Poptarts or Fig Newtons when I do the 40 mile bike ride or before vigorous cycling.0

Pop Tarts are Grim! :-/ In no way are they part of a healthy lifestyle.
You want quick carbs? Put a slice of wholemeal toast in the toaster. Not as many carbs granted, but so much better for you.

I haven't eaten poptarts since they stopped selling the non-frosted kind (in my area). I think they are too sweet when frosted.
I do applaud them for their commercials showing a machine shooting goo into the poptart. Why pretend it's "fruit" when everyone loves the goo? Embrace the goo!!0 -
I used to eat them all the time to but to make my but big not my muscles. If I want some carbs with low fat I will eat some steel cut oats mixed with some fat free greek yogurt, carbs and protien. Or some nice whole grain bread some really nice like Nutty Oat or similiar with a tablespoon or two of PB.0

My husband says they're great for someone who has REALLY burned a lot of calories, like if they just ran 20 miles, but you should never eat them otherwise because they will just make you fat. He tells me to stay away from them because I am not anywhere near that level of fitness. He's in awesome shape so he's probably right!

Oh yes there is! That reason is that toaster strudel's are a much better use of your free calories!
(No I'm not giving this up, and yes I have a lot of free time on my hands at the moment)0 -
Personally I think Ice Cream is a much better alternative if your eating just for enjoyment and have the calories to spare.0

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 ^^0 -
If I bought Poptarts my son would eat the whole box before I got a single bite.
He, like his father, is obnoxiously tall and underweight and eats like a horse. Go genetics:/0 -
My husband and I are poptart free for 3 years now. He used to be almost addicted. What bothers me about poptarts is the following. It is almost 200 calories for one pastry.. they come 2 in a pack. There are about 3 different types of sugars in each poptart. They are advertised as a breakfast food, so people buy them for themselves and kids as such, with all the sugar, you are hungry faster. They are not too high in fat and there is an ok amount of fiber, but it doesnt' make up for all the bad. OK... off my poptart soapbox, thank for listening. :happy:0

the pop tart mini crisps are pretty good! i eat them sometime for a snack0

Freakin love them. Don't allow myself to have them often, but when I do it's worth the whole 400 cals for the 2. Toast one, second stays 'raw'. Mmmmm0

Not good carbs and bad for diabetics or borderline diabetic or anyone thinking of becoming a diabetic. With that said..I loved them growing up and now I'm diabetic. Type 2. Keep that in mind. Good carbs are fruit, wild rice, Glucerna Shakes.... the list is endless and it doesn't include POP TARTS.0

I have been known to eat one or two in a race, disolves quickly and some great quick energy,0

200 Calories

I can't believe people are saying they are good for you. :frown:
this... i'm not buying this, not until i achieve my weight/fat goal then i'll have this as a treat. now that i still have to cut body fat and pounds then i don't think this will help me0
