I totally understand where you are coming from. I usually do this on the weekends when I don't bother with breakfast and only have lunch and dinner. I like to go out to restaurants to eat for one of the meals. During the weekday I like having small bags of chips or small pieces of chocolate
Makes it more of a lifestyle change that can be maintained long term. If I couldn't eat the foods I love I would have given up a long time ago.7 -

Well now that you mention it ice cream is on the menu for dinner tonight! I'm torn between Ben and Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie and half baked half twisted. Help me decide!5

I am baffled that people can have "meals" of frappuccino or ice cream or gin and tonics and not be ravenous afterwards. Does this truly fill you up? Or are you ravenous and just deal with it?
I'm not making a moral judgment about "high cal/ low nutrient food" - I limit it because I refuse to go to bed hungry as that messes up my sleep.2 -

When I do this it's usually ice cream which for me has enough fat and protein to keep me satisfied. Plus my other meals when I do this tend to be nutritionally balanced with a good amount of fiber and protein so I don't feel lacking in any way.

I have had said cheesecake for breakfast before so I would be certain not to run out of calories for it

I’m have found that eating tons of fruits and vegetables helps to keep cravings at bay. But I sometimes have 2 pints of halo top for supper with a Lenny & Larry cookie.
It’s a process. Patience is your friend.6 -

Specifically, I couldn't sacrifice a meal for a beverage.3 -
The one that eats high cal/ low nutrient foods but in a deficit. I want to try things and if a frappacino (sp?) takes up my dinner calories, so be it. Not always, but some days.
I am not misled about what cico means
I may move towards more nutrient dense options, but I am breaking one habit at a time.
I am also that one friend with the cluttered car.
Lost 50lbs this way and improved all my health markers in the process. I also -gasp- did not exercise at all during that time either
After I transitioned into maintenance and things got settled down, then I started exploring different foods and slowly changed what I ate-focusing more on nutrient dense foods and reducing my intake of low nutrient ones. Throughout this process I continued to maintain my weight loss and good health markers by CICO. Fast forward a few years and I'm now mostly plant based with a diet consisting of mostly whole, nutrient rich foods. I still eat the occasional serving of Halo Top though, and enjoy eating out with the family on the weekends And I still maintain my weight by CICO! 5 -

How much protein is in your ice cream and what brand is it?0 -

I get the Ben and Jerry's froyo and usually end up eating the whole pint so it's around 20 grams of protein and 12 grams of fat. Like I said as well I make sure I get enough protein and nutritious food the rest of the day when I do this so I feel fine.3 -
I am that person sometimes. I like vegetables and generally nutritious foods, so I don't have to work hard to include them, I just eat them out of habit because that's how I eat. I do have days where my nutrition is horror. I had funnel cake for dinner once. There was a day where I had nothing for breakfast, chips and chocolate for lunch, and instant noodles for dinner. Cake for breakfast also happens after birthdays and major holidays. This doesn't happen often, but I couldn't care less that it happens sometimes.5

I was not really hungry, but you have a good point.
I wanted to try their newest flavor, but it was not what i expected, so I will stick to less caloric drinks3 -
My ice cream is called Cool Way (Canada). I eat the whole freakin pint!
Depending on the flavour about:
90 calories per serving
2.5 g fat per serving
7 g protein per serving
I eat 4 , 125 ml serving.4 -

I'll speak for myself on this one. There are days where I'm not really hungry and could take it or leave it, so milkshake for dinner is no different than chicken and potatoes for dinner satiety-wise. There are also days where my desire for something trumps hunger, so I choose to be a little hungry over not having the choice I want. I would skip a meal or two, for example, to go out to a restaurant and order whatever I want a few times a year.6 -
Just added you! I eat pizza every single Monday for dinner and I still eat fast food, drink beer, etc. and am having no trouble losing weight because I've scaled back so that I'm still eating a deficit.
I have also been known to eat DQ blizzards and bacon for dinner on more than one occasion

I've been in maintenance for several years... I don't eat breakfast often, but this morning I made room for an apple fritter from Dunkin Donuts (which, unfortunately wasn't as good as I wanted it to be doggonit), and I have been known to eat a pint of Halo Top for breakfast (they have a waffle pancake one that is freaking awesome)...

But my car is clean....
I was trying to figure out what to have for dinner... I think you might be on to something!
