The only apples that are bad for you are red delicious. What a deceiving name.17

Large slice of Mighty Meaty from Mellow Mushroom, 44% fat, 34% carb, 22% protein. While not the perfect food, it ain't too shabby in terms of macros. That's 547 calories, I'll take two please!0

Hello Holly,
Your friend needs a new doc, and you need to stop listening to silly stuff like this.
The only food that's bad for a person is that which he/she is allergic or intolerant to.3 -

Maybe stop reading or listening to wherever/whomever you got these ideas from. There is nothing wrong with apples, granola bars, donuts or pizza as part of a healthy diet.
Foods that are bad are ones that taste bad, are contaminated, poisonous, spoiled, or that you are allergic to.
For weight loss you just need a calorie deficit not a particular type of food.4 -

Had that experience with Mexican lasagna once. It was very bad for both my mother and me. Sad, too, because otherwise it was delicious.1 -
Oh evil apples. And don't get me started on bananas on a Friday night after several glasses of wine.....made with grapes.2

Good lord. Apples are terrible for you now? How on Earth did the human race get to be the predominant, top-of-the-foodchain entity that it is, when things that grow on trees were killing us all along?
THIS is the trouble with chinese-whisper 'advice'. Either your coworkers doctor is an idiot, or he gave her some specific contextual advice which she has passed on without conveying the nuance and now, only 2 people away, the message has become "apples are terrible". And we wonder why people are so confused and spending more money than ever on bulldust products and ideas.7 -
OP, the only bad foods are:
- burnt food
- Food you don't like
- Food that causes you to overeat your goal constantly while ignoring nutrition
- Rotting/spoilt food
- Food you're intolerant or allergic to
- Freezer burnt food
- Digested food
- Food that has been tampered with by your enemies or friend playing practical jokes
See where I'm going with this?
Drop the whole good foods/ bad foods mantra....this isn't good cop/bad cop, it's weight loss/maintaining/gaining.
Calories are KING, but pay attention to nutrition.Anything processed is bad for you, however delicious... lol If you're trying to go low carb then stay away from most fruit... Stick to berries...
Please stop posting misinformation in almost every post you participate in....7 -
Red delicious haters, maybe you mean Macintosh apples? Macintosh apples are sad.0

Yes! They're my favourite
Apples are bad.... When they're floury. Or bruised. Or when you take a bite and realise you've eaten half a worm.1 -

Well, ya... the whole worm has more protein.4 -

Well, sure, a doctor would say that. Doctors need patients to pay for their offices, malpractice insurance, and student loans.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.0 -

Oh, no. Those are destined for cider, hard cider even.1 -
Give me a good Empire, McIntosh, Jonamac. I like the tart flavor in most of our NY apple breeds. Red delicious tastes so bland to me in comparison to the strong sweet/tart combination in an Empire. (I believe Empire is a cross of red delicious and McIntosh. It is what I usually buy.. Really cheap here).0
