That would be such a negative calorie shake you would probably go catabolic just looking at it.0 -

Well he does want to gain weight. So that explains that. Why he isn't listening to logic is another story. ie.. eat a damn pizza already!

I was helping devilboy1592 understand the general thought process of how things go in here in regards to the way food is viewed.

Why is it crazy? You need to apply context...to your diet as a whole....and dosage.
How does you 'hearing' about something make the rest of us crazy for either not hearing that mis-information or being open and learning that it is mis-information?
But others have told you otherwise but you seem to refuse to accept the information after it was presented to you.0 -

I think that our definitions of crazy may be different.
Also, calling it crazy in the context you did implies that it is wrong - it i not.0 -

When I was young I ate everything, probably consuming 3000 or more calories during with very little exercise, mouth full of cavities and weighing about 145-150lbs, now that I'm eating better more nutritional food I'm getting to where I want to be, and maybe I can help this person out from my experience, maybe they are in the same boat as I'am, but no one is the same, but their might be some tips that work for everyone.
I am even more confused now. Food has no nutritional value?
I realize it was a metaphor - it was just not a good one. A metaphor should be relevant if trying to use it to explain something,0 -

It would be next to impossible to find a food with no nutritional value0

What are these foods that have 0 nutritional value you speak of?

Maybe I should have worded it better. In isolation, the general thought process on here is that unhealthy and healthy food does not exist.ForecasterJason wrote: »

You can't help someone when you don't understand the concepts yourself. That's not hard to understand but with the way the back and forth conversations between you and members here go I'm not surprised you can't understand that.

Isn't that the basic definition of food? Something having nutritional value?0

It's funny to see how people get defensive, I'm just merely saying eat food that's good for you, broccoli is better than a damn brownie, energy vs trams fat, macro, micro who cares, I look at sodium, sugar, gluten and gmos, that's all I ate for 35 years, never seen any gains, so why bother, why eat toxic food just to gain a pound of fat then try to burn it off, it sounds like every diet fad out there.0

OP: Eat more food. It doesn't matter what kind.0
-
Which food is toxic again?
Drinking water can be bad for you if done in excess. does that make water "bad"?0 -
No, broccoli is not always better for a person than a brownie.
And now food is toxic, too. You are the diet and fitness industries marketing dream.0 -
Yes, because of the chemicals in it...JeffseekingV wrote: »Which food is toxic again?

I agree. But check out this thread, you probably won't believe some of the responses made when I said broccoli was healthier than a brownie. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10037714/sweets-when-bulking/p3deviboy1592 wrote: »It's funny to see how people get defensive, I'm just merely saying eat food that's good for you, broccoli is better than a damn brownie, energy vs trams fat, macro, micro who cares, I look at sodium, sugar, gluten and gmos, that's all I ate for 35 years, never seen any gains, so why bother, why eat toxic food just to gain a pound of fat then try to burn it off, it sounds like every diet fad out there.
