Stuff like that is something I figure is better than just eating the straight garbage version because at least you’re getting protein and the calories aren’t too bad

I don’t think anyone is fooling themselves into eating pre-made pancakes and thinking they are health food lol

It’s like these stupid “health” instagram posts “bro did you know there’s 900 calories in this venti birthday cake shake?!?!” Like yea no shit it’s a fucking milkshake lol

Admittedly it may be a decent replacement for a stack of flapjacks on a sunday morning treat, but don't fool yourself to start eating these daily for breakfast thinking it's nutritious.

Maybe this is why you are having a tough time in the weight loss accountability thread :pokerface:

Hey shaddup. I ain’t listening to some male model about nutrition. I’d only listen if you were at one point 400lbs and now you’re 200lbs. Otherwise you genetically gifted retards can all shut the hell up

Costco sells Banana Republic branded stuff and Robert Graham dress shirts for less than $30. You can't buy 100% merino wool sweaters for less than 30 bucks anywhere these days besides Costco.

Speaking of less unhealthy junk food, the Kirkland Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks are legit and have actually decent macros

Dipped in a homemade Greek yogurt ranch dressing, perfect bulking snack.

since we're talking about heathy snacks. does anyone pay attention to the ingredients?

enriched wheat flour is in everything, same with the canola/soybean oils. then all the shit you can't pronounce.

it's very tough to buy anything these days that doesn't have this stuff other than the raw ingredients to make something.

Badhobz 01-07-2025 11:35 AM

we all gonna die of something, so whatever enjoy what you eat and eat more of it. o right.. you wackos and your kids.. i guess you got something to live for.

i bought every single Robert Graham (despite not the best quality (tier 4 quality) - i know this cause my dad used to be R Graham brand whore - started with 2 shirts.. so so expensive, then i start seeing them at Costco and at winners.. so now i just buy for him, he owns at least 20 jackets, shirts, belts, polos.. LOL

+1 to this. I do pay attention and am aware of foods that use flour as well as particular oil, but if I am getting junk food and snacks, I won't go out of my way to not eat it or buy a shittier tasting version of something.

If given the choice (e.g. chinese noodles) I usually opt for rice-based carbs (rice noodles 'fun' vs flour noodles 'mein') i just feel less bloaty (might be completely psychosomatic but regardless it works for me).

But if I am craving bread, pasta, or pizza I don't go out of my way to get a gluten free version or some shit.

EvoFire 01-07-2025 02:08 PM

The "fun" vs "mein" thing has a lot to do with how your body reacts and less the actual ingredients. My mom reacts poorly to "fun" and usually avoids it because it makes her bloat.

unit 01-07-2025 02:30 PM

im definitely trying to cut down on using cooking oil in general. when i used to use 2T now i use maybe 2t, so about 1/3rd. makes cooking stuff a bit harder and probably less flavour, but thats a sacrifice im willing to make when it comes to home cooking. doesn't have to taste restaurant grade. plus i drown half my food in msg hot sauce anyway like LGM. also trying to cut down on that... excess oil, salt, etc..

Hondaracer 01-07-2025 02:43 PM

Yea I bought that 3 pack of all-clad non stick skillets because I wanted to use less oil

Have all full stainless all-clad otherwise which I’ve learned over time to use less oil, but cooking with little to no oil with stainless is virtually impossible.

Highly recommend that 3 pack of all clad when they are around. Amazing deal for $70

you mean this but it comes around for $70? seems really good. must be some sort of lower grade all clad since they are usually at least $100 each? still must be 10x better than the shitty ikea non stick i bought because i liked the size. food stuck to it pretty much the first time i used it.

bcrdukes 01-07-2025 03:07 PM

It's nowhere near the real All-clad stuff, but like you said, it is better than the Ikea stuff. I'm on my second set because the first one lost its coating in a matter of weeks, so keep an eye out for that.

Hondaracer 01-07-2025 03:10 PM

Yea like obviously it isn’t on the level of their D3 shit or whatever my sauce pan costs as much as 4 sets of those. But apparently some people dug a bit deeper into the non stick ones on Reddit etc. and the build quality and thickness is actually quite good for the price

super good deal. i love this. Even if you bought just qty of one (from winners) it was 34.99 so this was a steal.

Badhobz 01-07-2025 03:35 PM

I got the same 3 piece. It’s very very good. Super non stick.

Only downside is the big pan is heavy as fuck. Like China man wok heavy so midget spy can’t use it. That’s okay, she doesn’t cook anyways

mikemhg 01-08-2025 11:39 AM

^She orders $100 of Uber Eats everyday anyways, the fuck you need pans for.

Manic! 01-08-2025 03:13 PM

I have had all-clad before. The rivets that hold the handle are not non stick so stuff sticks to them all the time. Westopher gave some good advice. Buy what ever is cheap/onsale use them till the non stick fails (it always fails at some point) chuck em and buy new ones.

Hondaracer 01-08-2025 03:21 PM

$70 for 3 pans is pretty cheap

And with Costco.. go return them for 3 more? Lol

Badhobz 01-08-2025 03:53 PM

i used to do this with T-fal pans, but I haven't seen them for a while now

bought one set of 3 t fal pans, returned it like 5 times over 15 years.

These are pretty good. Would recommend.

In other news that no one except Badhobz cares about, I have the new black crew neck in hand now. :fuckyea:
