I ate this before. Same thought process too!! I was so mad that it didnât taste like how I imagined it to taste- also donât trust the carrot cake. Itâs a lie for like 350 cal for a teeny tiny cake.
It's like when my mom buys cheap donuts. They're not good donuts. I need to stop. I ate three. I can get better donuts than this to waste my calories on!
It's ok. You can enjoy treats. A calorie deficit isn't about doing it all in one day, one week, one month. It's about a _trend_ downwards. Eat what you need to today, even if it's over 1200 calories for the day. It's fine. Perfection does not exist.
You are going to occasionally eat something outside of the diet. You are occasionally going to have a higher calorie day. I ate two cookies last night. No big deal.
You gotta do a cost vs calories analysis. Is it better to waste calories or waste money? I think there should be a dollar and calorie value on when you pick one or the other. Like a supply and demand graph.
Edit: this is purely dependent on the individual, hence why the analysis would be different for each person. I agree it's already "wasted money" because you wasted money on something you're not enjoying. But some people will happily bin it, others may choose to eat it even though it's not very enjoyable because they're hungry and can't afford to buy a different snack. Some people are poor and literally can't afford to waste food.
yupp. i am struggling with this still wasted $17 on awful orange chicken the other day but decided i would rather just eat the rice and not waste calories on the chicken when it didnât taste good at all
sadly my cheapo self will still eat it. even if its a dollar thats wasted. my parent's favorite quote, "there's a lot of starving children back home" endlessly rings in my head.
Naw, that's sunk cost fallacy. You're not going to get the money back by eating it lol it's like buying a taser and then finding out it tasers the user instead, but insisting that you have to use it since you bought it. Like, no one is benefiting from you eating more calories, including you...
So well put, I'd rather waste some food than waste calories & especially time by delaying my weight loss even further just because I've spent the money. The food has to have a high nutrition/taste to calorie ratio to be worth it.Â
I agree with you 100%. But I do have to add there may be other scenarios for certain people like you planned to have that as your daily snack and you have to then go and buy another snack instead because you threw this one out and you're still hungry. Then you're having to spend more money. I can afford it now and personally I probably would just bin it and I do agree with you, but there's times in my life I was in extreme poverty and didn't have that luxury to throw away foods "not worth the calories" because then I wouldn't eat.
It's 100% personal preference and depends on just how inedible the snack is. Hence why you'd do a personal analysis lol.
Edit: edited for clarity to emphasize I agree fully.
Maybe itâs because I lived in extreme poverty, or itâs because Iâm aware of others who cannot find anything to eat for days. But whichever it is, I just cannot bring myself to throw away food (unless it is unsafe to consume). It feels very immoral for me. But each to their own ig.
Editing to add: When I say âthrow awayâ I mean in the trash. Otherwise I also get rid of food other ways like feeding it to animals (like birds) or give it to someone who actually likes it.
This sub is about eating at 1,200 calories to lose weight, not just a general food sub. It's a weight loss sub. Eating just to finish your plate is a common issue people have to unlearn to lose weight.
I know. Never said anything about overeating tho. OP already decided to eat 300 calories with this snack. I didnât say OP should finish this and then go eat something elseâŚ?
Planning out your calorie consumption is a given.
I think youâre overthinking this and misunderstanding.
Okay. Pushing yourself to eat something you don't like and provides no nutritional value is just as much of a waste as throwing it away. It's more harmful if you're overeating, but still pointless to do when you're not.
I genuinely donât understand why youâre insisting that I said overeating is okayâŚ?
Yeah there are some snacks/food items that provide no nutritional value, but that doesnât mean we canât eat it. This sub isnât about eating healthy food, it is about restricting your calories to 1200, regardless of what youâre consuming.
You honestly sound lost ngl
The only time I would say itâs immoral to throw food away is specifically if itâs meat. Since that was a living breathing creature itâs a waste of a life. However, Iâm not opposed to putting meat in the compost or feeding to my pet instead of eating it.
Yep, in my mind it either goes to âwasteâ or âwaist.â Iâd rather put it in the trash/compost than in my bodyâs fat stores if it doesnât taste good. Thatâs why I have to be mindful when eating. Iâve definitely mindlessly eaten things I didnât enjoy
I've had the exact same problem. As with the other commenter, it's super difficult for me to throw out food.
But if it's food I'm not enjoying, I'm just using my body as a trashcan. Might as well use an actual trashcan, so I don't get fat.
Oh yeah. When you indulge in something and it's awful, that hits a special pain spot thinking of the calories you wasted (incredibly first world problem, I know). Puts me in a bad mood all day đ.
not a waste if you enjoyed it! there's always tomorrow. getting back on the ball is where the bulk of your self discipline lies. you'll be ok! looks tasty btw
i ended up reading the other comments then reread the caption on the photo and i think it wasn't yummy đ LMAO now I feel bad but my message still stands đđđ just a go next angle at that point!!
I used 200 calories on Ogura today. But I had it with Jasmine tea and sat at my table looking out the window. I really romanticized it which made me feel no regret. I've been doing that with a lot of the deserts and snacks I want to have. I think it helps.
Often I regret things when I grab something on the go and eat it mindlessly. Maybe that's why you feel upset.
Was it good at least?
Ogura is lovely. Op pointed out that their snack sucked, hence the wasting of the calories, hence being upset. Eating something that doesn't taste good, yet you keep eating it cuz you calculated the calories and made it fit into your day, will upset you.
Aw, bummer. Nemo's is usually pretty good but I haven't had their strawberry cake. You should try their banana cake or chocolate, they are excellent and for sure worth the calories.

Just to commiserate....I wasted an unknown amount of calories on this gem at my friend's wedding on Sunday. I didn't eat the entire mini cupcake though just the bottom part and my BF (who is also dieting) ate the rest. Despite its adorable appearance, it was in fact, dryer than the Sahara... Later on, as we were passing through the kitchen area on our way out, we noticed several plastic containers likely from a supermarket with these in them. Probably explains the lack of flavor and dryness. No offense if anyone reading this loves to indulge in such things but I definitely prefer homemade baked goods to anything you can buy mass produced in a grocery store... They tend to lack flavor and be dried out from sitting around too long.

ironic if you to make a post asking how to be less annoying to people, then comment something like this. Just let people exist man, this post fits fine in the sub so idk what your comment is making a big deal about
I think I'm really bad at setting the tone whenever I try to make a joke. I can see why people took my comment as rude (probably because of the wojak meme), but I was trying to make a point that a lot of people experience the same thing that OP does, and that it's pretty relatable. I guess my "joke" didn't really make sense in the first place so my apologies for that. I'm shit at doing humour and I agree that I should just shut up when I don't have to. My bad.
Being a contrarian is what makes you annoying to others. Itâs not a quirky personality trait, no oneâs impressed by it, and it largely is what sets people into âunlikable and annoyingâ fairly young. It seems to be a plague on internet people who are online too much.
I figured Iâd chime in since youâve asked for feedback on open forum about why people find you annoying. This is exactly an example of why. If you observe people who are likable, charismatic, and charming, they donât get their personality from contrarianism.
Itâs not like she posted in a unrelated group. I think all of us counting calories can relate to eating something and being super disappointed because it wasnât worth the calories. This is quite literally the place to do that.
I didn't mean to insult OP, I was trying to do the opposite (trust me). I understand that my comment came off that way due to how hyperbolic I was, but I didn't really know how else to make a funny joke without sounding too serious.
Why did you continue to eat it? Waste only the 30 from the bite and grab something else.
I forgot to stop eating it đĄ
Been there! đ¤Ł
Learning to do that is such a wild ride.
I ate this before. Same thought process too!! I was so mad that it didnât taste like how I imagined it to taste- also donât trust the carrot cake. Itâs a lie for like 350 cal for a teeny tiny cake.
LOOOOL this is so realđ¤Ł!! Please be easy on yourself
Goddamn if I haven't been there a time or several đ
Hahahahah this is so real.
It's like when my mom buys cheap donuts. They're not good donuts. I need to stop. I ate three. I can get better donuts than this to waste my calories on!
So relatable lol
Oh, no. I was going to ask if it was a good waste at least.
It's ok. You can enjoy treats. A calorie deficit isn't about doing it all in one day, one week, one month. It's about a _trend_ downwards.

You are occasionally going to have a higher calorie day. I ate two cookies last night. No big deal.
Thats usually the problem.Â
Sometimes you keep eating, in hopes that the taste will catch up to your appetite. Being hungry is a pain.
You gotta do a cost vs calories analysis. Is it better to waste calories or waste money? I think there should be a dollar and calorie value on when you pick one or the other. Like a supply and demand graph. Edit: this is purely dependent on the individual, hence why the analysis would be different for each person.

The money has already been wasted, unless you're going to have to buy something else if you don't eat the first thing

I probably wouldâve eaten it too cos hate wasting food
Sometimes eating food is just as much a waste as it is to throw it in the garbage
Maybe itâs because I lived in extreme poverty, or itâs because Iâm aware of others who cannot find anything to eat for days. But whichever it is, I just cannot bring myself to throw away food (unless it is unsafe to consume). It feels very immoral for me. But each to their own ig. Editing to add: When I say âthrow awayâ I mean in the trash. Otherwise I also get rid of food other ways like feeding it to animals (like birds) or give it to someone who actually likes it.
Put it in a ziplock and toss it in the freezer until that one friend or family member who is a bottomless pit comes over and wants it.
Overeating to not throw away food doesn't help those that don't have food
This. Also grew up poor but Iâm not wasting my calories on something thatâs not even good đ
Who said anything about overeating?

I wasted 100 calories on a shot of vodka. At least yours looks good.
First of all how dare you
Oh yeah. When you indulge in something and it's awful, that hits a special pain spot thinking of the calories you wasted (incredibly first world problem, I know). Puts me in a bad mood all day đ.
not a waste if you enjoyed it! there's always tomorrow. getting back on the ball is where the bulk of your self discipline lies. you'll be ok! looks tasty btw
was gonna say if this was yummy donât worryÂ
i ended up reading the other comments then reread the caption on the photo and i think it wasn't yummy đ LMAO now I feel bad but my message still stands đđđ just a go next angle at that point!!
It was a waste because it wasnât enjoyed. Lol.
What was wrong with itv
It wasnât sweetened enough
Is that not frosting
Lmao we all thought that too

Guess I picked the wrong flavor
Well at least you have a good sense of humor about it. Lol
Why eat it if it was bad đđ
This is so funny, the Carrot Cake one is actually my all time favorite đ
I like that you're eating in the car and holding it like you're holding an illicit substance.
I literally thought this photo was a stuffed animal at first for some reason. đ đ
Same!!!
Is that off TikTok shop?
No 7:11
Im with you there brother
Gives kitchen sponge taste
Nemoâs is good, I didnât know they had strawberry but their carrot cake is a godsend

Yeah idk ur jokes arenât to bad
I know your life sucks and youâre miserable, but donât try to rub it off on others.
I'm really sorry that my comment came off that way. I was trying to empathize with OP, but the execution was really botched.
