    I think the wisest post in here regarding nutrition is that it is all about "context and dosage".

    All that said, my point originally was that you can't talk about what works for athletes and suggest this works for average Joe on MFP. Not only is what athletes do to stay competitive not necessarily in their own best interests in terms of health, but average Joe isn't active enough for the analogy to a professional athlete to even be relevant.
    The average Joe justs wants to lose some weight, look pretty good, have good health, and still be able to enjoy eating foods they enjoy without getting overweight again. That's about 90% of all people who go on a weight loss plan usually look to achieve. I doubt that one could just eat junk only and achieve obtaining the nutrients they need on a daily basis. But I don't believe (as the article states) that there is such a thing as "bad" or "unhealthy" food. Nutrient deficient? Yep. High calorie? Yep. Can one achieve good health while engaging in eating foods deemed as "unhealthy" or "bad"? Yep. But of course this takes eating strategy, probably some extra physical activity if one wants to eat more than usual (like pizza), and understanding that it probably can't be a day to day endeavor.

    The checks from McDonald's have temporarily gotten larger than my real paycheck.

    Nah it's happened before. We used to even be MFP friends for a while. Though we did finally realize we had irreconcilable differences, sadly.

    lol It just got too annoying to, once a day, see that you had each completed your food and exercise log and came in under your calorie goal? "I refuse to like that!"

    you just totally shat on rule #1 of returning from a ragequit. You're supposed to refriend about 50% of your former list so the other 50% can bicker about it. It makes for good internetting.
