I love people always say “wait X more years…” when I tell them how I eat and how I maintain my weight. What am I waiting for? Cuz I’ve been “weighting” for a while now and have yet to notice anything… _sarcasm_ My family all have a fast metabolism, and I grew up being active. So I’ll wait for as long as people would like but it’s just not gonna happen. Btw: 5-11 / 180lbs all throughout college. As for eating healthy: Spinach, lots of fucking spinach. And nuts too. And I only treat myself to fast food once a week at most, if that. ---

> [@Carnut](#): > > I personally never believed in any of these fad diets. I know there is research behind them but you have to ask yourself why someone would research something like this. The only answer is because there is money to be made from it. I’m in a cutting cycle, trying to lose BF, while maintaining muscle mass. Reduced calorie count and starving myself isnt going to get me there. by doing keto, i switch my metabolism to run on fat, vs glycogen. So i wouldnt really say im doing a fad diet. there is a set start date and end date, and once im off this im switching to marathon training… hellllllo complex carbs… ---

> [@Carnut](#): > > You must eat to keep your metabolism moving. Try many small meals (snacks) over the course of the day. I have heard that eating breakfast is good because your body “shuts down” if it thinks it will not be getting nutrients. I have also heard heavier people typically skip breakfast. I am not a morning person so I really don’t take the time to get a good breakfast. This needs to change I guess. ---

I can’t skip breakfast, I love making a huge breakfast and feeling energetic all day. I usually have a salad for lunch and a small portion of whatever for dinner ---

in simple terms, if you are hungry your metabolism slows down because your body doesnt know when the next time it will be getting food is. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > Of course you’re hungry. You didn’t eat much. I assume this is breakfast, so for one stop buying into stupid fads and eat the yokes too. That’s where all the protein and nutrients are, studies have shown that even eating 3 whole eggs a day doesn’t touch your blood cholesterol numbers, blah blah blah. That granola bar might as well have been a snickers bar. Nothing but sugar. Ditch it. Replace it with a whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter. And what’s breakfast without a meat? Add in a slice of canadian bacon. thank god. i am sick of taking the yolks out(yokes are for bison). The banana and granola bar are something simple I can eat on the way to the gym without any preparation. going on an empty stomach does not work. I am really into cereal, so Im going to do 3 eggs and a bowl of raisin bran crunch or frosted mini wheats. and ps: eggs are meat. ---

People who do the many small meals a day thing…how do you manage to not spend your whole life fucking starving? If I try that I’m hungrier half an hour after one than if I hadn’t ate at all. I actually am hungrier at dinner time if I eat lunch than if I skip it. People bitch about “starve and stuff” eating but 1200 calories of good food at one time and a satisfied feeling after for the rest of the night \> 3000 calories of filler all day that leave you constantly hungry. ---

well the point is to get the nutrients you need while allowing your body to grow i wouldnt be eatting filler foods if i wasnt working out, you’ll lose weight by just sticking to low calories it took me almost a week of eating not enough to “fill” me at breakfast for my body to get used to it. At that point you can eat as much as you want of the same shit like on my diet, you can eat as many low carb meals as you want until you’re full. Your stomach is “full” but you’re not getting 800billion carbs that you now have to use as energy, which then turn to fat/waste. If you cannot burn the 3000 calories, don’t take them in ---

eh fuck it, I have a condition that makes insurance cover it, when I can’t take eating 1200cal a day any more i’ll get gastric bypass. I’ll be the typical american for a change. ---

OH YYAAAA!!! Went to Taco Bell on my lunch break, ordered a #6… YUUUMM Chalupa touched by god. 1,000 calories just made it easier for me to hit 3,000+ calories today. My shitty diet today started with protein shake + Timmy Hoe’s Sausage/EGG/Cheese Sandwhich. 10:00am - Scoops of peanut butter 12:20ish Taco Bell. ---

Every breakfast I have a protein shake and take a gnc mega mens vitamin. Lunch is usually pizza or a sub or some fast food. Dinner is something half way decent like pasta or chicken. Been leaning out lately but I’m sure that’s due mostly to walking about 6 hours a day ---
