Moto Bro Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) I love Beef Jerky. It's not really junk food but it's my favorite snack. I also really like kettle cooked chips with salt and black pepper. I guess I prefer salty snacks over sweet stuff. But my favorite candy is probably Resees Peanutbutter Cups.Oh and I drink a ton of Mt. Dew. About 6 cans a day. Edited April 22, 2012 by GoN Commando Link to comment
Deathstar Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I cut out soda and replaced it with beer. lower calories and stuff. Link to comment
Emeraldwpn Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 The only time I drink soda is when I am having my weekly spice rum and coke mix, or when I go over someone's house and all they have to drink is soda. Even then, I will try to drink water instead. With that said; I drink water, kool-aid type mixes, and tea (which I consider the kool-aid type mixes).Snacks: I go from different type of chips, whatever I am craving; fruits here and there; and cookies. Sometimes, I replace any type of deserts with just some alcoholic beverage. Link to comment

Joshjrn Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Diet Coke is disgusting. I'd much rather drink water. Link to comment
Emeraldwpn Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) How dare you compare tea to Kool-Aid Because the forms I buy are all powdered. Every so often the lady makes actually tea, then we add sugar. Edited April 23, 2012 by Emeraldwpn Link to comment

Macho Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 A few years ago I was like most of you and just drank tons of soda but decided to cut it out. I don't really eat junk food but right now my favourite snack is just throwing some cottage cheese, jello and frozen berries in a blender together, tastes great! Link to comment
Dan G Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Stop being a cheap bastard and buy some tea leaves Or tea bags. They're much easier to deal with. Link to comment

They're much easier to deal with.Meh, only if you don't have the right stuff. I have a nice French Press that I got on sale for $30 (http://www.amazon.com/Bodum-Chambord-French-Coffee-Chrome/dp/B005ADS5TU/ref=pd_sim_k_1) and does double duty with tea and coffee. Anyway, the bags use garbage shaving essentially swept up off the floor when the real tea is processed. As a general rule of thumb, the bigger the piece of leaf, the higher quality the tea. Once you get to whole leaves, there are a couple of grades higher, but that's too expensive for me to even care about. All of that said, you will see a pretty substantial difference by simply upgrading from the bag shavings to pieces of leaves that expand to about an inch when submersed. This is a quick run-through if anyone is actually curious:http://www.wtea.com/about-tea_grading.aspx Edited April 23, 2012 by Joshjrn Link to comment
Dan G Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 When I say "tea", I mean stereotypical English breakfast tea. Not some exotic concoction you make by adding hot water to tea leaf fragments. I LOVE what I'd call tea but really don't like any of the other teas I've ever tried Link to comment
Joshjrn Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) You missunderstand. English breakfast is simply a type of blended black tea. I have some at home. Doesn't change the fact that there are grades of it, from powder on up to whole leaf.I do find it a touch ironic that you decry mixed teas while espousing one Edited April 23, 2012 by Joshjrn Link to comment
Scott Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I tend to do a Dr Pepper a day (16 ounces), skim milk at meals, and water with mixes otherwise. The problem is I snack all of the time. I just keep eating. Cheez-its, Wheat Thins (I LOVE those), etc. I figure my metabolism will slow down one day though. Link to comment
Muse Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Too many foods/snacks to choose. A shorter list would be things I don't like. Asparagus and broccoli. That's about it. I have a fearsome appetite.Ya'll should be drinking diet soda if you HAVE to drink soda. And fruits are superfluous if you take a multivitamin, fructose is treated the same metabolically as glucose and they have a surprisingly little amount of fiber.Eat meat.http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/04/120420105539.htm Link to comment
