in Food and Nutrition
With foods from most/all typical food groups with thought to the overall diet's macro and micro nutrition and one's personal goal for overall health, weight goal, and daily fitness goals?

    Speaking of balanced diets.. I have heard that your biggest meal (calorie and amount of food) should be breakfast and the meals should get smaller from there, is that true? Or does it even matter. I have a hard time eating anything in the mornings even after working out. So, I can't imagine getting up and eating this great big meal.

    It doesn't matter. Eat when your hungry, stay within your calorie allotment.

    The breakfast myth has been debunked time and time again.

    Like that works.

    I eliminate food groups based on whatever diet is popular at the moment.

    Like that caveman one!? That one is dumb, doesn't even make sense!!

    But then what would I have to talk about at the water cooler when the topic of the coolest, newest fad diet comes up? You are trying to make me an outcast!!:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

    YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!

    It's based on science and a long history of dieting that only became popular three years ago. Totally legit!

    Can I eat ice cream!?

    I tried to eat an apple that had a banana sitting on top at the same time but it fell apart. Now I just blend them together....problem solved.

    But my 5 bites included shoving 5 whole chicken tenders into my mouth. I'm guessing that's not how it works....

    What macros would you recommend for fat-loss?

    I guess I don't know what a balanced diet is. :-(

    I exercise 5-6 times a week, take in about 1,700 kcal per day.

    ETA: And what is the reasoning behind your answer, as well. It's OK if it's just how you were taught or standard recommendation across the board, I just want to know where everyone is coming from.

    The best part of this whole thing is that Oz used ol' five bites as an example of a horrible effing idea.




    --the fact that he's bringing it up at all and thus granting it a shade of legitimacy is an entirely different story. See: congressional hearing.

    I have the same amount of food in each hand... does that count?


    If so that may be why I'm still fat....

    Link to 5 bites thread please, need lols bad. TIA

    Edit: Nevermind, found it. So wait a minute, this is a thing? What if I can eat a whole slice of pizza in one bite? Then do I get to say "I've tried everything and NOTHING WORKS" when I fail?
