    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!

    This was my "post workout recovery drink" after my first half marathon. I also had a couple slices of pizza, a bunch of cheese and crackers and a whole lot more beer. I got up at 7:00 the next morning and ran a couple miles. Maybe because this worked for me I should proselytize on the benefits of high ABV beer and pizza and cheese after a workout.

    Yes. When I was looking for a gym to join, I purposefully ruled out the one near the Dairy Queen because I knew I wouldn't be able to resist.

    Try this one: someone once was grousing that they needed to lose 50 pounds, and was hungry, but was drinking a beer. She'd rather drink her calories than have something substantial. UGH.

    I, too, would rather drink my calories than eat food... Im not much of a "chewer".... so I drink a lot of protein drinks & "juices"...

    Beer bleh.... cant stand the smell much less the taste

    maybe they went to Carl's Jr and got a grilled chicken sandwich, no sauce on wheat or a turkey burger w/ extra veggies.
    At least that's what I do and I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm not eating fries and a double double. The Carl's is in the same parking lot and sometimes I need something 'right then'.

    I was OK with this post until someone mentioned McRib. And then I got a little throwup in the back of my throat. :sick:

    You know what I don't get...the amount of threads lately of people criticizing what other people do or eat. Because they know it all.

    Unless they are your clients who cares, worry about yourselves.

    its the same EVERY January... threads about the newbies at the gym, threads about scam diets, scam eating plans and influx of Internet scholars who are experts in heath, weight lifting and all things exercise......

    no worries, in March, like those who fall off the wagon or those who are here to sell snake oil ( usually their Personal training expertise or beachbody products) the board will ease back to normal....

    I've never been a huge fan of fast food, so I don't get it, either. After hot yoga the other night, the woman I was with suggested we stop and get a Big Mac "because we earned it", and there's just no way. If I get a reward, it's going to be something much better than a Big Mac.

    Im not saying im an expert. BUT, when you go from 16% bodyfat to a lean 6.5% i think its safe to say i know a thing or two about it...

    I lost 25 lbs (basically all I had to lose) in under a year eating chicken tenders and/or falafel about twice a week. Also, my LDL levels are on the low side of normal and my HDL levels are high. Clearly, deep-frying is good for you. :bigsmile:

    Some of us work out so that we can have the occasional portion of total junk. :flowerforyou:

    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.

    Never because I don't follow people home.

    How many times have I heard people say "omg how can you eat that?!" "eat clean!" "you can't dothis or that and still lose weight" NEWSFLASH I eat what I damn well please (as long as it fits macros etc) so if want that cake I'll bloody well eat it.....with cream on. There is no one way to lose weight, not everybody wants to be ripped not everybody wants to live on organic food that come from farms that give there chickens god damn thrones to lay eggs on.

    Stop preaching and judging.
    It's arrogant.

    Or....go have a big mac.

    I'm not big on fast food either. I like Subway sometimes, but that's about as fast as I get, other than occasional Pizza Hut.

    At my gym the cardio machines face the road...I can literally be on the treadmill, watch people leave the gym and drive straight to Chipotle. It amazes me everytime. But then again maybe this is their one cheat for the week...maybe

    As long as you don't get a soda you can have a perfectly healthy and well balanced meal at Chipotle. If I ever eat out it is the most likely place i will go. I get a burrito bowl with brown rice, pento beans, steak, diced tomatoes, corn, cheese and sour cream. Its pretty darn good and it fits in to my diet just fine.

    Not everyone's goals are the same as yours. To each their own. I don't intend to ever have a body fat percentage that low. I can still get/be in great shape without cutting out the things I love.

    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.
    Isn't the reason protein and fiber keep you full longer because they digest more slowly than carbs and fat?

    A thing or two. But not enough to talk about nutrition. A burger every once in a while will not somehow make you blow back up to gazillions in bf%. You denied yourself a lot of yummy food to get where you wanted to get to - ok, that was your method. But most people do not need to put glass in their shoes to learn to run.
