    You just need a really good girlfriend or wife to cook you up some good food! Healthy food DOES NOT have to be boring! :)

    no, it's not a woman's job to do this. The guy needs to learn to cook for himself. I can't believe a woman said this.

    hugh? woman are supposed to cook, clean, do laundry, and anything else they are allowed to do ...what do you think this is 2100?

    "I don't think anyone really pays attention to ONLY calories. That's certainly not doing it right."

    There are people who only pay attention to calories...


    ....whoops...kinda screwed up that quote thing :tongue:

    what exactly happens if you only watch calories?

    how far out do your macros have to be for there to be a problem?

    isn't is a whole *kitten* load more about what you are eating, rather than the category it fits in.

    seems like your making a big deal out of something that only a very small group of people would have a problem with, aka their diet is totally devoid of nutrients.

    so why does it matter that much?

    First of all, I have not made a big deal about anything....
    Secondly, having a surplus of certain categories can cause health issues. High blood pressure, clogged arteries, blood sugar level issues (diabetes), cholesterol issues..
    And yes, it is about what you're eating. That's the point I'm trying to make..

    so how much would your macros have to be out to have such issues?

    and yah... you kinda did make a big deal out of it. lol.

    um, no, I didn't. I only stated that it can cause issues. That was that. I agreed with the fact that you can have what you like as long as it fits into your macros/cals. I also said portion size is the key.

    As to your question about how out of whack would the macros have to be... well I can't answer that question. I am by no means a doctor or nutritionist. All I said, (and you can read above to get the whole story in case you missed it..) was a person who eats nothing but fast food all day to meet their calorie goal is most likely an unhealthy person..

    I don't eat plain anything most spices aren't that high in calories...especially fresh. Since I've changed my eating habits my diet is much more varied and I've found creative variations to things such as tuna salad several new marinades and so on.

    I still allow myself to eat unhealthy now and then but I make room for the calories by cutting back on other things.

    it's being motivated by RESULTS and mixing it up.

    i.e. I always try and eat the items that contain most of the calories earlier in the day, e.g. lunch time.

    Not sure why you'd think it wouldn't be possible. There are plenty of easy ways to hit your nutrient targets eating nothing but fast food. Double meat subs loaded with veggies at Subway, grilled chicken sandwiches and salads at the burger joints, tacos and bean dishes at Taco Bell, etc. Veggies, protein, fats, carbs.. everything you need.

    breakfast
    Egg McMuffin or Hot Cakes

    lunch
    big mac, 2 bags apple slices and an orange juice for lunch.

    dinner
    subway footlong vege delite with vege patty and side salad w carrot, tomato onion, peppers and sweet onion dressing.

    desert: mc donalds apple pie

    thats under my maintenance calories, and has 5 serves of fruit/vege a day.

    that was pretty easy. I'm sure there are healthier options than that too.

    There's a difference between losing weight and being healthy. Counting calories may result in weight loss, but if all or most of those calories are made up of "junk", then your body will most likely not be very healthy..

    I'm glad you put "junk" in quotes, because it's sort of a meaningless term.

    Isolated, individual foods are not "healthy" or "junky" or whatever. It's an overall diet, in its entirety, that is healthy or unhealthy. If you are feeding your body the nutrients it needs to thrive, in the proper amounts and with an appropriate caloric content, you are eating healthy. If you are either depriving your body of the nutrients it needs, or you are feeding it excessive calories, you are not eating healthy.

    good luck with the aortic stenosis in a few years if you are eating like that every night. Who said healthy has to be plain, maybe because you cannot cook or have no imagination? I had orange roughy sauteed in some organic butter, sun dried tomato sauce and fresh zuchinni slices sauteed with vidalia onion and parmesan and a baked sweet potato. Then I had fresh bleberries over angel food cake with some cream. And you had what? KFC?
