I remember reading articles on here in like, 2006-2007, about how to set up some diet or another: 12x BW for calories. 1x BW carbs, or 40% cals from protein…I would figure out my numbers and then log my food on fitday. I would mostly eat healthy (“clean”) but if I wanted some cookies, I’d make them work…WTF has everyone else been doing if its somehow different from that? [/quote]

eating clean!!!

srs

but not. kind of.

I had 2 pork chops, some baked beans, mashed potatoes, and I’m going to have some Trader Joes greek froyo for dinner. To the eat clean crew, this would probably be a horrible dinner. But, looking at fitday, its 180g carbs, 90g protein, and 30g fat. A lot of carbs, yes, but its post workout. And half of my carbs come post workout. So it fits.

Yes. Just eat clean…Seriously though, do people that “just eat clean” not track their cals? Or do they get some magical meal plan from a coach and not realize that the amount of tilapia and asparagus they get at every meal is (hopefully) based off of dietary needs? I just don’t really get it.

Sounds like a reasonable dinner to me.

From my experience, they don’t necessarily track cals and say as long as its “clean” they can eat as much as they want/need to get full. Unlimited chicken, talapia, broccoli, asparagus, etc etc because nobody ever got fat off those foods. Is PB clean? I dunno. If so, I guess you can eat a jar a day and its ok. Are oats clean? Well definitely, unless you are paleo, but how many oats are too many? I guess you’d get too full to over eat them? Confusing to me really…
[/quote]

what do you mean nobody ever got fat eating those foods?

getting fat is simply from a large surplus of calories, the source of those calories is irrelevant. also can someone please explain what a clean food is? do you wash it…
[/quote]

I wash my fruits and veggies in which I eat the skin or when the outside that is in contact with the pesticides is eaten. :slight_smile:

THIS…

…'Cept sub beer for cookies

Cause beer is “manly”, or something? I never understood the whole cheating with booze thing. To me, cookies, pizza, cocopuffs, icecream or pastries beat the shit out of beer or any alcoholic beverage any day of the week.

As for IIFYM, I’d rather designate a cheat meal, macros be damned. Fitting garbage into the plan has a way of turning into a habit real quick for me.

I couldn’t agree more. Alcohol just doesn’t do it for me anymore. Although cookies and brownies are a weakness of mine ha. I’d rather designate one day or meal a week where I can relax and enjoy food and typical social outings with friends/family. The hardest part is explaining all of that to those friends/family when they don’t have the same lifestyle that us T-Men have.

As for the second part, “garbage” can turn into a bad habit for most. Most (myself included, see part about cookies and brownies) have a hard time with portion control. I’d rather indulge in things that nourish the body rather than harm it.

cookies and brownies in moderation do not “harm” your body.

Lifters who focus primarily on strength (PLer/strongman) and use AAS, but cannot squat more than 500lbs raw, bench more than 400lbs raw, and pull more than 620lbs raw fail at life.*

They are the secret to anabolism but the right proportion of ice cream is needed as well
