How many times have you seen people go to the gym and work their *kitten* off... only to stop at Wendy's or Mcdonald's after their workouts. Come on people, your body wants clean food! Or how many times have you heard "I'm not seeing any results" I ask what they had to eat for lunch and they say "I had to run to Arbys because I didn't bring my lunch."

You are what you eat! Sorry just venting a little lol.

    If you can fit it into your calorie/macronutrient goals there is no reason not to have Wendy's or McDonald's. I would think after a hard workout would be the optimal time to grab a McRib.

    Mmmmmm ...... McRib...... mmmmmmm

    I feel like I've sinned or done something horribly wrong if I workout and then go to fast food.

    For me, I have greater success when I work "non-clean" food into my diet.

    I don't see a problem with it assuming it fits their macros and calories and does not mean that the rest of their diet it nutrient deficient as a result. I see people on my FL eating that all the time - they still get results.

    You can disagree all you want. It doesn't change the truth.

    I don't want to sound mean, but I agree, I see these people down the pool doing length after length only to stop at the vending machines and subway (it's next door to the pool) straight after and it's quite...disappointing. People need to realize that after exercise, protein is good, but fat slows digestion down and is quite bad (in terms of weight loss) after exercise

    Science is your friend. This is all very wrong except the protein is good part.

    I don't think it's my business what other people eat. I have a hard enough time keeping up with what I'm eating!

    I don't make a habit of following random people home from the gym, so I have no idea what they eat.

    LOL - I was like that when I was younger! I was pretty muscular, but was flabby with little muscle tone and pretty much looked like crap. If only I knew then what I know now...

    I think my results fully speak for themselves. You mean to tell me its better to replenish with sodium and saturated fats rather than a lean protein and healthy carb source? hmmmmm....

    Depends on what they order. I personally feel gross if I work out and then eat fastfood chicken nuggets (my weakness is spicy chicken nuggets at wendy's) I occasionally do this and every time I regret it. I started to make my lunch more (working at 5am I have all I can do to get out of bed some mornings.) but I don't always follow through. I was always told to eat an apple after a workout, so I keep them close for that reason.
