It might be surge of testosterone or something, but it really pisses me off when I here stupid comments about nutrition…
Eg,…A guy training at my girlfreinds gym tell her that she doesnt need a high amount of protein, especially whilst dieting, because it turns to fat when not used. I have only made her take in 1g/lb which is probably lower than she really needs. So after discussion with this fool, she has decided to drop her mid morning protein shake…I said cool, give it a try.
This guy is 28, been training for a while. He is currently dieting…He takes in 1 cup of black coffee in the morning, 2 small cans of tuna for lunch, 2 small cans of tuna for dinner and he weight trains 6 days a week, followed by 45-1hr cardio after weights, then again after dinner…so thats 2 fucking meals a day, with all that training too!..he does have a cheat meal once a week, but thats it. Now I have not actually seen this guy, but my gf reckon he aint small, but she didnt say he was big(muscular) either…Having said that, no offence to her, but she aint the greatest judge anyway.
Eg2…My girlfreinds freind has studied nutrition and says that me taking in additional protein, other than say whats in lunch and dinner will make no difference and that it is enough. What the hell does she know about athletes requirements for proper nutrition. stupid grad. She worked for one yr with overweight ppl or something…damn, I am getting even more angry as I write this…
Anyway, just a rant about ignorance in and out of the iron game I guess. Thoughts?
