    Where'd you get the tat on your right shoulder?

    If you choose wisely what you eat from there I don't see an issue. 6 piece chicken nugget has 420 calories. If you can eat just that then its not that bad

    Ever get the feeling that someone new might have come here after burning bridges with arrogance and asininity at his last hang out?

    I'm sure BB.com had their way with him and sent him away crying a short while ago.

    Just what I was thinking man! He's got that broscience attitude that smacks of BB.com.

    I have a question? Are you still a certified personal trainer if you have 0 clients? Like if people can't stand you and would never pay for your advice, can you still claim the title?

    Just wondering...

    I like beer after a workout. I mean, I REALLY like beer after a workout. I like beer in general. Can I put beer in my bottle cage on the bike? Challenge accepted!

    You can put beer in the bottle cage on a bike.

    And that's a proven FACT.

    Science, yo!

    There's a huge bike race in philadelphia every year, that goes through Manayunk (they call it the Manayunk Wall) and it's a huge party, and the cyclists are able to get a nice refreshing vitamin and electrolyte supplement (read: BEER) to help them out. It's awesome!

    I've heard of this (went to college in Philly) - plus lots of (running) races where I live have free beer afterwards :)

    Oh good. The forums have been really boring the last couple of days. We needed a little more soap box.

    I agree with the thread starter regarding fast foods. Some foods in McDonalds have an okay macro content except for.. Sodium. Yes, I might eat fast food if it fits on my macro for the day but the sodium content will just really make you stay away. Most of those burgers give 1000 mg of sodium per serving or even more. You wouldn't want to finish up your day with 3000 mg+ of sodium whew that will only cause water retention. Even if what you ate had small amount of fat and carbs but their sodium goes past beyond what you need for that meal it will be a factor to losing weight.
    Water is not fat.

    And I eat around 700-1,500 mg of sodium a day on average, so one day of 3,000 is not going to hurt me overall. People who are not hypertensive don't need to worry so much about sodium.

    Its not fat but your body which has a lot of water content will affect your weight. Water weight is usually one of the reasons why our weights usually fluctuates. People don't need to be hypertensive to worry about sodium. In the long run it will lead to problems if you constantly go over the usual. Then again, as you've said one day of 3,000 mg will not hurt you overall but in the long run if you continue it will.

    LMAO, wow people calm down. Just saying that if you are going to the gym trying to achieve a certain goal, nutrition should be the first priority.

    Duhhhhhhhhh

    LOL. Yes. Having abs makes one an expert at all things nutrition and fitness related.

    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...
    Bull.

    I've gone from 60% bodyfat to 21% and I don't know crap.

    Your argument is invalid.

    umm, no

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

    LOL!

    Besides, what's wrong with getting grilled chicken, or a salad from one of those places? I don't really like fast food places, but when I'm in a hurry and hungry sometimes there's not much of a choice.

    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 disagree with this.

    me too. any fast food is pretty much terrible for you over the long run. you can get much better nutrients out of real food that you have prepared yourself.



    What I don't get even more than the fast food thing. People who come into the gym reeking of smoke. People who smoke right outside the gym doors when they leave. Isn't smoking counterproductive? How do you breathe right when you've just sucked down a cigarette right before your work out.

    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.

    People are notoriously bad at estimating portion size and caloric value.

    One user can end up logging too few calories versus the actual intake and be stuck at a plateau because they are not truly in a deficit (they are supposed to be at 1500 calories daily, yet those extra nibbles or miscalculations brings them up to 1900) - while the opposite can also be true - a user can be over-estimating caloric intake and seem to be losing at the lower intake (supposed to be at 1900 a day, but log slightly extra on their meals, just to be sure).

    Accurate logging is such a huge variable that I am hard-pressed to believe the EMTWL advocates or the 1200-calorie devotees. The only thing you can do is educate yourself on the actual science behind the processes, and, of course, experience and take notes with your own diet.

    While there are certain situations where it may not be as linear for everyone, the main premise is: The more active you are and the fewer calories you intake, the less fat you will have because your body will use that fat as fuel. The steepness of your deficit and the quickness of your loss is entirely dependent on your actual intake and activity level, and pushing either to the extreme does not usually pay off as far as long-term health, muscle mass, or sustainability of fat loss goes.
