What is your "goto" junk food?
I'm watching a global athletic event on TV (The Open) which will go for 6 hours or so. Decided to treat myself to non-healthy calories to accompany me watching the event. So what junk food(s) do you indulge in to watch a televised sporting event?
Mine is Twizzlers and/or peanut M&M's.

My guilty pleasure is an oatmeal cookie, but they are not on the diet program. Honey BBQ chips are the next best thing for me.

Potato chips. I just resist the temptation to buy them because, once I start, I cannot stop.

Salted in-the-shell peanuts are my favorite... but they are very messy. Corn chips are a close second. OTOH, when it comes to junk food, I'm not very discriminating.

I never watch televised sporting events.
But anyway, favorite junk food.... I guess saltines? I'm restricting my calories to lose weight, but one saltine is just 14 calories according to MyFitnessPal dot com.
So, I had three as a bedtime snack last night for just 42 calories.

The only thing which regulates how often I buy them is the price. It is tough to find chips for under $4 a pound. When they are on sale once in a while for under $4 a pound, I buy them. It doesn't happen too often. I can woof them down pretty quickly.

Agreed. But it's a seasonal indulgence for me, allowed only during Winter holidays.
