This is the Cookie Cottage.
Yes, a cookie shop.
It's probably my favourite shop in the town in which I live.
Now, I'm somebody who eats a diet of almost entirely whole foods, so trips to this store are few and far between.
However, I have always had a 'sweet tooth', despite such foods making me look, feel, and perform worse.
Why don't I go here every single day?
Because I'd get fat.
Why don't I go here every single week?
Because my cravings nor hunger are that high.
But I 'could' go every single week. I just choose not to.
Instead, I go roughly once a month, usually the last Sunday of the month as a nice treat.

You CAN eat whatever you like when trying to get and stay in shape. Literally anything.
If any coach tells you to avoid individual foods or food groups, or perhaps entire macronutrients, get the hell away from them.
What matters is that you hit your calorie targets, protein targets, essential vitamin, and mineral targets.
You can achieve all of those while still enjoying some of your favourite treats each week.
Just understand that you probably can't eat them every single day, or else you will struggle to eat productively.
