I think that eventually happened in a thread where I argued with someone that 1500 calories of Snickers was far healthier than 1500 calories of raw broccoli (in one of those typical "I don't do CICO because I care about my health and don't eat nothing but candy bars every day" threads)...where I posited that one of those…

(I both love and am baffled that this post was woo'd. Would love to know what part of this could be construed (or even misconstrued) as woo. Or do people not realize that adjustments to calorie targets based on progress (or lack thereof) are an essential component of achieving their goal weight?)

Add some protein to that candy bar and you'll have... ...just about every reasonably decent tasting protein bar on the market. But because it's a protein bar and not a candy bar, it's healthy. (Six Snickers bars is lower carb, higher protein, lower sugar, higher fiber...or what that author might call a healthier…

Healthier than if you ate 1500kcal in raw broccoli over the course of a day. Ergo, Mars bars are obviously healthier than broccoli. Because #extremescience.

Yet another medical miracle joins the discussion.

Also, assuming consistent tracking, adherence, and confirmed good data, when weight loss didn't occur as predicted after a reasonable period of time, did you adjust your target downward by a reasonable amount and resumed consistent tracking and adherence...and continued this refining process until satisfactory progress?…

Really??

I’ve never denied those even once...certainly not three times...so no. (That said, look for an updated leg progress pic from me later this year.

I believe this is addressed in Matthew 26:34.

Done. #goldstarforme

I see that you and I are now worried about the same thing.

Now I need to figure out how I’ve intentionally (and predictably) lost weight by eating at what I calculated to be a certain calorie deficit by a combination of reducing consumption and increasing overall activity (but mostly the former) and intentionally (and predictably) gained weight by eating at what I calculated to be…

**shudder**

And even worse, start zealously preaching to others that they need to/should follow their diet of choice if they really want results/are serious about their health/etc.

*when it didn’t kill them, that is. (Nb4 and then it worked even more)

LOLOLOLOLOLOL **wheeze** LOLOLOLOLOL

It's actually causing me physical pain not to bump more of them. (I'm MFP-infamous for doing that on these kinds of threads.) But that was then. This is now. This is the new and improved me. I'm trying to do better. I'm trying to be better. But it's not easy. Especially since this is day 4 (of scheduled 50ish days) of my…

Surely someone suggests in the yet unread 28 pages having a spoon of metamucil with their delicious bread to comply with his dietary rules, right? Surely. Otherwise, MFP, you're dead to me.

Dammit! I actually made a note to myself to make a thread where I posted the advice that so many claim is so frequently given so I can provide a link to it to help them out. Eat whatever you want! Nutrition be damned! 2000 daily calories in table sugar for the rest of your life is just fine!

I know this was 3+weeks and 35 pages ago, but I just wanted to bump this comment in case it has been overlooked and forgotten during that time. And if it hasn't and this is redundant, then so be it. It's worth repeating. Also, someone said this earlier: Which is what I preach to those who are new or struggling. It isn't so…

Don't make me work for it! Give me that link!

DYE4.Profit!?

There was a time when my MFP friends would have pinged me to let me know early on about this inevitable dumpster fire of a thread. Instead, I had to stumble on it myself from the RFT (which I seldom even glance at since it's usually filled w/ CCF&G nonsense). So first, I am so very disappointed in my so-called MFP…

I'm not even much of a chip guy. But this has been a dream of mine for several decades. Could be a total game-changer for fajita night.

Yes. Yes, I most definitely will eat these.

No way. As pictured, that's 1200ish at the most.

What's the protein source?
