Ok let's talk food. With most people on diets, trying to loose weight, or just.maintain a healthy weight, we all have a guilty pleasure food that we all sneak in every now and then. So what's yours?
Mine is sloppy joes, served on deep fried tater tots and topped with cheese sauce.
Pizza and Japanese buffets are always the two things that constantly derail my diets. Freaking gyoza, sushi, and artificially processed meat products layered on melty cheese... why must you be so freaking delicious? >:(
I like to eat at home ;)
Dark chocolate.
Giant Super Burritos. I want one now. Lets all go to Favela's, or Baldo's, or Adalberto's, or Gordito's.

Popeye's fried chicken, mashed potatoes , mudbugs and coca cola . forgot the gravy
Pretty much anything with carbs and I'm trying not to eat carbs. Pizza, pasta, calzones, bread....
Chicken enchilada's, rice and beans, sigh. Not to mention all the chips, soft tortillas and jalapeño cheese dip. Great! Now I have this in my head before my 6 mile walk, ARGH! ::)

Yeah, now I have it on my mind. (Head spnning)
Maybe I can go for a long walk today also ... Down to the mexican place. Damn. ;D
Ice cream. :)
Peanuts!
Take 5 bars, grilled cheese and lately tons of peanut butter
chocolate or ice cream
I envy those with a fast metabolism that can eat more and gain less. I never had the best genes as a guy. As a woman I'll just about have to resign myself to eating nothing but celery. :embarrassed:
Hmmm... I don't gain a ton even when I'm not working my butt off on the track most days of the week but I suppose the worst thing would be Pizza/Wings/Beer combo that my partner and I love to get from time to time. So good.
this thread is doing my weight no favours ::)

Yup, yup.
Pizza and wings. Mainly right now wings because still cant find a goodpizza place here in florida after four years.
Tamales and enchiladas... Especially the enchiladas from my favorite Mexican restaurant (this place is so good, the Texas state legislature awarded them!). They have a buffet - only on Tuesdays and they have their enchiladas on the buffet... Instant diet suicide; but, they're soooo good! :eusa_drool:
Protein...
Trying damn hard to go low protein-highish fats diet for muscle atrophy. Kinda sucks as I'm seemingly lactose-intolerant (milk products don't help my protein counts anyhow.)
So basically I eat a lot of salad drenched in dressing. Would kill for a grilled chicken breast in them...
I'm not on a diet per say I just have to be mindful about how much I eat.
But I do occasionally give myself "Treats" These are all things I'm very prone to overeating with if I'm not careful.
Jelly Sweets
Humus + seasameseed breadsticks
Taramasalata + Surimi sticks.
Anchovy + Cheese + Jalapeño's in crusty bread.
I'm lucky that the things I'm particularly weak against arn't all that fattening (Compared to other food vices I could have)
feta-stuffed chipotle peppers ;D
Great -I'm dieting right now. It's actually working. I'm hungry though.
Foods that I really enjoy and really miss:
Grilled Porterhouse or Rib Eye Steaks
Large bowls of Pasta with multiple kinds of spicy meat and a mildly spicy red sauce
Grilled Seafood
One day.....
Hugs,
Jen
Ummm... Cheez Its, yum :)
I would have to say mine is sushi, cheeseburgers,and the forbidden donuts lol
Cinnamon toast with a tall glass of real milk.
Nothing. I don't do guilt and I don't put on weight.
Rosie
There are days (like today) that I would kill to eat things as healthy as pizza or a nice cheeseburguer with fries!
I feel my life needs more color, like a big milk-shake to cheer me up.
I'm growing tired of eating salads and grilled things...ugh...they're not bad, but they're so...so
BK veg, yum!!!!
This thread is EVIL!
I am so hungry now, and since starting HRT I am always hungry.
Oy! I have been craving pickles for months. Had to resort to making them myself. Better. Cheaper. Healthier.
Other things?
Well, reading this thread has me craving some serious Mexican food, which costs a lot and is hard to find where I live. I think I would eat road kill right now as long as it was wrapped in a cheesy tortilla and smothered in enchilada sauce with rice and beans on the side.
I have also been craving hot sauce, so I have started making my own. Just roasted peppers, roasted garlic, salt and vinegar. Blend, strain and bottle. As hot as I want it.
And lately, Asian soups. Pho! Ramen! Thai soups! Hot and sour Chineese soup! I live in Hawaii, so what we lack in Mexican, we make up for in Asian cuisine. I have convinced myself soup is healthier than rice dishes.
Now, for those who do not know, great ramen is NOTHING like the stuff college kids survive on. There is heat and serve ramen and then there is RAMEN OF THE GODS. Let me put this another way. Mexican lovers, is Taco Bell authentic Mexican?
I may have to eat my own foot this thread has me so hungry.
pork skins
ice cream, I just eat about anything and dont really care.
anything with lots of SUGAR!
so many things... gahhh!!
Chocolate or ice cream are the usual ones. And very occasionally, wine!
But it's all give and take. I do enough exercise to keep my weight at the ideal for a girl of my height. So they're less guilty than otherwise could be.

Taco Bell is alright - Americanized Mexican food. What can I say?
It really isn't so hard to make your own. I do once or twice a week.
Oh yeah!
I have made about every single Mexican dish known to humanity. Even make my own tortillas and enchilada sauce.
As for Taco Bell, I was raised on it. I do frequently crave it. I just think it is its own food group rather than Mexican.
Hmm well Oscar Meyer and I have a good thing going, he always wants my buns! ::)
Noo, Hot Dogs actually make me sick. Anyone else feel sick after eating hot dogs?
Lots of Pizza, ICE CREAM, Brocoli and cheese, the Chinese buffet but I hardly go there.
We should just start an ice cream thread. :P
Adding another one that I have been craving since friday. A Twix milkshake oh or a chocolate cherry coffee milkshake. I know it isn't something that everyone would like but I love them.

beef chop suey from a family owned take out with the old style recipe with none of that yuppie broccolli or carrots or other American vegetables to try to make it look healthy . just the good water chestnuts and sprouts.

Ooh I haven't had chop suey in years. Loved it so much as a kid, but everyone I do Chinese with nowadays always wants chow mien.

"Chop suey" was invented in America!
Then why doesn't American chop suey ever use fresh suey?
Answer me that!

Apparently, "tsap sueh" is Cantonese for "leftovers". :-\
I grew up with the best beef chop suey from a family owned take out down the street . The beef chop suey was perfect no need for the American vegetables. I don't Know If it's possible other then making it your self to find it done right any more. Saw a small take out awhile back that looked promising so I ordered and got broccilli and carrots and what ever, takes away from the flavor. You can special order from an understanding Chinese cook though.
The history channel web page has a chop suey recipe the closely approximates what you use to be able to get as take out.

Also if a Chinese immigrant invents a cuisine to please a palate that is not Chinese make that cuisine an American invention.
Seems someone hit a nerve...
...and I am hungry again.
Wow, I understand pregnant women so much better.

have a Chinese cucumber pickle
Bacon.
Although it's not so much a guilty pleasure, in that I don't feel guilty about eating it.
At least until my third sandwich.
Just about anything by Little Debbie, especially Nutty Bars!

I think most of what we call "Chinese food" was. A friend from mainland China once told me that they refer to what is served here as "American food".
There's a lot of rice involved and an occasional wok stir-fry, but if you go to Beijing looking for General Tso's chicken or sweet-and-sour pork, nobody will know what the hell you're talking about. Expect organ meats. And yes, China is a HUGE place with many local cuisines and delicacies. People just eat what is readily available to them.
Ben and Jerry's, all of it, I have 4 tubs in my freezer right now...
Those guys have allot to answer for -.-'

so can I at least eat an egg role and feel authentic

with sweet and sour source
Most of what american's consider ethnic food is not an accurate representation of the food eaten in those actual countries, and is thus an american invention. That doesn't, however, mean its not delicious :-)
My guilty pleasure it to sit and eat an entire 1 pound chub of salami. Sadly I can't do that anymore. In California you could go into any grocery store and buy a chub of gallo salami. Since moving to the midwest two and a half years ago I have no found one grocery store that sells salami. :'(
Try Whole Foods.
egg roles are eaten in south eastern china so they're safe to eat/
Quote from: Tori on January 28, 2014, 07:43:16 PM

No whole foods here. My options are Walmart, Target, Maijer, Marsh, and Kroger. Places like Whole Foods and Trader Joes are waaaaay too "left wing" for the small town republican corn farming midwesterners around here.

doesn't Kroger have a deli, they should have salami. You might be able to get them to order it for you

All of those places have a deli... So, yeah. I could probably order it. But, that'd be expensive. It'd be cheaper just to have a friend in california mail me some.
A good Italian dried salami should ship very well.
I am hungry again.
how about deep fried Baby Ruth bars. never had a deep fried candy bar, they say they're good though

ANYTHING is super awesome when it's been deep fried. ;D

Those who know, KNOW.
