Whats up with pop tarts?

[MrcsBud2]

I have been hearing and seeing tons of ppl eating pop tarts pre or post workout and i want to know whats the deal with them? Would having them pre or post along with some protein not be a horrible thing? Just seems to sound odd that i see and hear of ppl doing this.

Eat em if ya like em. That's about it.

Good amount of p/c/f and calorie dense for very cheap. Good to have around when your bulk cal requirements get big. I also think the strawberry and cinnamon ones taste good.

[Mikelh]

im assuming people enjoy them?

[mudkipez]

It's not something you'd want to be having too much though.. unless you want to become a diabetic.
There's nothing wrong with any kind of food in moderation.. except **** with trans fat.
Oh yeah, and people have them because.. they like them lol.

[Ben6485]

s'mores are the best ones by far
strawberry is 2nd

I think he mean a good amount of protein as well because of the protein shake OP said he would have with it.

Once again you have been exposed for the ignoramus you truly are.

Toaster strudels > pop tarts. Leave those cardboard consistency pastries to the proletariats.

Ppl originally though pop-tarts were bad because they had bad macros but ppl discovered that they could fit it into their macros so they enjoy showing off what they can eat w/their macros by eating pop-tarts, it's calorie dense taste artifical and taste decent but isn't filling, basically ppl ate it to show off to others....

I don't believe that for a second. And even if it was to show off, what does it matter? If people fit what many call "junk food" it into their macros, I find it humorous to show it off...much like the entire "Ice Cream Eating Now" thread. Some balk at it, I find it fun...and delicious.

Oh, and SMORES pop tarts!

They taste very good, they are loaded with carbs, and contain moderate to low amounts of fat. When compared to other processed bakery items, they have far less fat and offer much greater variety.

[Gemuadrken]

Just another food that represents flexible dieting.

For me they are delicious but no number of them is satisfying, so i stay away from them.

[gixxer0.6g]

It's just a carb. And a lot of them. If they fit your macros go right ahead. Problem is, a couple of those and I'm already at my carb limit and 25% of my calories.

Make your own Pop Tarts, alter P/F/C as you see fit:

Easy cheap source of carbs. Helps in a pinch when you need to catch up on calories/macros. Seeing as I'm cutting and don't like putting them into my normal days, I usually incorporate them into my re-feeds.
