    French fries
    Ben and Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie ice cream
    I don't even need them to be healthy. I need them to have no carbs :)

    Cinnamon buns, I wish they were micro and macro nutrient dense while still tasting amazingly good.

    Both sound amazing wow! I'm needing inspiration to create new "healthy" recipes, thanks!

    Ice cream...and nutella. Both not entirely UN healthy per se, but when I stand in the kitchen with the tub and a spoon, they automatically become dangerous.

    Pizza! Don't' give me the healthified versions, I want pan pizza that has the edges basically fried in butter and I want 3 pieces, not 1.

    That said, I'll eat the healthified versions and they are ok. But there's something about a good snappy cheese and a golden crust!

    You just reminded me why I love Pizza Hut so much! Though, I haven't had a pizza like that since losing weight. I do make my own pan pizza that fits the bill, not as greasy but pretty crispy :smiley:

    Things I'd like to be able to eat in higher volume?

    Macaroni and cheese, yes.
    Cheese in general.
    Pasta in general.
    Good crusty homemade white bread.

    I like a lot of foods, but sweet things I am very satisfied with small portions no problem. It's the pasta and bread and stuff that I want bigger servings of, but they don't have much nutrition per calorie.

    Donuts.

    Life would be a lot easier if we could just eat 2-3 donuts at each meal and call it a day.

    I'm not talking Krispy Kremes or Dunkin Donuts either.... or those fancy boutique donuts with Froot Loops on top.

    I'm talking donuts from a place like this:

    Enchiladas and bacon!
    (Not bacon enchiladas though, that doesn't sound good)

    Carnitas, rice, quesadillas, tacos...

    I'm hungry...

    I don't consider anything healthy or not healthy.. but as far as calories go I just wish all foods were 0 calories and I could stuff my face at all times.
