My friend "b" posted this question so I thought I would make it into a full post. So here goes my answer. First, I truely believe that you should enjoy your food and not deprive yourself of your cravings. That being said, I think that there is a happy medium between eating the things you love and the things that are healthy for you.....hopefully some of these foods are both healgthy and you love them. You should know what goes in your body and what "comes out" or is burned each day also. If you are a person who's goal is to LOSE weight, then your balance needs to be more calories burned each day than taken in. If you want to GAIN weight, then you want more calories in than burned. And if you want to maintain, of course, you want these to be equal.
So if a cupcake each day is what makes you truely happy, then you need to incorporate that into your daily total calorie and make sure that, if you are going to eat those calories, that you also burn those calories. I have to admit, it will be a challenge getting ripped abs eating this EVERY day, but I am sure it can be done. Lots of core exercises, lots of cardio and being almost "perfect" with every other meal in your day may suffice, but in reality, ("b") it might be best to keep the cupcakes down to special occassions.
Hope that helps. Talk to you soon. :):)
