What is the one thing that people say on MFP that irritates you the most? For me it's when people say Vegans don't get enough protein!

    I've only heard self-proclaimed vegans say that when they are asking for protein ideas.

    I guess all the threads about cutting out food items annoy the crap out of me.

    And bananas/oatmeal has too much sugar and will make you fat. I really doubt anyone got here by eating 3000 calories of oatmeal.

    "If you weigh 75+..."

    "Eat more to lose..."

    "I eat clean, but.."

    People who think lead and hydrogen weigh the same.

    When people ask for "advice" (read:validation) on an unsustainable diet then call everyone mean and haters for giving them sensible advice.

    "I'm giving up XXX food..." Especially bothers me when it's nutritious staples such as potatoes and rice, which have sustained world populations for millennia. FYI--Calorie for calorie, potatoes contain more vitamins and minerals and fiber than a banana?

    First world problems, I guess to have the luxury of turning up a nose at such foods. (DISCLAIMER--Of course, those with insulin resistance or diabetes, of COURSE you've got a legit reason to watch those carb numbers. I'm not talking about you folks. Just general food demonization based on Pinterest and stuff.)

    Sugar is sugar. It doesn't matter if you eat a cupcake or a vegetable.

    When people treat me like I'm too young to use the website.
    I didn't know that being healthy by tracking food and fitness had an age limit.

    I don't care if people give up foods, but the "white foods" thing drives me up the wall.

    MFP says this one if one's caloric intake is too low.
