ETA:5 8"-5 9", I am not tall.
Cheese and rice. You have amazing definition. I'm showing this to my boyfriend (who is a ridiculous fitness nut, but still eats McDonalds and can't understand why he is stronger but not defined).0 -

lol No, I get the point, but I'm gonna be manipulative and use it to show that you can get that definition and still get the calories from veggies too. I know, I'm horrible. I just hate the smell that McDs leaves in the car!! Every. Damn. Day.0 -

umm....I don't understand what you are saying. There are defined guys that eat fast food now and again...Have you met Sidesteel or DavPul? :huh:0 -

Oh.
Maybe just tell him you don't like the smell?0 -
Life is too short to eat small amounts of boiled chicken and broccoli.
By "vegetables and lean proteins" I really meant "cram as much cottage cheese/vegetables/tofu/chicken/beans/whatever as possible into a bowl, and don't forget to hit the dessert bar on your way out. Unless it's pizza day, in which case, pizza." Ah, college cafeterias.0 -

so I don't really know what the **** I am talking about, but I'm fairly certain "definition" shows up at a low enough body fat % and that has more to do with a caloric deficit than what type of food he's eating. although maybe I am missing your point?0 -

Nope, I haven't. But I hear you saying that they eat it every now and again, not every day. And I was being a bit hyperbolic in my statement. I meant it as a compliment and not putting down or diminishing the thought of ever eating fast food (or anything like that for that matter).0 -

No worries, that wasn't about you. More just exposing my views on life in general; really I was agreeing with the manner in which you eat. Lean protein, veggies, and hey maybe I'll have this donut.
Well not a donut. I don't like donuts.0 -

I wish these topics got as many views as the "look how much weight I've lost through borderline anorexia!" ones..
I try to be optimistic about it; If every "I eat a reasonable amount and lost!" thread gets 1 or 2 people who go 'Hey, that seems like a good idea' then all is right in the world.

That's what got me to change my methods when I first started. I started learning stuff, increased calories from 1200, and never looked back.0 -

To be honest, ice cream > doughnuts any day of the week :-)0 -

Yay food! I've been eating somewhere around 1600-1900 every day and I've lost about 50 lbs. Maybe someday I'll figure out how to post some damn pictures. Excellent job OP! :drinker:0
