What is worse a doughnut or a funnel cake and is it OK I ate a funnel cake while on my diet? Please help me?

[Supercutestuff]

I'm on a diet. I'm about 5'4 140 pounds not out of shape but feel fat due to my weight. We went to the piccolo spoileo festival yesterday. Which is like a bunch of performances and what not, and I couldn't resist myself from a funnel cake. I ate half. Then took small pieces of the other half. Then threw the rest in a lake. And I was very self conscious after eating this in fear I would gain a pound so I went in a porta potty attempting to puke but it didn't come up too easily. My usual calorie goals are anywhere from 600-1450 because my BMR is about 1500. Anyways now, I feel like sh*t. I have in congestion. And I feel nauseated. Why do you think I'm feeling this way? This feeling is similar to the feeling I had when I ate doughnuts in the past. Where when you taste it coming up it doesn't taste as good as when you first ate it if you know what I mean... I'm 13. I'm trying to lose weight I usually resrict myself from sweets unless on very special occasions and am very picky but I ate one of the WORST things possible to eat yesterday. Will I gain a pound? What should I do to make the nausea go away? Should I starve myself for a day as punishment for going against my diet?And are funnel cakes WORSE then doughnuts!? Please help! Thanks so much it is very appreciated!

You feel like sh*t because of your puke attempt. That's not a normal function and puts a enormous amount of stress on your body. At your age you shouldn't be focused on eating less, you should be focused on eating well and getting a lot of exercise while growing. You won't gain a pound, nor should you starve yourself if you don't want to gain that pound. Starving yourself puts your body into survival mode and will hang on to all your belly fat. Instead of expelling what your body doesn't use, it will store -every little bit- of what you don't use as fat. Don't give yourself mental problems by completely obliterating some fatty foods you love. It's perfectly fine to indulge once in a while.

could be sick because your depriving your body of something it needs. you need to eat cals to lose cals. doing cardio in the morning is the best way to go about losing weight because it fires up your metabolism for the rest of the day so your body keeps burning cals even after your done your cardio. don't eat before doing cardio in the morning cause you'll feel bloated but try and drink a few cups of water so your muscles don't seize up. so by not eating your body will use those fat stores for energy instead of the food in your belly. be sure to eat something afterward though, like oatmeal with some fruit in it or something.

I would think a funnel cake because they just sit frying in all of that oil & absorb more oil than a doughnut. Than sugar, sugar, sugar. Doughnut do too, but not quite as much. Either way, neither are good for you.

Go ahead & find your splurge each week, maybe a couple times a week. Like 1, yes, one bite of dark chocolate. Satisfying, not bad for you, and not a terrible cheat.

Any time you fall off the wagon, just say Ooops! And climb back on.

I think how they are prepared are the least of your worries. Both of them are things you should stay away from if you want to lose weight and be healthy. The best way to combat it is to exercise it off. Worrying about it can cause your body to gain weight from stress. Just exercise a little more to work those calories off and take it as a lesson learned. You'll be okay.

Don't beat yourself up, just get back on it tomorrow :).

You don't have to compensate for what you ate, just eat your normal calorie restricted diet.

I do suggest eating more calories though. If your BMR is 1500, then you want to eat at least 1500 calories per day.

Doughnuts are the worst diet wrecker because of the huge saturated fat content. No, don't starve yourself; punishment isn't an incentive for people.

Instead, when you have lost weight during a week, treat yourself to ONE small indulgence not part of your diet, as a reward. But, God forbid, NO doughnuts, ever.

You can't change what you ate yesterday.

Let the past go, focus on the present and the future will take care of itself.
