    Calories (from the internet):

    Glazed Donut: 192 (+ is usually eaten without further condiments)
    Plain Bagel: 245 (+ is usually eaten with butter, cream cheese, or smoked salmon)

    FWIW, bagels are a calorie-inefficient bread choice.

    Why are you on here trying to give everyone advice? This is meant to be a fun thread where we post pictures of foods that we wish we could eat if there were no calories.

    Remember those bagels I was telling you about? We went there today before the lunch rush & I got a bagel & a berry danish. I wanted to get a box of donuts, but knew it would be a bad idea lol

    A 190 calorie glazed donut (using Krispy Kreme as example) is only 49 grams by weight. A 245 calorie bagel is 98 grams. So it's 2 doughnuts per 1 bagel. Which really means per hundred grams, donuts are 390 calories vs 250 calories per bagels. So not really more calorie efficient. Not to mention bagels have protein and fiber. The "other things you add to it" also have additional macro and micro nutrients that can make having a bagel a complete meal. Hard to imagine one small glazed donut is going to be a complete meal for anyone.

    But anywhooo... That's not really the point of this thread. On this thread, we can have BOTH bagels and donuts, AT THE SAME TIME. Maybe you can fill you bagel with a donut.

    Walmart used to sell this

    I have a surprising will power at the grocery, but if kettle chips get in my basket, I know what's for dinner. Or lunch if it's early enough.

    I like unsalted probably best. Second best is a tie of sea salt, salt, & black pepper, and sea salt & vinegar. Of the flavored ones, dill pickle, peproncini, jalapeno, and roasted garlic probably top the list. I didn't like maple bacon, but if you offered me some, I wouldn't be so rude as to turn 'em down. I might still be rude and NOT give 'em back.

    So is it just me, or were they better before they sold to Lay's and were made in Oregon?

    I've not tried the other varieties you mentioned. I'm in Australia and this is our kettle chips.. they are made in Australia by The Kettle Chip Company.

    Maybe we should mail each other some different flavors. Those both look delicious.

    I get over-excited about the himalayan salt kettle chips fried in avocado oil. If they're on sale I havta at least spend a long time batting my eyelashes at em while I decide if they're going home with me or not.

    Don't stand there too long. The calories will jump out of the bag and enter through your eyes and then you have to do a detox. :yum:

    I do that too. I almost never bring any home. I did get a bag for late night snacking at Squirrel's party over Labor Day. I only ate half of them. What was I thinking?

    I am appalled by your lack of follow-though. ;):D

    woo

    Well, I had more than the peach for dessert, I turned it into a major meal component by making a fruit salad of peach, watermelon, sugar-kiss melon (a galia hybrid), local strawberries, blueberries, mango, and golden kiwi.

    I know this is a thread for 'forbidden' foods, the problem is I just don't like most of the pre-packaged stuff people are posting; I associate those things with feeling sick afterwards. The kinds of high-calorie things that tempt me are over-sized fruits (good food, bad portion), nuts, excess butter on a vegetable, authentic Japanese ramen made with pork belly....stuff that doesn't lend itself to pics of dietary excess.

    add: I'm thinking that maybe a lot of people have problems being tempted by the dramatic tastes of 'junk' food, where maybe my weight problem is portion control rather than portion content? If I didn't have to worry about calories I could probably eat a pound of honeybaked ham, where a healthy portion is 4 oz.

    Can't post pics from the web portal. Here's a link to the image of a forbidden food the rest of you maybe can relate to: https://images.app.goo.gl/eUuuoTUcBTbwccND8

    I would be eating fried chicken with macaroni and cheese, and an orange soda.

    I can absolutely relate. I can't buy over the counter deli lunch meat because it will be gone in one sitting.

    You can post any foods you find tempting but the calorie count makes it tough, even if it's not junk food. In fact I'd bet you can find some yummy pictures of ramen on google. I could totally blow my calories for the day on a big bowl of ramen! And I'm pretty sure there's been plenty of decadent whole foods in this 170+ page thread.

    Some people are saying whether they do or dont like others guilty pleasures, but in a humorous way, not in a "you shouldn't eat that crap" way. Problem solving and math happen all over the rest of the boards. We're just having a little fun in here, it's a not-so-serious zone :smile:

    This! We don't want food police.
