I enjoy baking sometimes and i eat a lot of what i bake (my family and friends too), but now I want and is trying to lose weight. I’ve just started going to the gym (exhausting but it feels good at the same time). I haven’t thought about baking for awhile, and have not baked anything for a month or two. Since valentines day is coming up can’t help but think about baking some good old red velvet cupcakes for my friends, family, and well, myself. I know i can just bake without eating it but I don't know id probably want to. Such sweet desserts obv has a lot of sugar and such. Which is unhealthy and fattening, and these two things are what im tryna avoid rn, but then again baking is fun and desserts are delicious it makes people happy (most people at least). Ugh im confused im probably thinking too much about this like why not just bake the hell out of the kitchen woman!
From a weight loss perspective, how much damage is a few cupcakes going to do? None at all. You've got to look at the whole picture, if you're eating healthily and exercising throughout the week, you're fine.
These things are only an issue if you're eating cupcakes every day and not getting enough exercise.
If you're really worried about it, just exercise a little harder the next day and you'll be guaranteed to burn off any calories gained from eating some cupcakes. :)
Yes and no... yes because its fun, you learn and normally you get something good out of it. If you're baking often that's not good because then you'll just pick up weight from all the food, sadly.
I mean, It's a normal hobby. As with every hobby there are pros and cons. Of course those kind of sweets are fattening, but sadly you can't do anything about it, but if making them makes you and your family/friends happy, then one or two cupcakes won't hurt ;) just make sure you don't stop your excersising because of one cheat day
Ps. "I eat a lot of what I bake (my family and friends too)" sounds like you bake your friends and fam. Made me chuckle 😁

I find baking therapeutic and good. While listening to music.
If you like being in the kitchen and making things than just move on to other types of cooking. I learned to bake when I was a kid quite well but I haven't really baked since then but I make all kinds of things in the kitchen even though I'm on the Atkins diet
If you enjoy baking, then yes, baking is a great hobby! The only thing is that you might do some damage to people's waistlines, but that falls into the category of acceptable losses.
