Would these be considered 'junk food'

Your book might be different than mine, but in my book it is junk food. Or rather "trigger food". I see it has 7 saturated fats, I'm only suppose to have 8 a day, so it's not worth it to me.

On a side note...eat one for me, would ya?! :laugh:

I guess it depends on what you consider junk, or what you consider a cheat! i have snacks, i just try to at least make wiser choices than i would have in the past. I have weight watchers or skinny cow ice creams as my sweet treat sometimes.


What are those ones? Yum!

I think a healthy diet should include a treat, and this is definitely not the worst you could do, treat-wise.

They ingredients all look good for a pretty healthy snack except for the amount of saturated fat. I've recently learned some horrid things about sat fat so trying to avoid it lol!

I consider it soul food. As long as your soul doesn't become so big your body has to expand to accommodate it, all is well!

I think the real question is " do these fit within my macros/and or calories for the day?" If the answer is yes... then I say enjoy. They look like a pretty good choice and if they taste good and are worth the calories... I say go for it.

^^^ This. There is no more "junk food" / "no junk food" line for you. Welcome to controlled eating.

If you're tracking your fats, carbs, proteins, sugar, and calories and making sure you eat enough of each one every day to remain healthy while not going over on any one of them by a ridiculous amount, there IS NO JUNK FOOD in your vocabulary any more.

There are only foods that you can fit in your daily intake, and those that you cannot. And that's not something anyone else can answer. Have you eaten all the nutritious foods you need for the day and do you have a little room for some fat and sugar? Then eat up! If not, adjust the rest of your diet around one of these if they are the treat that keeps you sane.

I drink beer, wine, and whiskey. I eat chocolate, cake, cookies, and ice cream. But I make sure I fit such things into my diet. They aren't junk food if I've eaten all my proteins and other macros for the day and have enough room to work one in.

Personally, I'd consider it "junk food". The reason is its fairly high in calories (170) considering that its only 52grams in weight, its high in sugar, its very high in fat - and there doesn't appear to be any nutritional value at all.

Basically I consider everything that does not have nutritional value to be "junk food" because there is nothing there to actually fuel your body.

I'd like to say I never eat that stuff - but that's clearly a lie or I would be a smaller size. But I do try hard not be decieve myself about what I'm putting in my mouth. Maybe some day I'll be able to say that I never eat that stuff anymore....

I like the 100-calorie coconut sandwiches even better.
