I was thinking about how much junk food the average person eats then I was thinking about even though I know what is in my food I still eat things that should probably never be put in the human body.

Some of my guilty pleasures are McDonald's french friends, Cheesy gordia crunches from Taco Bell, and frostys. Now, I know they put weird things in fast food and there are things that no person really should eat but they just taste so darn good.

What food items do you eat even though it's hazardous to your health or just plain not good for you?

Wendy's Frosty's with Fries...McFlurries...Fried Chicken...Cookies with Milk on an overly frequent basis...anything from Taco Bell...most take-out food, actually.

But sometimes, I just can't help myself. I eat pretty healthy on a normal basis, I think I deserve some splurges every now and then! D<

That's the way I see it too. Normally I eat organic and things that do not have anything I can not pronounce in them. Then I go and eat things with all these chemicals in it and feel bad about it. They are so good though. Now I want a large order of fries with a frosty. Nothing is better than dipping the fries in the frosty!

Chocolate. I'm allergic to chocolate. But I eat it anyway, small portions.

haha I think I'm becoming somewhat allergic to overly preserved and processed foods. It gives me huge digestion issues every time I eat it....but then I'm like "...but it was so much cheaper than eating organic.....>.>" But mmm...these oreos are tasty!

Sforzando: My friend does that. She's allergic to coconut and peanuts. But she'll still eat things that have been around peanuts, and she loves coconut cake, if only because it might kill her one day. And another friend is allergic to pineapple, but man does she love pina coladas.

I get the same way with processed foods. Milk and eggs are another. I'm pretty sure I have an egg allergy which bums me out because I love omelets with feta cheese and tomatoes.

aww! I love eggs. I gained a recent love for scrambled eggs + rice + ketchup. And soft-boiled with toast is another amazing way to eat 'em. But oh my..that omelette sounds really good.

I want to try the rice eggs now. That sounds awesome! I always get the feta and tomato omelet at a place down the street from me. I get sick from it but it's so good.

haha some things are just so totally worth it. XD I'm not even sure if half the restaurants here know that cheeses other than american and cheddar exist. I rarely eat Feta....but I'd have to try it in an omelette.

There's a bunch of Greek places here which is awesome. I love feta.

This thread made me go out and buy some McD's fries just now and it's nearly 4am. XD

hahah wow! ...Our McD's is even open this late. =/

There's a few 24 hour ones here. I love it. They star serving breakfast at 4am though.

That fourth MUG of coffee
Before Breakfast O.o

Coffee I can't do on an empty tummy. The caffeine just gets to me too much. XD

Pretty much everything I eat on a daily basis. @[email protected] which is odd. I've hung around the same weight for years now. Gaining or losing a couple pounds either way, but never a lot. I eat SO MUCH JUNK FOOD.

Energy drinks are probably the worst thing you could drink, ever. But I love 'em. Dx

This site makes me sooooo happy. XD

Probably everything I eat. Every time I think I've found something healthy that I like, I find out that it's actually not healthy... Just like everything else. Right now I'm assuming that yogurt and smoothies are healthy, and I'm hoping no one will come along and tell me otherwise. Anyway, as far as the most unhealthy things I like... Probably the stuff I eat for snacks. Like Doritos. I looooove Doritos. I have no idea what kinds of things they put into stuff like Doritos, probably all sorts of terrible things to get them to taste so great. XD And soda. I really love soda, but I do balance it out by drinking water as well, and I usually try to drink water more often than soda. And let's not forget sugar like ice cream and cake...

But as far as fast food goes, I avoid it. I actually don't like fast food very much and won't even go to McDonald's unless someone forces me to really. I think the food at most fast food places is kind of icky. I think of greasy, low quality food. I once compared the Mcnuggets to some other chicken nuggets that came in a microwave meal tray thing. The microwave stuff tasted so much better than the ones from McDonald's. x_x So even those frozen microwave meals are better! The McDonald's stuff tasted like cardboard in comparison. That aside, there are a few fast food places that I like, like Chick-Fil-A. They're pretty decent.

I've been losing weight, all while allowing myself to have junk food. It's so much easier to not fall off the wagon when you let yourself have a yummy sundae, or some salty french fries with ketchup! The only thing that really changes is the portion sizes, and how fast I eat it. I try to enjoy it. :3

haha you should be okay with yogurt and smoothies. Just make sure you're getting yogurt with Live&Active Cultures--these help ease digestion and are also recommended to people with a chronic bad breath, since if excessively brushing your teeth and mouthwash doesn't work it's probably a stomach bacteria. Smoothies are delicious and filled with fruit. So use fresh fruits and try not to add too much extra sugar, because fruits already have a ton. ^_^

I'm not terribly fond of fast food, either...but sometimes I'm just like "Man...I really want _____ right now" When I go to McDonald's, though, I stick with Chicken Selects, Snack Wraps and the Parfaits. None of them are really that great, but I know I'm getting more nutrition from those than I'd be getting from an Angus burger (which I kind of have a guilty tendency for when I want a burger...).

You know what the horrible thing is? McDonald's Caeser Salad has more salt in it than a BigMac! Source.

That's just disgusting. Who eats salty salads!? XP

Fast food... I try to avoid it as best as I can, but when I'm in a hurry to get somewhere I can't help but go there. Also eggs. I may have an allergy to them, but can't help but eat them. Some days I'm fine after, but others they just make me feel ill...

i dont eat alot. lol :sleep:

Corn.. which has no nutritional value at all.

Oh, and frosty's... and mcflurries.. and any drink from starbucks...

And my super wonderful even though I'm allergic pineapples..

@PWEEP: Is it sad that that website had a few things I actually wanted to eat? XD That huge cookie sandwich with the chocolate and reeses is awesome! I so want to make one! XD

candy.... definately candy... :drool: but I can't help it... chocolate is sooo goood :drool:
