Could be.
But she also had a stash of tuna, natural peanut butter, wheat crackers, and a ton of other good shit in a drawer of her desk.
Either some of you guys hang around some really shitty people or you are just condescending assholes. I don’t flaunt my lifestyle in the face of everybody I know but I don’t hide it either.
I have hardly met anybody who’s attitude wasn’t something along the line of “good for you”, at least that’s what they say to my face.
If it’s somebody’s birthday party in the office, you can still hang out, just get a cup of water and sip on that while they eat their cake. If somebody asks you if you want cake, just say, “No thanks, I don’t really want any cake.” That’s it. No lecture needed.
If I go out with friends and they are drinking, and they offer me a drink, I just say, “No thanks.” Often they will insist, I just repeat, nicely, “No thanks, I really don’t want to drink.”
Somebody offering you cake is not trying to be a “toxic person” and drag down your physique. They just enjoy cake and think you would enjoy it too. Simple as that.
I would also question the results some of you guys who are constantly complaining (not singling anybody out here, just a general statement) are getting. If you are getting great results, it’s pretty obvious why you don’t want a piece of cake.
On the other hand, if you’re 13% bodyfat and can’t squat 315… then it makes sense to me why people wonder what all of this picky eating is about.
When they offer you “junk,” just say “No thanks, I only eat babies and goat blood.” They will quit offering things to you. Worked for me (now if I could only get out of this fucking straitjacket).

For the most part I agree with this post. However, are you suggesting that 13% bf is overweight? Please say no, because we simply can’t get into this again…
I’m also a bit surprised that peoples co-workers comment about their food. I’m fortunate in that my employer is a competitive body builder. Sometimes our offices smell so highly of tuna I swear every cat in the neighbourhood will come traipsing through the warehouse.
I’ve eaten the same thing for lunch for over 2 years. I get teased for that but not in a snotty way. People generally have their own shit to worry about.

I thought I was the only one. I got teased for it but in a friendly way. Then again, a bigger and badder lifter worked a few desks down and he followed a similar routine. So at least I was not the only one.

I do it because I’m too lazy to try for any variety. I’ve figured out what works for me that is high in nutrition, I like to eat and takes next to no preparation time. I’m the same way with clothes though. I figure it saves entire chunks of my brain to think about other stuff 
Mods, is there a “NEW” reason that my posts arent going thru? and is there a reason I get no reply back from tech support?
DK
Do you guys have any quick recipes, so i can get up in the morning and bring something good to work with me thats tasty as well and cheap as well. wud be good to get a few recipes so i can get a variety and not get bored for a training period.
Starting training again soon. had a motorbike accident and have lost a stone and a half. it sucks. went to the gym about two months ago and i have lost so much strength, it shocked me.
Joined this site to give me the motivation again, talk to ppl who are alike and enjoy getting stronger. in reply to the post, watever makes you feel comfortable in your training eating then do that, if you have tested out loads of different ways just stick to wat you like and wat makes u feel good going into the gym.
Just be natural about it i suppose. this is prob not the right thing to say but if your co workers are getting on like noobs about it then ask them to step outside. im sure they will step right down then. enjoy training.
It takes a lot of strength of character for ppl to get time in their personal lives for training, maybe they have a family, or work alot, stresses of life. food takes a lot of time up as well lol. and you always worry about your next meal, making sure its on time lol.
You need:
Weigh out 5g
Grind the 5g, and then grind the lovely kitchen assistant
Measure out the cooking oil as per brownie mix recipe
Pour oil into saucepan and heat at medium low for about 60 seconds
Add ganga
Stir for about 20-25 minutes. Aim for less than a simmer. Too high a temperature and you will boil and burn the oil, too low and you won’t extract any THC. When you’re done, the oil will turn dark brown. Let it cool.
After cooling, filter the oil through the coffee filter into the measuring cup. Scrape out every last bit of oil with a teaspoon!
Dump the mix into a big bowl, and add the required amount of water (about 3 tablespoons)
Add the oil!
Add two eggs and mix for a few minutes.
Add every last piece of batter to the brownie pan and stick that bad boy in the oven!
If you need instruction as to what to do now, you must be already stoned. If your still clueless, I’ll tell you… you eat the brownies. And then do things to the kitchen assistant. Sexually.
That recipe should make work interesting.
In reply to jtrinsey, ppl havent been sending malicious posts lol, they are just saying that ppl can be funny about it, i know i have had some smart arses who think they are funny, especially when i started out.
These are the very ppl who cant push themselves to 100% and who are all talk. Life is full of them. whats all this bf percentage about. who cares. everyone is different. What would the bf percentage of a professional bodybuilder be?
Tell them your diet consists of Babies Blood and Puppy Dog Eyes, they will leave you alone. It worked for me (now if I can only get out of this straitjacket)

I would think that most people into “physique” goals would desire to, someday, be below that number.
My point is that if you are 13% bodyfat and can’t squat 315, you probably don’t look all that strong. Thus, if you have a preachy attitude, people are going to wonder what exactly all of this “precise” eating is getting you. Obviously if you are pushing 600lb+ you can be a ton higher than that and still look strong. I’m not attempting to make any sort of declaration, I just pulled some numbers out of my ass.
LoL Not_d, witches potion or something.
see when im squatting im reali weak at full squatting which is the proper way to do it. But obviously when u go below the knee you go into a weaker point.
Do you think i should do a certain number of sets on the full squat, then up the weight and do a few sets with my butt going level with the ground. Would this be effective in getting stronger.
Also does anyone ever order of protein.co.uk, i have just got an order off them, un-flavoured impact whey, scottish oats, and ofc a protein bottle ftw! anyone have any feedback on them. Gonna get some cod liver oil as well makes me feel good. Started my first session of today, last time i trained was a year ago o.O, felt ill afterwards -.- .
Looking forward to getting stronger again. Anyone ever done Yoga, i know it sounds a pit pansy but i think it would be good, i want to be able to do handstand pushups without support and all that good stuff. Anyone have any training methods to put on top of weight training to be able to get to that standard.
As said by everyone here, fuck them
considering the health state of the population in north america i think everyone could stand to be a little more selfish when it comes to improving their bodies
and yes i eat lots of eggs and take lots of fish oil, so i guess according to the wisdom of your conventional cardiologist i should be dead by 30 (26 now)
To answer your lunch question.
Jon’s stupidly simple greek grilled chicken salad recipe. Prep time about 2 min
You need.
6oz grilled chicken(I’m just gonna assume you have a forman grill and already have batches of chicken in your fridge)
1 heart of Romaine lettuce
1/4 to 1/3 of a cucumber
1/4 cup feta cheese
1/2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon EVOO

LOL! Preaching to the choir mang.
Actually I’m leaning out really well and actually am looking much better nowadays, but yeah, people used to shit as I wolfed down broccoli and chicken.
Whats sad is that people who ‘don’t get why we do it’ usually know that eating this way makes you look good. The thing that is sad to me is knowing this information, wouldnt you just want to do it so you can feel the best you can about yourself and everything around you?
