Looking for friends who don't eat "clean" and healthy

If anyone would like to add me... I have no restrictions other than calories and log every day. Probably eat too much Arctic Zero and Halo Top...

I would love more like-minded friends as well as I try to really get back to calorie counting!

Had birthday cake, veggie straws, a few jelly beans and mini marshmallows, plus fruit! Took a 45-minutes walk to get to the party place and will do 40 mins on skier later, but that's more to make sure I've got a buffer, since it's not like I could source/weigh the cake etc. (And we KNOW MFP and exercise machines can overestimate the calorie burns.)

P.S. As of this morning, I am down 39 lbs.

So glad I found this thread!! I thought it was the only one who doesnt care about the macros!! 1/2 cup (weighed) full fat breyers chocolate ice cream every night. Artificial full fat fancy creamer in my coffee every single morning. Chips. Soda (not diet). Pizza. I eat whatever the he%% I want to but I'm very careful about weighing my portions and staying within my calorie limits. 50 pounds down since September. I'm trying to remember that I have to live like this to keep the weight off and there is NO way I could eat "clean" forever.

I eat what I want as long as I'm in my calorie allotment sometimes that means straight up broccoli and salad sometimes that means ice cream and pizza

Well for lunch I had a Lean Pocket. For snack a fiber one coffee cake. For dinner I had not one but 2 Lean Cuisines cause I was hungry. Still have 300mg of sodium left over and 400 cals. I think it's time for ice cream.

I hear that! One area I consistently go over. Not shocking; I've got more of a salt tooth than a sweet one.

I eat a LOT of processed stuff (grab and go for lunch lol) so my sodium is forever high. I always figure I drink enough water that it gets all flushed out anyway!

I'm hitting National Pancake Day at IHOP tomorrow! Free short stack of buttermilk pancakes (with a request for donation to their charitable partners). I'm saving up the 470 calories for the pancakes and at least 150 for butter!

MandyxSchmitz

I definitely don't eat clean or healthy either. I just stick within my calorie limit

I'm going there in May. Last time I visited I had red velvet pancakes with cream cheese glaze on multiple days for breakfast; am definitely going to do it again for at least one day.

Hard to eat clean as a picky eater...so, here I am

Not a fan of most vegetables, although I am getting a little better.
Don't drink milk, don't like cheese unless its on a pizza HAHA and if I could eat croutons for every meal, I'd be set.

It's my birthday! Dutch Bros frou-frou coffee, cheeseburgers, and cheesecake will be consumed!

Happy birthday! I hope you had a great day!

(And what kind of "frou-frou" coffee did you have? (Don't know what Dutch Bros. is - is that a brand, or a restaurant? ) I used to love getting one of the alcoholic types of coffee with about an inch of cream on the top for a special treat, but I can't even remember the last time I had one of those!)

Very late answering, sorry.

Dutch Bros is a coffee shop, started in Oregon in 1992 and spreading out. Their coffee is awesome (so much better than Charbucks)! I always get an ER911, which is an Irish Cream mocha with six shots of espresso. 20 ounces = ~400 calories, so it's only a "sometimes food"

Obviously it's your choice. I don't know about you, but I'd rather eat clean and look like the girl on the right.

I would suspect that girl changed from cardio to lifting, personally. And her changes, if not photoshopped, were more about the workout change than the diet.

Clean Eating is a scam and does not have an objective definition.

-Eating some of your calories from less nutrient dense sources is not going to give you a nutrient deficiency.

-There is no evidence that moderate amounts of any food directly damages your health

-Before you quibble with me over what is moderate.. I don't have a direct answer as the definition of depends on who’s eating the food and how much they’re eating.

-Personal preference matters.

It's worth noting that some individuals have a hard time eating in moderation, and it may be smart to remove some foods that they normally binge on, at least for a while. Put another way, a food that is “healthy” for one person might be inappropriate for another in a given context. Furthermore, purposefully overeating can be an effective tool in making progress.

So go ahead demonize pizza, pop tarts, bacon, ice cream or whatever but these are not banned from my food list...

Do I eat "less" junk" sure but that doesn't mean I eat "zero junk"....

/end of rant

not enough info to make a distinction ..

what do they mean by "bad' diet..

and no one in this thread is saying that you can out exercise a bad diet. What we are saying is that you can eat the food you like, hit micros and macros, and still meet your body composition goals.

Guyyysss it was my beeday yesterday and this weekend I ate EVERYTHING.
Made homemade ravioli and sauce and served with garlic bread Friday
Saturday was my birthday dinner at a steakhouse with filet mignon, sides, moscato, and a hot fudge sundae
Saturday I had lunch at Panera and had thier broccoli cheddar soup
And yesterday for my actual birthday I had Taco Bell, ramen, and the homemade chocolate cheesecake that my husband made me:

(Here is said sexy husband lighting my candles)

Annnddd now I'm done for a while. Back on track. Macros and exercise . I am not Catholic but I view Lent as a challenge, and I have given up pre-prepared sweets (so if I want cookies I better make em). I feel good. I'm happy. I'm ready to ride the wagon another few miles before another get-off-and-strech break

jessiferrrb

happy birthday recent birthdayers!

@Verity1111 i made the vegetarian chicken and dumplings for dinner last night! (and lunch for the next 3 days) and it's super good! it's 560 cals per serving and you are not kidding about the sodium! my ankles are like balloons today. i know it will flush out though, i have a sensitivity to salt but only in bloating and not for health.
