    We get it...you go to the gym and put in a good 60 minutes of exercise 5 days a week. Exercise is such a small % of our day...eating is a much larger percentage. This is why I consider NUTRITION more important than exercise for most people.

    Share some of your thoughts on this matter!


    In my opinion you posted a very nice question; but I will tell you why you didn’t get any nice responses or ideas:
    1) No references to boobs, nudity or to any part of a male or female body.
    2) You didn’t clarify or ask if the exercise routine includes or should include squats, dead lifts or LIFT HEAVY.
    3) You didn’t argue or ask about eating back exercise calories, eating more or less than 1200 calories, TDEE, BMI, VO, etc.
    4) Your question about diet didn’t bash any Paleo, vegan, vegetarian, low carb, no sugar, clean eating or junk food.
    5) Above all, your posting didn’t include one of those funny looking cartoons
    6) Bottom line is that unless you start a controversial threat about any of the above subjects, you will not get too many nice responses.
    So, and to answer your question, yes, my nutrition/calories/macros are very important and crucial for my health and to keep my weight under control. I exercise to keep my fitness and because I love to exercise, not because I want to eat more. So let the good times, discussion and controversy roll….

    He didn't ask a question, he made a statement which is so blindingly obvious to most people on a food-logging website, it invites ridicule.

    That and the arrogance that he knows the answers, so come ask him.

    I didn't detect any arrogance or ridicule in the OP, and according to so many threats, questions and statements about nutrition, calories and macros, many poster are "blindingly obvious" about nutrition.

    Hmm. Detector malfunction.

    Original Poster, you could have asked the question in a less snarky way, and Secondary (and Tertiary) Posters could have responded in less snarky ways, as well.

    Healthwise equally important. We need healthy foods to maintain a healthy weight. Exercise is great also without it where would we get muscle gains and helps keep us heart healthy. Sure you will lose weight with just diet but eventually you come to a point where you want a nice fit toned body.

    No, not really, I spend more hours exercising than I do sitting at a table with a fork in my hand.

    I hope you directed them to the main forums so they could get good answers. You have yet to post any answers to any questions in the main forum to give some indication that you have some actual useful, correct information to share.

    I feel very passionate about breakfast. I think it is the most important meal of the day. It can be tough to get a good breakfast in though for most people. It's hard to get up early to fix the foods we need to be healthy. Most active people plan ahead though and will prepare meals in advance. Alot of people don't like this though so they opt for either waking up a little earlier to fix foods, get fast food on the way to work, or just not eat.

    Breakfast food companies?? Such as fast food or frozen store bought or what?

    So you're saying it's bad to skip breakfast? Or that it's bad to eat fast food for breakfast?
