    I dont care what others eat, IM JUST SAYING DONT COMPLAIN WHEN YOU DONT SEE RESULTS IF YOU ARE GONNA EAT CRAP FOOD.

    but you do care or you wouldn't have posted this thread.

    and who on this entire site complained to you about our results and what we eat?

    so just chill... realize you stuck your foot in it. laugh at the responses. don't be so gung-ho on your "clean eating"belief.

    lots of people probably agree with you about clean eating (for the record, i don't), so you'll find them or they'll find you and then you can all pat each other on backs for being more enlightened than the rest of us.

    until then, remember that you can catch more flies with sugar than vinegar.

    So this is where the fatties check in, right? *steps in line*

    There's an exceptionally annoying dude at my gym who brought in a bag from McDonalds TO THE GYM and proceeded to eat it there. The smell of the french fries was making it hard for me to finish my workout!

    Okay now that, that is a deck move.

    All joking and fighting aside, I *think I get the idea of what you are saying. There are definitely people who work out very lightly, feel they "deserve" a huge combo from a fast food place, and they never really lose weight and complain about it. I used to be one of those people.:) I truly didn't understand anything about health/nutrition back then. I do now, and I've adjusted accordingly. It really depends on what people's goals are and what they are willing to cut out and still feel comfortable with, and what they will stick to. I do think I understand the intent of what you were saying, and it wasn't meant to start a fight.

    BOOM! Peer reviewed again!

    Never got into drinking alcohol. I just figured if i were to consume 10 beers = over 1,000 EMPTY calories. Id rather have something nutritional.

    "science is your friend" coming from the person who just said "mmm McRib"????!??! no. sorry. it absolutely does not work that way. Science IS our friend. and 70+ ingredients, plus the stuff they use to make the foamy part of yoga mats, are included in the McRib. and that's okay to put in your body?! please! it's not JUST about calories and fat grams and protein! the ACTUAL food you put in your body absolutely DOES matter. you may be able to get the "same" results in terms of weight loss by merely sticking to a certain amount of calories/fat but that in NO way means that a 700 calorie McDonald's meal is equal to a meal of fresh steamed vegetables, a lean protein such as chicken or fish, and a handful of almonds!

    I honestly never knew how ignorant some people were when it came to nutrition until I came to this site. I am constantly blown away.

    Lean beef has some of the same ingredients as an engine block.

    I was kind of thinking the same thing when I joined. There has been so much information out there thrown into everyone's face time and time again, I am surprised that certain things are really not known by now. Have some people been living under rocks?

    No I don't always make the best choices, but I know the information and I know the right thing to do. I always say I know exactly what I need to do and what is crappy for me and what has crappy ingredients and what doesn't, I just don't always execute :)

    I really liked that "the dirt on eating clean" article. Thanks!!

    You are welcome - I am glad someone read it. Unfortunately it was not the OP.

    Everything in moderation...even the *bad* stuff.

    If you're an ultra-athlete I can see the danger of incorporating fast foods (or comfort food of some type) into your diet

    Michael Phelps: Breakfast: Three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise. Two cups of coffee. One five-egg omelet. One bowl of grits. Three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar. Three chocolate-chip pancakes. Lunch: One pound of enriched pasta. Two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayo on white bread. Energy drinks packing 1,000 calories. Dinner: One pound of pasta. An entire pizza. More energy drinks.

    So, nah, even ultra-athletes just make sure it fits their macros :-D

    Wrong beers. The one in that picture is about 500 calories for the one 12 ouncer. And it's delicious.

    These kinds of sites? :huh:

    Well if people are less sensitive elsewhere, then maybe you should take your campaign to save the masses elsewhere!

    What kind of site do you think this is? It's a FITNESS site, it says it in the name, ya know.
  • LOL! My thoughts too!

    Not sensitive just not into the "holier than thou you must eat xyz because I said so" rants.

    But you don't look like him. Your argument is invalid. :tongue:

    Edited to retract the above argument and state that since you're not the OP, your argument is invalid.



    I might not be "muscle mama" but I'm certainly not over weight! And wouldn't be even if I did decide to eat a big Mac n fries... even after a workout

    I know!

    it's like you lecture people who weren't asking for it and have been doing a fine job losing weight without your input and they get all steamed! GAWD!

    Will Bodybuilding.com take you back? Or did they already make a pretty lady out of you?

    Or look at what some of the ultramarathon runners are eating in the middle of 100 mile races. Pizzas, tacos, Mountain Dew, hamburgers, etc. But they aren't fit or anything.
  • I'm usually the one that says "everything is permissable in moderation", but fast food just makes me feel dirty inside.

    When I was in the Army, I was the guy that would finish off a 5-mile run by lighting up a cigarette immediately.

    I'm sure everyone else in this thread would love to tell you how that's not bad for you, either.
