Well you only mentioned that one quote as if I was lying about the existence of the other ones....

The problem is that MFP only lists some of the nutrients and there are other factors like phytic acid in legumes and stuff that affect absorbed nutrient content. And then there's factors besides that which affect your health, like the effect of soy and dairy on estrogen, stuff like that, which MFP wouldn't tell you about.…

And the other quotes appeared on the other pages.

"Boring" is one thing. "Gross," "disgusting," "extremely unappetizing," and "negative 10 out of 10" are quite another. Those are actual phrases people used to describe my diet...if you look in the previous pages.

Idk, I mean maybe I should add variety but I don't know where to start. There's already a lot of limitations due to my refrigerator situation at work. I feel like if I had to introduce variety I would just get overwhelmed and end up not doing anything. It might be something to think about though. Hard boiled eggs are ok…

Hmmm wish I had known that before I posted...I have never been on a forum before that had this kind of culture. Although looking back on it I have seen a lot of non-constructive criticisms on other peoples' diet plans, so maybe I should have known better. Well I know my diet is on the road to being healthy but I wanted to…

Ok then care to give specifics on why you feel my diet lacks nutritional value that I could use for further planning and optimizing my diet?

As I said, most people can tell the difference between connotation and denotation. Oh ok so it's ok for them to "mess around with me" by calling my diet plan "disgusting" and "negative 10 out of 10" but if I call them out on it I'm a "troll." Flawless logic. I'm not overly literal...if anyone's overly literal it's the…

Is that an actual rating of my diet plan or some kind of play on words?

You keep saying that and yet you also keep posting....

That was only after there were several posts mocking my diet. I figured if people are going to mock me, I might as well mock them back. And of course it's "possible" to follow such a diet plan. There are tons of people who have a way more restrictive diet plan than mine. I'm pretty sure the paleo diet is more restrictive…

Yes but the very title of "Hot or Not" gives you an idea of what type of culture you should expect there. Whereas "MyFitnessPal" kind of implies that people will be supportive. Plus I said "rate my diet plan," not "is my diet plan disgusting or not"?

Not every single post. Just the unhelpful ones. I just don't get what certain people get out of trying to tear someone down and make them feel bad about what they put into their body. I really wasn't expecting to get so many nasty responses (and yes there were some good ones, which I responded to as well). I posted a…

I didn't stop logging b/c of cheat days, I just didn't have time to log and then forgot exactly what I ate. And a couple of weeks ago I was at my future mother-in-law's house for a week and so I have no idea what the nutrition profiles were of the dinners she made for me, so I didn't log that week either (btw what are you…

Ok then you need to go back to middle school and learn the difference between denotation and connotation :)

I did see your post but I didn't have enough time to read and respond to it thoroughly the last time I posted, since I was just on the way to lunch. I do think you gave good suggestions. I really like the breakfast suggestion to make the yogurt into a sauce. It might even work on chicken...have to experiment. And it would…

Luckily I am close to my goal weight, but what if you made comments about someone's diet being "disgusting" when they were just starting out? You could really discourage someone. Food speaks to who we are in many ways. The food you eat indicates your socioeconomic status, overall health levels, weight, and even culture.…

Just one more comment before I get back to work: just think about it for a second. How would you feel if you were a person who was trying to get their diet together and stay healthy, and people made a bunch of nasty and unhelpful comments to you about how your diet is "gross" and "unappetizing" and "random and monotonous"…

Ok well I didn't know that but MFP says to drink 8 cups of water per day (I'm assuming they mean cups as in "1-cup measurements," not as "glasses") so that's what I've been going by. I've never heard that this wasn't backed up by scientific evidence...but in any case it seems to be a good metric for me to go by. Also I…

Well some people brought up the possibility of long-term nutritional deficiencies developing and I was hoping to get comments more along the lines of that. Like what are some nutrient-rich foods I could add to make sure I get all the esoteric micro-nutrients like selenium and stuff that aren't even listed on MFP. Stuff…

Ummm no it's because you're supposed to drink 8 cups of water per day. Since I work in a lab I'm not allowed to eat or drink anything as I work and so I have to remember to actually go get water when I'm taking a break, or else I will get headaches. No because this person seemed soooo shocked that it's possible to eat…

See if I was like everyone else on this forum I would be all like "145g of protein PER DAY?! That's DISGUSTING! How can you POSSIBLY eat that much??" ...but I'm not THAT sanctimonious.

See now this is a good and relevant response!

Yes I don't mind eating dark leafy green vegetables (ie. kale, arugula, spinach) without dressing...I never really have ever used dressing on them. Honestly I find dressing to be a little gross, even the homemade vinegar/olive oil stuff. The only leafy green vegetable that HAS to have dressing on it is lettuce because it…

Wait what are you talking about? Since when do I exercise off 1000 calories? I rarely ever exercise at all and when I do it's never more than 300 cals and I eat it back. I don't know wtf you're reading.

Ok thanks for your entirely irrelevant opinion.

Whose diet plan are you reading...I eat WAY less sugar than the average person. On a typical day usually around 30g per day and that's ALL sugars, natural and added, fructose, lactose, sucrose, everything. The average person eats maybe 60-70g of sugars. What's hilarious is that I had all these people up my a** in another…

Well you only NEED 50g of protein. The rest is all personal preference. Currently I eat more than 50g, between 70-100g usually. Besides my daily protein would still be basically the same, I would just be moving the most protein-rich foods from dinnertime to breakfast time. Because the morning is when I tend to get the most…

However I do think next week I will try replacing the lentils in the morning with boneless skinless chicken breast. So far I haven't been able to eat anything for breakfast that has lasted me more than 3 hours without getting hungry, but since everyone is saying lean protein is the way to go, it's at least worth a try. I…

Do I have to soak and sprout? Or just soak? They will still be good to keep at room temp for several hours after sprouting, whatever that means? Because portability and nonperishability is really the main draw of nuts for me. Also if they do deplete iron levels, then why are legumes listed as being rich in iron? And if all…
