    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).

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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:
