Protein is converted to fat just like anything else when consumed in excess; just something to think about. More is not always better. 40C/30F/30P may be healthier.

Clearly I understand no one has an obligation to be positive, and yes everyone will disagree with everyone. I was referring to "chivalryder" who said I was mad at positive and informative posters. I reported one person earlier in the post that was being ridiculous.

Lol, you're the only one yelling. According to Carol Byrd-Bredbenner, Gaile Moe, and others that write college textbooks teach that high sat fat consumption can lead to cholesterol build up in your arteries. A shocker to most of you, I believe those that have degrees in and knowledge of nutrition. I don't have…

1) they're haven't been any positive and informative members on the post 2) I already defended my viewpoint by stating my education points toward sat fats raising LDL cholesterol levels 3) at this point everyone who joins the convo just to pour insults onto me will receive insults back 4) he wasn't the one that was…

Just fyi, this app is terrible about responding to abuse reports (I've tried before), so good luck

Then wth are you trying to say?

I don't think you know what epidemiology means lmao

"Yes, it could be some vast worldwide conspiracy by the evil olive oil and almond producers against the oppressed beef and dairy industry - or maybe the experts everywhere were just unconvinced by the new data in light of the criticism and when looking at the results of previous studies." Try reading it again until you can…

Look at carbs this way: complex carbs (whole grains, etc. = slowly raising blood sugar) vs. refined carbs (straight sugar = spiked blood sugar). If you eat whole grain foods with fiber and protein, your body will break down the carbs slowly giving you sustained energy and blood sugar. If you eat a donut and a dr. pepper,…

I like it! Good stuff.

Black beans, navy beans, and quinoa are good sources of protein without too much fat. If you are eating healthy foods and going over your fat goals, I might reconsider my goals. Most professionals believe that fat can take up 30% of a healthy diet as long as it is mostly comprised of unsaturated fats :-)

1) No; profs never emphasize limiting dietary cholesterol. 2) Saturated fats increase LDL; this is common knowledge (if you want a specific study why didn't you give me a study for the BS that you are talking about?). You should get 10% or less of your calories from sat fats and about 20% of your calories from unsaturated…

You'd fail intro to Nutrition with that kind of answer.

And saturated fat, obviously. High sat fat intake leads to plaque build up in arteries raising the risk of heart attack.

Skim milk is a good source of protein with no saturated fat. Same with 100 calorie yoplait Greek yogurt. Nuts have some sat fat, but they have good fats and lots of protein. Go Lean Krunch rocks as well and has lots of fiber and protein.

^^ Spot on. Also, exercising raises HDL (good cholesterol).

I'm not an expert, but I am interested in nutrition (I'm a sophomore majoring in nutrition). From what I've been taught, you'd have to eat an enormous amount of fruit for it to be unhealthy. As far as AMDR's go, a 60/20/20 is well within healthy limits. A 70/10/20 may be too far because 20% of your calories should come…
