Ask Lemmy

These things:

My store is out of them but right now it's wafer rolls. They come in orange, vanilla and strawberry flavors. All of them are damn good and I end up eating the whole jar once I start eating a few of them.

A shitload of my favorite brand of protein bars, tastes just close enough to a chocolate bar that I dont feel cheated.

Also the fitness branded protein ice creams. 360 calories and I get to fuck up a whole pint watching TV?

And both of them help me hit my protein targets for the day.

Breakfast cereal

My wife and I both agree that it's a dessert, not a food XD

anything that comes in little pieces, like toffeefe or manner.

I'm on a diet but a huge sweettooth. This helps me grab one of them as a dessert after a healthy meal.

Microwave popcorn. It's convenient enough that I can make it easily any time, but just inconvenient enough that it doesn't all get horked down on the first day.

Anything remotely resembling a snack will not be left for long so we don't keep anything.

None. If it's here, I'm eating it. I sometimes bring some home on grocery day but it's always gone that day.

Usually, pototo chips, chocolate covered pretzels, gummies, chocolate cover gummies.

None. If I crave for something crunchy I eat carrots or nuts. If I want to eat sweets I make my own brownies, marzipan or chocolate chip cookies. And if I really want to each chips/crisps I make my own batch.

Nuts. Many kinds of nuts - peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews... Various mixes, sometimes with dried fruits, then there's the spiced and coated varieties

Unsalted cashew nuts and french fries. The nuts I eat as is and usually run out by the end of the week. French fries I toss into the air fryier when ever I don't feel like cooking.

ricey crackers, they have chocolate and rice. everything one needs, besides some water..

Junk food is a metaphor for thermodynamics. Nothing lasts. if it's in stock, then it's eaten. So I try not to buy any. But even then I will dip strawberries in sugar.

Girardhelli brownie mix. Not claiming it's the best ever but it's 100x better than the Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines crap. But there's also the barrier of 5-10 mins prep and 25+ mins baking so it's not instant gratification y'know?

Once you bake a pan though it's pretty great for the next day or two. Assuming you're not too concerned with your waistline.

Edit: Oh and a box is like $3 at Big Lots. But you do have to supply an egg and cooking oil.

Potato chips/crisps!

Dark chocolate. Sweet enough to satisfy sugar cravings, but a low enough sugar content I can chomp on one to get my blood sugar up before going to the corner store for breakfast.

Frozen mango pieces. I love eating those whenever I’m in the mood for something to snack.

Not sure if it counts as junk food, but it’s something I always try to keep at home. Though lately they’ve been sold out at the supermarket. So I’m forced to fall back on my 2nd choice, frozen raspberries.

Breakfast bars. They're not just for breakfast!

I'm also partial to chips & salsa.

The only one we keep stocked is milk. We make all kinds of desserts at home, like ice creams, cakes, pies, and pastries, but they never stay around for long.

Pretzel rods. Chunky salt. Good crunch. Rods are the best hard pretzel shape.

Reese's Pieces.

I miss trader Joe's dried chili mango and candied hibiscus, their entire dried fruit section really.

Ritz peanut butter crackers for as my fat intake.
