P.S: Is almost 19 considered still a "teenager", as in still needing calories to grow? I'll be 19 on the 14th of October.

I try to keep my calories to around 1500 per day. I am very sedentary (living the college life).

Bubububump.

Pathetic, I know.
But PLEASE! I'm desperate! I NEED ADVICE!!!

my binges are usually all on healthy and/or low cal food: fruit (especially frozen), high fiber tortillas/bread, cottage cheese, bowls of fiber one (resulting in lots of quality time with magazines in the restroom), veggies, lunch meat, tuna, chicken breast, and the like.

i think that if 100 calorie packs is all you eat, then there is a problem.

but sometimes i want to indulge in not-so-good-for-me foods, and portion control is nice. especially since, at times, i cannot be trusted with an entire box of something.

basically, they are good because they're convenient. most 100 calorie packs are not more or less healthy, but they are eye openers when it comes to portion sizing and nice to have around, in small doses.

100 calorie pizzas would be sort of nice.... doughnuts. pie. the list goes on.

not saying eating these would be healthier than a banana or an apple, but sometimes i just have a craving and want it. 100 calorie packs can help me resist the temptation to overindulge while giving me a little taste of what i want. everything in moderation, folks.

also, not to sound rude here, but the topic of this thread is "Things you wish you could get in 100 calorie packs". Not "Why 100 calorie packs aren't all they're cracked up to be".

And I'm not sure why pre-portioned olive oil would be an advantage.  I mean, is there really a need to take prepacked olive oil out to a restaurant?  I only use it when I cook at home, where I measure it out anyway.

 That's what I meant. I want pre portioned packets of olive oil that i can buy at the grocery store and use at home. I'm lazy and don't really like getting measuring spoons out for everything, so I think it would be nice to get squirt it and be done! When I mentioned the fast food restaurants, I was referring to the packaging they use for the ketchup and mustard that customers can just grab on their way out.

Lol. I wouldn't want to take olive oil to a restaurant either. Most use enough oil and butter as it is :)

sorry, i know this was posted a while ago, but i just wanted to respond:

the bottom line is that a vast majority of the media, particularly high fashion, promotes a body type that is unnaturally thin. i don't care if some models are "naturally" like that. most people aren't. advertisements make them feel like they should be. that's a problem.

heh... yea it was, but by the way blapityblap... there is such a thing as fat fetishism, especially nowadays on youtube... and these people are literally trying to gorge themselves to get fat, cause fat squishing is apparently a gorgeous sight to behold for people with fat fetishes. that's equally disturbing, and just as unhealthy if you ask me... it's like trading in one unhealthy obsession for another. >"<

and by the way, i do have a friend who's 5'9" (not 5'10" regrettably, but it's hard to find a 5'10" asian) and she has a BMI of 15.5. She has never gone on a diet in her life, eats just like any normal person, and loves desserts in particular. I've never seen her need to go purge after eating, and it's a close group of people that we usually hang around in school. she's always having lunch/dinner with someone or another (ie., she eats at least 2 meals a day, if it does happen that she eats nothing else whatsoever when she's home)... and she's never weighed a few pounds more or less than this since she was about 18, though she has absolutely no idea what sort of stuff is calorie dense and what's not (doesn't read nutrition labels). she just... maintains by following her appetite... so yea, such people exist too.

 doedoebird, i think it's safe to say you have proven me wrong.
but once again, does this friend look sick to you? probably not, because she is healthy.  in most (saying MOST, here) designer runway models i see, you can tell that they are starving themselves. at least, i can. you can see it in their eyes. they look tired, their skin color looks off to me (dull). yes, these women/girls are sick and do have a problem, and i think the media is sick for promoting this only because thin=money. do they realize what they are doing to some womens' self esteem?

i also agree that being underweight and overweight has it's health risks. personally, i think being underweight is more publicized as being beautiful, especially in the high fashion world.. which is what many young women look to for inspiration for how they should look. and, seeing women who are that thin portrayed as beautiful and superior can be triggering to someone already suffering from an eating disorder.

eating disorders are terrible diseases, and i'm rooting for anyone who has one (both underweight and not) to overcome it. but that's a whole other topic.

1) how often do you eat chocolate?: probably a couple times a week.

2) what's your favorite way to eat chocolate? (on it's own, in baked goods, ice cream, etc): probably brownies or chocolate frosting. or both. no, maybe ice cream. oh. and chocolate pudding. chocolate cheesecake is quite good too. chocolate necco wafers are bomb. mm. and tootsie rolls. s'mores too.

3) what's your least favorite way to eat chocolate?: pancakes. blech.

4) when was the last time you had chocolate, and what was it?: today. a healthy choice fudge bar.

5) what's your favorite chocolate combination? (ice cream, mint, strawberries, etc): probably mint and chocolate. although peanut butter and chocolate, cookies n' cream and chocolate, and coffee and chocolate come VERY close. actually, now that i think about it, i love them all...

6) what's your favorite kind of chocolate bar?: 3 musketeers mint, almond joy/mounds bars, reeses (even though it's not really a bar), goo goo clusters.

7) what's your least favorite kind of chocolate bar?: i can't stand crunch bars.

8) are you craving chocolate right now?: i probably will in a little while.

9) what's your favorite kind of baked good that contains chocolate?: red velvet cake

10) do you like dark, white or milk chocolate the best?: dark, dark, DARK!

it was a lot of healthy/low cal stuff that i binged on. i don't remember exact amounts or anything, but i binged on healthy choice fudge bars, sliced turkey breast, apples, wasa crackers, blueberries, turkey hot dogs, egg whites, fage total 0 yogurt, la tortilla factory tortillas, luna bars, sugarfree gum (even though i don't count it, i chewed through like 2 packs to help myself stop), fiber one cereal, oroweat light bread, fat free ice cream, cooked chicken breast grilled strips.. basically everything in the kitchen area of my dorm :( even though none of it was really "junk" food, it was a lot of food and it really adds up. not to mention low cal foods have more volume, so i looked like i was pregnant!!!

thanks. i've been writing down what i eat, but it doesn't seem to help me at all :(

Blapity, I do the savory oatmeal thing too, except I do it as a whole meal.  I call it my "oatmeal vegetable casserole" and it is fantastic.  I stir in steamed broccoli and cauliflower florets, carrots, peas, corn, garlic, and parmesan cheese.  Then I bake it in the oven.  It is delicious!

 and i thought i was weird! i am SO adding you as a friend :)

aw, why'd you have to tell me that? i'll probably be craving dairy queen for the next three weeks!
