Can you really eat a burger?

When I started losing weight, I was strict with what I ate. Every session with my trainer, he would look at the last weeks diet. Finally, one night I was out with friends and broke down and had pizza...it had been several months. I was upset with myself. His response to me was "Is it realistic that you will never eat pizza again? This isn't a short term fix, you need to learn how to fit foods you want into your diet now, while you are losing weight. You need to find balance" So, I still eat pizza, burgers, fries, and other foods deemed "bad", but I eat them less often and don't eat the huge portions I used to eat.
Your trainer gets a gold star for giving good advice.0 -
Do it up man. I usually make burgers once a week. I keep it 80/20 and between 6-8 oz. I adjust my day accordingly. I'll either do baked zucchini fries or baked fresh cut fries and a salad with it.
You'll make this whole process a lot easier on yourself, and worth sticking to it if you allow for things that you want if and when they fit.0 -

That may be one of the dumbest things I have read all year, and certainly today. Overeating is what makes people fat, not what they eat, but how much. I eat burgers, pizza, hot fogs, chips, ice cream, drink soda, and consume a host of other "junk" food all the time, it doesn't make me fat. BMR doesn't change that much from sleeping to awake, what about those six to 8 hours? The body is constantly working off of intake as well as fat and muscle stores, it's not like there's some magic switch to go from metabolizing freshly consumed food to stored fat.
Cheese burgers are almost a perfect food, just look at the macro breakdown, you have your carbs, fat, and protein all in a good balance. Eat up.

Bmr has to be less while sleeping, because you are using less energy. How am I wrong in that?0 -

No, when you have too much of something (anything), it gets stored as fat because you're eating more than you burn - so those extra calories don't get burned.
OP, yes, if you'd like you can eat a cheeseburger. I had one on Sunday - my diary is wide open if you'd like to look at it.
I like to pre-log my days, because meeting my nutritional goals is important to me. So I try to eat all the fat and protein I need, and the rest of the leftover calories I use at my discretion (like, ice cream last night).
I've successfully lost 71 pounds so far.
I was giving examples of food with those combinations...not an explicit list. Dont read too much into that. You guys that are saying I am wrong, you are pretty much saying what I just said, but in a different way...read it again, but slower.

Yes
That's not to say eat nothing but Frosted Flakes, pizza, cookies, and cheeseburgers all day every day. A lot of people who tout "clean eating" think those of us who don't only do this. We still focus on nutrients, but a treat in moderation that fits your calories/macros is also good.
Clean eating isn't so much about the nutrients as it is about the lack of chemicals in the food. We know that we are still going to get some chemicals in foods but the less you consume we feel the better your body will feel. I know I've slacked off the clean eating and I'm struggling to control my weight and the cravings. Clean eaters get the same amt. of nutrients that everyone else does we just get less chemicals with them.0 -
of course you can have a burger.
to me, the calories in the fries are scarier than the calories in the burger! LOLOL0 -
OP - Short answer: Yes. You can eat a burger here and there. CICO is important and macronutrient splits are as well. I would suggest you look into Flexible Dieting. It's an excellent tool to really help people sustain weight loss or achieve their dream body composition. There are multiple books on it - Lyle McDonald's "A Guide to Flexible Dieting" is one I would recommend. --> http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Flexible-Dieting-Lyle-McDonald/dp/0967145651/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425397428&sr=8-1&keywords=Flexible+Dieting+-+lyle+mcdonald0

What do you mean by "chemical"? All food is made of chemical substances.

BMR is your basal metabolic rate - it's what you burn just existing (organ function, etc).
you multiply this by an activity factor to account for daily movement, etc.0 -

This made me want a burger so much that I'm making one now....of course I have no ground beef
(when I buy it, I usually eat it all in 1 or 2 days - and still hit my goals lol) so I'm making it with turkey. It will do until I can get a real one in a day or two. I do have yummy cheddar and all the fixings. Yum! 0 -

"clean eating" = lololololol0

My husband bought home Carl's Jr all natural burgers for dinner on Saturday night. He had a coupon for buy one, get one free. I looked up the calories and decided to eat half because the calorie count was 760 calories and I am 5'2" and try to stay on the lower calorie side, especially if I am not going to the gym that day. I had not gone to the gym and had not planned for that many calories! I had the other half for lunch the next day.
To get to the point, I noticed on the bottom of the tracker that I was way, way over on fat. Since it was a burger, I know it was not GOOD fat. Since I have been very careful I will not worry about it, but I will not do that very often, even eating half.
Just as many have said, yes, you can eat hamburgers. Just use wisdom and don't eat them too often. It is not just calories and weight, but your health that matters.0 -
Yeah, you can eat what you want if it fits your calorie goals and still lose weight. You might be eating a smaller portion of higher calorie items than you used to to fit. It in.
I have not changed the food I eat much and still lose weight. Just watch portion sizes and look at your choices in advance.
I might have a smaller burger with a salad and unsweetened tea instead of a double bacon cheeseburger, large fries and pop because really I want to eat real meals the rest of the day too.0 -

jimmer and steven have already started.
You will "metabolize" - your word - the burger or hot dog or whatever over time. It doesn't matter if you haven't fully digested/used/whatever-you-meant-by-metabolize the burger. The same thing applies for any food you still have in your system. As long as you don't overconsume Calories over an extended period of time (not 4 hours), you don't get overweight.0 -
Heck yea you can eat a burger! Well I prefer mine made on the grill at home, I think it tastes way better than any fast food one. I plan on having that quite a bit more often when it starts warming up
If you have it with some veggies then you arent doing bad at all! 0 -

BMR only includes basic bodily functions - heart beating, breathing, other organs working, etc. All of this continues whether you are asleep or awake. It doesn't include things like walking, exercise, sitting, etc.0 -

Yes, true. I was merely pointing to the fact that people who get overweight will eat more than they burn before the next meal, but wont have the control to compensate. You can eat nothing but pizza if you eat at a deficit, and eat 10 meals a day, and you will lose weight. But who eats ice cream in a huge portion and compensates for it? I never said CICO was not true.0 -

Not really. Your premise is that someone eats an 800 calorie burger and if they eat 4 hours later, they'll get fat because the body hasn't had time to metabolize that burger - it's wrong.
You also said:It is why chips, hotdogs, ice cream, and soda make people overweight.
Which is also false. None of these things make you overweight. Consuming too much makes you overweight, period.
So if there's a point in there that I've missed, perhaps you should share it - because every one else seems to have missed it, too.0 -

We eat burgers pretty regularly. But I've figured out which restaurants will make it lettuce wrapped, which cuts down on the calories. I'm lactose intolerant, so I will often skip the cheese, which also helps.
Fatburger is my current favourite, followed by Red Robin. YUM.0 -

sorry it does not work that way. If said person in your quote is in a deficit then they will lose weight regardless of what type, or how fast, they consume calories...0 -
TDEE isn't allocated hourly. It (as the name "total daily energy expenditure" suggests) simply represents how much energy (calories) one person expends in a typical day based upon BMR (which is also not an hourly rate) multiplied by our activity level (which is an average, per day). Why do people always try to argue about meal timing, etc. It's effect on the body is so miniscule that it's immaterial in most cases. Even professional bodybuilders who are extremely lean don't all follow meal timing.0

OP, yes, if you'd like you can eat a cheeseburger. I had one on Sunday - my diary is wide open if you'd like to look at it.
I like to pre-log my days, because meeting my nutritional goals is important to me. So I try to eat all the fat and protein I need, and the rest of the leftover calories I use at my discretion (like, ice cream last night).
I've successfully lost 71 pounds so far.
I was giving examples of food with those combinations...not an explicit list. Dont read too much into that. You guys that are saying I am wrong, you are pretty much saying what I just said, but in a different way...read it again, but slower.
read it again ...
still wrong..

"So, if you are eating again, and the body hasnt fully metabolized that burger, that is where the burger will make you more overweight. It is why chips, hotdogs, ice cream, and soda make people overweight"
sorry it does not work that way. If said person in your quote is in a deficit then they will lose weight regardless of what type, or how fast, they consume calories...
HA, this is becoming comical. He'll never admit his logic is twisted.

If one is eating more than they burn by the next meal, yet still are in calorie deficit, weight loss will still occur. One DOESN'T have to burn off their last meal before eating another to lose weight if CICO is implemented. What is it that you're really trying to convey? Anyone that eats more than they burn will invariably gain weight and vice versa.RockstarWilson wrote: »stevencloser wrote: »RockstarWilson wrote: »RockstarWilson wrote: »TheVirgoddess wrote: »RockstarWilson wrote: »Where people go overboard is taking in too many macros at once. Sure, have that 800 calorie burger, but if you are hungry in 4 hours, and you honor that, then where did that food go? Did it get used, or stored? In 4 hours, you would have to be very busy or vety overweight, bc bmr awake is usually in the 100-150 per hour range for people that are within 100 lbs overweight.

F No. You were completely wrong. You still are. Just STOP.
Ok, point out my flaws. Educate me?
You aren't gonna get fat if you're on a deficit and eat a bunch of calories in one go. You could eat your whole allotment in a single meal and you'd still lose.
Yes, true. I was merely pointing to the fact that people who get overweight will eat more than they burn before the next meal, but wont have the control to compensate. You can eat nothing but pizza if you eat at a deficit, and eat 10 meals a day, and you will lose weight. But who eats ice cream in a huge portion and compensates for it? I never said CICO was not true.
