Eating Pop Tarts and ice cream daily.

Back on track

Holy cr@p - what is in that? Marshmallows and fudge?

That is what I am seeing!!! and it has me in a trance!!!

Yeah - posting that pic forced me to order the s'mores pop tarts from ebay :laugh:

Off to lift heavy stuff (for me) :drinker:

That looks good, but I think I'd have to update it by adding a fudgy dark chocolate melted brownie and salted caramel.

I love you all. :tear:

CoachReddy can totally bulk up with whole foods and working out. Doesn't need to eat junk food in order to get mass calories. At all.

I'm not sure which is dirtier, the picture or the sentence.

The point wasn't that he can't build up with whole foods, but that it's easier to achieve a caloric surplus without feeling overstuffed when you add high calorie foods like poptart sandwiches. If your goal is to add weight it's not harmful, and can actually be helpful, to achieve this goal with high calorie filler foods. Therefore, it may be eaiser to achieve his goal of adding weight if he expanded his idea of moderation.

i dont' give a rats *kitten* about easy. :glasses:

Cheers to that.

:drinker:

It's absolutely doable.

You're 5'7 and 132lbs :huh:

i'm... small? what's your point?

You should be bulking harder than you are. In a scenario like that, junk processed calories can actually be quite useful, as you don't hit some of the satiety issues you would with whole foods. As long as you're getting your necessary daily nutrition in, you're fine (which is the argument many on here have been making). That has nothing to do with percentages. Taking myself, I maintain on roughly 4k calories a day. I can meet my nutritional needs on under 2k (I usually spend about 1200+ getting in a baseline of protein that I want, then the rest for veggies and other such 'good for me' stuff). Once you've hit that...you're good, the rest can be whatever. Some days I only eat that, and I'll have 1600 to 2k on the day. Other days, I want that junk food, and I'll have 3k calories worth of ice cream sundaes. You can do that, be healthy, and still lose weight.

The point people are arguing about with you is that your idea of moderation is far stricter than it probably needs to be. You have a half a chicken and waffles dinner after weeks of eating only organic stuff (I didn't go that far back in your diary since I'm lazy but I'm taking your word for it)? That's pretty extreme when you could be bulking at a very slow rate eating a moderate amount of junk food on a daily basis if you wanted.

i have a high metabolism. been skinny my whole life, not easy for me to put on weight. I know, you guys are gonna hate me more than you already did!

Your views frustrate me often, but I don't hate you because you're skinny. Your metabolism isn't high, and you would have less issues putting on weight if you didn't have such stringent views about food intake.

nah dude, I was skinny before I started eating well. back when I ate nothing but take out, pizza, etc, etc

and yeah I know eating junk on top of all this good stuff would probably help me gain weight, but I'm not really in it for the glamor as much as the health aspect. I want to be a can-do as opposed to a look-like

I think you missed the point there "Tom".

So do I....are you going to encourage me to keep it up?

"magerum", what's the inside joke, c'mon now, don't be shy.
