It's easy to make a statement but try and back it up.

First - let me say, everything I'm going to say is about me and my food plan. I am a big believer in personal choice and making the right decision for you. I don't think there is one right answer for everyone - not even close.

Forget the calories for a second, although 920 is a LOT in my opinion and if I were researching a restaurant entree with 900 calories posted online, I would skip it or pack up half immediately (900 calories for dinner is not a healthy choice for me).
Maybe the pizza rolls are unhealthy because they have 98% of the daily recommended allowance of sodium?
Or a 100% of the daily recommended allowance of saturated fat?
Ranch dipping sauce just makes it worse, btw.
Saying a pizza product is healthy because it has bread, meat, veggies and cheese - that doesn't make any sense to me. A corn dog has bread and meat - is it healthy? An Outback Steakhouse Bloomin' Onion is a vegetable - is it healthy?
I admit to seeing some foods as bad - but let me clarify - bad for ME. My body, my choice of what goes in to it. That being said, of course I have treats and special occasion foods. My treats are more like a glass of red wine (or 2) and chocolate molten lava cake.
In any case, these pizza rolls aren't my thing - I was never a big fan of super bready things. Pizza - sure, pizza rolls? Nah, just not a big pull for me. If I did want to eat them, I would, but I wouldn't try to argue they were healthy foods. If I wanted them, if they fit into my plan, I would eat them anyway (like red wine, like cheesecake, like nachos, or donuts or any of the other treat foods I have eaten since I started maintaining my weight loss).
I don't think there is a right or wrong answer to treat foods - but saying these pizza rolls are healthy? In my opinion, no way. I wouldnt consider them a healthy food for me, and they aren't "worth it enough" to me to eat them (like chile dark chocolate gelato
).
I think people can be successful by putting some foods off limits and people can also be successful putting no food off limits. Since I do choose not to eat some foods, it is always hurtful when someone implies I am FAILING by not eating some foods. WTF. I have lost 70lbs and have kept it off for 4 years - I am working it, baby. I'm not going to feel guilty about choices I make for me, my weight maintenance and my health.
I love this kid!
