like Twizzler Nibs candy? Those have fat and carbohydrates. I don't know about you, but my body uses both of those macronutrients.
How are they harming you?0 -

If eating nibs prevents you from getting micros and macros then that is a bad diet bit it does not make nibs bad0 -

That's a pretty lofty discussion goal. I don't think you can meet your conversational needs with threads that have fewer than 1500 posts.
ETA: Especially if you're reading junk threads about who to bang, date, or marry. Those are just empty threads that offer nothing in terms of nutrition.0 -

It's almost like people keep entering a 30-something page thread without reading it and keep making the same arguments with no regard for context, dosage, or the many posts that have come before.
In the old days threads like this died off after a roll or two and some cat gifs.0 -

I'm only using good, clean words though. No BAD words.0 -

In the old days they were way more fun: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10020547/if-eating-trash-makes-us-sick-why-do-we-keep-eating-it#latest
There was an epic McDonald's one too, that I think ended up in ChitChat.
My question is whether we should start the eggs for the Easter Bunny thread on Ash Wednesday, which is nice and early this year.0 -

I have been eagerly awaiting the Lenten season so I can resurrect the "what should I do with the Easter eggs" thread. It also is in my top 5 along with the one you linked above. The Easter thread has the bonus of the tangent about MMA.
