What is something way too high in calories but you cant resist and how often do you have it?

Pizza. Definitely. With fatty meats. I'm not a girl to replace all the meats with with vegetables. Add a few veggies but not instead of meats. So, maybe once a month I have 2 slices, thin crust though!

I have a lot of foods like this. Crisps (thank god they come in individual packs, because I can't stop myself with the big packs!) pork scratchings, battered chips (there's a chip shop around the corner from my house where a small portion is huuuuuuge) battered sausage, pizza, cheesecake, toast with real butter (I usually use a low calorie substitute) creme brulee, crispy seaweed (yes, I know it's lettuce), chicken tikka masala (luckily there are low cal versions) smoked salmon (I eat the 100g packets so not too bad on calories) garlic bread... I could go on. Some of these things I have most days in moderation, and some I have maybe once a month.
I'm going to an all-you-can-eat tomorrow where most of these foods will be available I'm going to enjoy myself and cut my calories for the rest of the week!

Häagen-Dazs chocolate peanut butter ice cream

I honestly almost never eat the good ice cream stuff anymore (you know, the 300+ calories a serving kind) because ice cream is something I absolutely don't enjoy as much in small quantities

I mostly like a little of the good stuff more than a lot of less good stuff (and I especially dislike the puffed up kind that only looks like fewer calories because it's more volume per gram). However, I've found I enjoy having two kinds of ice cream together, so what works well for me sometimes is a lot cal kind (Halo Top is okay, So Delicious has some low cal kinds I like, and the WF house gelatos are low cal -- hazelnut is something like 140 per serving) + a small amount of a higher cal kind with it (Jeni's being my go-to, but McConnells or B&J or Talenti which is more middle calorie) also work, and various other smaller brands too. I also enjoy picking flavors that work together. Sometimes I do half and half, but more often .75 of a serving or so of the lower cal (or a full serving if something like Halo Top) plus .25-.3 of the serving of a higher cal one. Varied based on calories available, though.

I also find that a small bowl makes a difference in how large the serving seems, and so does a small spoon and eating slowly. I know it's a trick, but it works anyway.

I eat everything in moderation, sometimes eat too much of what I love, but I have a problem baking cookies because I love the dough and freshly baked cookies. For this reason, I don't bake often, but when I do I plan in the dough and the cookies.

potato crisps (chips) and beer - both are so very more-ish, especially together!

Baby back ribs. I have them 2-3 times a year but I'd have them at least once a week if they weren't so darn high in calories.

Same for brats, but those tear through my gut like the Tasmanian Devil in a china shop, so it's a little easier to not eat those. But oooohhhhh man they taste good!

This. I buy frozen greek yogurt (Yasso is a good brand) because I know there's no way in hell I'd be content eating a single serving of ice cream, especially the good kind. I used to eat 1-2 pints of ice cream a day.

Have you tried Halo Top ice cream? I've yet to, but I've heard really good things about it. Each pint has about 240-280 kcal and a lot of protein. It's about $7 a pint, though.

Literally anything sweet or anything dippable. I have one hell of a sweet tooth. Plus, I've always loved dips. Especially chip dips, no matter if it's basic onion dip or some fancy layered nacho dip. It's a sad guarantee that if I have something dippable, I'll eat wayyyyy more than anyone ever should

But ribs arent high in calories. The BBQ sauce they are usually drenched in is haha. Get zero cal or at least no sugar bbq sauce and you can now have these once a months

Um yeah, baby back ribs are very high calories. About 1000-1200 per rack. It's very fatty meat.

I don't always put sauce on them, often we just do a dry rub, but if want sauce I want sauce. And if I have sauce it will definitely have sugar in it. Sugar is what makes the sauce caramelize.

True, but not all BBQ sauces are created equal. Many have sugar as the #1 ingredient. To me thats not bbq sauce haha. Whats a 1000cal once a month thats a 1h or 10K run

Then eat them once a month and I'll do what I like, which would never be running 10k. I make my own sauces.
