I can't believe people are saying they are good for you. "

I know! Sure, you can eat a pack for breakfast, and with a juice, you've used the typical breakfast cal allotment, but how much did you eat? It isn't a lot of food for the calories. :ohwell:

That said, some of them are super yummy, but I just can't justify, to myself, the calorie for taste sacrifice.

Last time I ate them (several years ago) I don't remember filling full afterwards.

After taking in 400 calories, the least a food could do is make you feel content.


They sure tasted good however..

I love Poptarts! The hot fudge sundae ones are my favorite! (:

strawberry milkshake! Taste best frozen

If I ate a Poptart for breakfast, no doubt I would be eating fast food by lunch and munching on peanut butter cups that evening. But, I'm not a body builder.

This! LOL This would so be me as well!! It is so hard. I just read the same thing in a book Bob Harper wrote today, about how once you eat sugar, even the substitute kind it just makes you want more....I had noticed this happening before I read or heard anything about it. I did love to eat poptarts way back when, my favorite was the smores or blueberry (with icing of course) but I just can't let them in anymore...not with out falling off the wagon for other meals.

Good tasting, high carbs, low fat. Great way to get your carbs up with a minimal amount of fat.

A lot of bodybuilders eat them as a post/pre workout carb source.

Interesting...

They are basically worthless calorie wise, high calorie and your hungry in an hour.

Haha. Good joke. We get it. *checks your diary* ;-)

My family lived and traveled around a little bit on a sailboat for a while when I was younger, and I remember having Pop-Tarts for breakfast fairly often -- because when it's barely past dawn, you're needed on deck right away, and you're facing an entire day on your feet, nothing beats grabbing a neat little package of carbohydrates and deliciousness from the locker on your way up, especially when you're twelve. My mother didn't like us having them, because they weren't healthy; my father didn't care and bought them anyway. XD

I don't like them anymore, though. Bit sad, really; I have some happy memories associated with Pop-Tarts (or, once my mother got her way, the all-natural organic knock-off version).

Edit: Sorry for waxing nostalgic for an entire paragraph.

LOL. That is awesome xD

So what everyone should eat 100% clean all the time and never have treats that they enjoy? I don't see the big deal heh

I eat refined carbs and sugar, not hurting me any xD

Thanks reading this makes me want one! I havnt had a pop tart in at least five months....I'm to close to my goal to break that now, someday I will enjoy one again but it will be a while!

I ate them as a kid. Bought my first box in years just a couple of weeks ago. Delicious! Even better than I remember!
