TEEN Mom Mackenzie McKee chowed down on her favorite comfort foods as she confessed to being hit by the "munchies."
The MTV personality, 27, captured an image of her guilty pleasure snacks which included bags of pickles and pork rinds as well as a strip of beef jerky.
The Body By Mac fitness brand founder is clearly proof of a balanced lifestyle and gushed to fans in her Instagram Stories caption: "When you got diabetes and you got the munchies," followed by laughing and crying Emoji icons.
Mackenzie, who suffers from Type 1 diabetes, added: "Y'all I have been so hungry today.
"And carbs are not my friend."
Mom of three Mackenzie has been candid in talking publicly about her autoimmune disease.
Last year, she took to Twitter to appeal to Teen Mom fans for support as she wrote: “My cycle/blood sugars/hormones have never EVER been this unexplainably wack. WHAT in the HECK."
In another message, she followed: "I pray it levels out. It’s been rough. I can feel my eyesight getting weaker and I don’t want to start losing limbs.

“Yes, I am working closely with my doctor and have nearly tripled my insulin. But nothing seems to work when my hormones are wack. I’m nearly insulin resistant.
"I just want this to level out. And praying it’s not long term."

TOUGH TIME
Mackenzie's cravings come at a tough time for the MTV favorite after she was left "shocked and humiliated" in a "toxic" feud with her co-stars.
Mackenzie's exclusive confession to The Sun came after her "hurtful" snub, as she was not invited by MTV to film on the Family Reunion spinoff.
The nasty feud began as a co-star accused Mackenzie, 27, of "bullying" her and slammed her as "ignorant" for using a racial slur on social media.
Mackenzie revealed exclusively to The Sun: "I'm so confused that MTV was upset when I just said sorry to someone to try and unite."
The Teen Mom, who has been a part of the franchise since 16 and Pregnant, continued: "I was definitely confused and heartbroken and my eyes were opened up to what's going on with the world with cancel culture.
"It was shocking, humiliating, and embarrassing."
Mackenzie elaborated: "I'm disappointed I'm known as the one left out when other girls are sharing clickbait about each other, and that's so toxic."
MACK SACKED?
Mackenzie also previously revealed to The Sun that she hasn't been asked to film for the next season of Teen Mom yet.
The reality star said: "MTV was there when my first child was born and they were a huge part of my mom. They always respected my mom and my mom always loved them."
Mackenzie's mother Angie, 50, lost her battle to stage four brain cancer in December 2019.
The star expressed her feelings about the television network after they snubbed her from filming the franchise spinoff Family Reunion.

Mackenzie said: "It hurt and broke me how my mom gave them the last breath of her life, yet after I had opened up my life to them, when my voice didn't sound like theirs, there was no more respect for me."
The Teen Mom continued: "I never thought two years after her death I'd be bawling about why MTV is doing this to me."
