    The ultimate food sin is popcorn? I am so eating some cheesecake tonight!

    I think I'll join you. Maybe even have some chips while we're at it? ;-)

    Oh honey, I know what you are talking about. Theater popcorn is horribly bad.:devil: . Yet the minute I walk in and smell it I want it bad.
    The kids(kids ha ha, they are 24 and 19) and I just went and saw MIB3 and Avengers, we shared a small. Let me tell you the the small is pretty big and loaded with butter. But since we only go to the movies maybe 2-3x a year, I splurged. SO worth it.:smooched:

    Pop corn is the ultimate food sin?

    I am going to hell for what I ate in Las Vegas then. Totally worth it though.

    To be fair to the OP, I read on a website that my TDEE was 900 calories, so 1200 would be a gain. Now, I do know that website was ridiculous, I do not eat 900 calories, all I'm saying is there's some bad information out there and if the OP stumbled on that website first she might not have questioned it.

    (I wish I had the website to link. Will have another look now...)

    How about she wants to compete in fitness competitions and thinks the best plan is to do cardio for hours at a time?

    Yanno what, forget anyone who has anything negative to say on here tearing you down. Yeah, talking about the girl who posted twice who had nothing but nasty comments to make towards you. She doesn't know you, (neither do I, obv). It really was a simple question and I think people on here forget they are NOT certified nutritionists, and there is no need to get holier than thou when we are all just learning from each other. I get so sick of going on the forums and see some idiot(s) who gets all her information from a google search, or from reading all the drivel on the forums and thinking they are experts talking down to others. And judging someone based on their looks? Wow. Let's see her say that to you in person.

    Sorry, end rant!

    *Bashes head against wall*

    Please, don't worry about those that have negative responses. While my "ultimate food sin" is different than yours, I can TOTALLY relate to the feeling. Luckily, it will be okay in the big scheme of things, so don't worry too much.

    And for those that say you're doing things wrong for your goals, I'm sure they don't know exactly what your goals are or everything about you, and they also should know that you cannot make blanket statements for everyone. They are confident in their intelligence, so I'm sure they know that.

    my ultimate goal is to be in fitness competitions..and to do that u need to gain a lot of muscle and eat VERY clean

    Don't do excessive amounts of cardio like that then. You'll just start burning through valuable muscle tissue when your body runs out of energy stores. It won't be able to metabolize fat as energy for hours at a time. Do some HIIT cardio if you want punishment but keep it down to 30 or 45 minutes.

    EDIT: not 2hrs of cardio at a time.

    Ive taken my cardio down a lot,i used to do 90-120mins a day..but now i do 60mins a day along with strength training on different muscle groups..i only workout 5x a week,i give myself 2 days off a week :)

    please read my previous posts in this forum & you'll get your answers.thanks.my ultimate goal is to be in fitness competitions..and to do that u need to gain a lot of muscle and eat VERY clean,so of course i'm gonna feel guilty over popcorn
    What do you mean "of course i'm gonna feel guilty"? Why would a person with a healthy relationship to food every feel GUILTY about what they ate? Guilt is a misplaced emotion when it comes to food. To me that is a sign of a problem.

    Honey, don't take what people say personally. I think its possible people are feeling threatened by your amazing pic and given the title, they might be reacting to a fear that you are promoting ED type thinking. There's been some weird pro-ED things on here lately.

    I think its cool that you admit you are learning and that you were misinformed about things here and there. Some of us have been here a long time and get nutso when we see people putting out misinformation....but it looks like that's not what you were trying to do. You were just askng for advice and there's a bit that you didn't know. It's ok. Before I was here, I had no idea how many calories would make fat, or what a TDEE is or an ORM. I spent a lot of time searching forums and asking my friends what was going on. I do hope you give yourself a break to eat more than 1200 cals here and there and especially if you are working out hard. And I agree that clean eating is good.... just keep trucknig a long. Take the good advice and don't let the *kitten* grind ya down.
