Jalapeno pina de casa, Vegemite and an ice cold Peroni. Keep your cheat codes 
Is that Vegemite in larger? If so that might be the most Australian thing I’ve ever heard and a flat out abomination.

You dare insult vegemite?! 
Having grown up in San Diego, I am gravely upset at how you’ve abused the noble jalapeño.
That said, even though this isn’t the confession thread, I do need to confess that I am so broken that I look forward to that meal every night.
There is no meal so shitty I don’t look forward to it.
Granted, my meals are not as bad as yours, but I have just now joyously eaten my three egg (scrambled in Pam, salted) breakfast. Which breakfast I have joyously eaten every single day since…hmm…like two years ago. During my really sedentary phase I’d occasionally have just two eggs, but I suffered for the reduction.

I don’t feel I have that many bad meals. Last night, we had turkey bacon wrapped meatloaf, which I’m also having for lunch today.
But concur. I can eat the same thing everyday and be excited about it each time. I had the same lunch everyday of high school: 2 PBJs, a protein bar, a tin of fruit cocktail and a bottle of water. I can still taste it. First sandwich was the main course, second one was dessert, eaten at the end.

Real pbjs or ones made with keto bread, nuts n more and sugar free jam 
That stuff didn’t exist when I was in high school.
EDIT: I’ll add that, having tried it, I found the nuts n more makes poor sandwiches. It’s a bit too sweet. It’s why I spread it on the celery instead of on the bread. The bread is just natural PB.

Just a thought…
Since these “healthier” versions of high calorie/high carb foods taste basically the same, is there any good reason to eat the “real” version?
There’s always a trade off when you eat a processed food vs an unprocessed, and though peanut butter is, of course, the result of processing, there’s something to be said about eating something that has the ingrediants of “peanuts” vs “Peanuts, Whey Protein Isolate, Cane Sugar, Chocolate Liquor, Cocoa Butter, Whole Milk, Sea Salt, Soy Lecithin, Natural Sweetener (Xylitol), Peanut Oil, Natural Sprinkles (Sugar, Corn Starch, Vegetable Oil, Fruit And Vegetables For Color, Sunflower Lecithin, Carnauba Wax), Natural Flavor, Sea Salt, Flax Meal.”
I strive for a balance in that regard.

True, in the case of peanut butter, but what about keto bread vs white bread or smuckers jam made with hfcs vs sugar free jam or candy bar vs quest bar
Keto bread is so radically different from bread that they don’t compare. They provide entirely different nutrients. Same is to be said of the other products. There are definite reasons to consume one over the other.

I was using myfitnesspal for my weight loss phase however decided to shake it up and pay for a subscription with CarbonDiet.
Been impressed so far. Will give it a few more weeks before I decide to recommend it or not.
Anyone else tried it?

I think any “real” version trumps a frankensteined version. For example, whole eggs over egg whites, full fat grass fed dairy over skim dairy, honey over sucralose, natural peanut butter over PB2, beef jerky over quest bars, coffee over Red Bull, Sierra Nevada pale ale over Michelob Ultra, etc, etc… That said, I realize altered versions have their place in short term goals, and can be used effectively if employed correctly. Also, I don’t mean to sound “holier than thou”, as I’ve been known to eat many a Met-Rx bar to tide me over in the afternoon. (Met-Rx were the first nutrition bars I had, and still by far my favorite).

I was just wondering because some of the stuff the "frankensteined " version is copying is crap in the first place
it made me strangely sad in a way because now I have no “excuse” to indulge
With that said, I don’t enjoy most of those things in the first place, which is why it is so weird
One need not have an excuse to indulge: that defeats the purpose of indulging.
