    I can't even stand the smell of McDonald's when I walk by. All I can smell is grease! Plus I hate the way that kind of eating make me feel. I don't care if I could eat it and still lose weight- do not want!

    Oh good... another post where a bunch of body builders/ huge men/ women who don't have much to lose try to convince us all that McDonalds/eating poorly is okay and laugh at the attempt to eat healthy/clean.
    Actually, the people commenting that it's OK aren't actually "eating poorly" - they're making very wise choices at the fast-food places.

    Fast food doesn't have to be synonymous with eating poorly. Most people just don't actually make informed decisions when they eat it.

    Do you know what a McDonald's burger and fries look like after 2 months- the exact same. Who would defend putting something like that in their body?

    I think you should do whatever works for you. But I also understand people turning their noses up at that kind of eating. It doesn't even make you feel good.

    I agree that people should do whatever works for them.

    I don't agree with "It doesn't even make you feel good." as that may be the case for you, but not necessarily others.

    I'm surprised I'm defending this here, because I don't really eat fast-food ever, LOL.

    Is it some type of joke?
    Because I don't believe a word of it.

    The PhD in nutrition, as well as massive success on the bodybuilding circuit, has really helped out. Along with the "hype."

    McDonald's ruined my deficit the day before yesterday. Someone there accidentally threw a medium order of fries into the bag with my double cheeseburger. I was only going to have one but by the time I got home they were gone. It's sabotage I tell you.

    J/K.

    I eat fast food about once a week or once every couple/few weeks and it's a toss up between McD's and Sonic but sometimes I hit both. I like the sweet potato tots at Sonic and the burgers at McDonalds.

    I'm having two big macs and fries for lunch today, then for dinner a half pound of grilled chicken with sauteed mushrooms in a bbq sauce and a side of sliced tomatoes drizzled in rasberry vinaigrette.

    Maybe later I'll make a food porn thread.

    Today I eat like a king!

    I had a funny experience there once. I went and ordered a grilled chicken salad with low-calorie dressing and a bottle of water. It took them about 5 minutes to prepare because they didn't have any chicken cooked.

    How did they apologize? By throwing a medium fries on the tray.

    Really guys? You think a guy who just ordered water and a grilled chicken salad wants 400 calories of french fries as an apology?

    BS and you know it. this is coming from someone who thinks macronutrient ratios mean something.

    they don't.

    You are absolutely right. I am going by my own experiences and I know that when I eat bad, I feel horrible and it isn't just the guilt. I feel very sluggish and...fat lol. Before I started eating healthy I would feel gross if I ate more than 2 meals that were fast food.

    But there is a definite correlation between the foods you eat and your mood and energy.

    True. Though I would have to argue that a McDonalds salad/wrap can't hold a candle- nutrition wise or taste wise to the things that I can make at home.
    What annoys me is when commenters "show off" (not sure if thats a good term) at how much/bad they eat like everyone should eat the same. "Pffft.... your eating just a cheeseburger? Well, I eat a triple Whopper with extra cheese supersized!" Really? This is your everyday meal? (no.. obviously not. ) When I ate like this all the time, I gained 70lbs...I understand eating like this on a rare occasion- but for me it wouldn't be realistic.

    I do. If you can find a quote where he recommends doing something other than I'm doing, let me know.
