Why would you use cheese for a healthy fat, when olive oil or avocados are a much better choice?
Nothing wrong with fat from cheese. It is by no means "unhealthy".... Why eat it? Because it tastes good.
Are you seriously going to debate me on wether rice a roni is a better choice then brown rice? Get the fuck out of here..
The fat grams in rice a roni is quadrupled, not to mention the 1000mg of sodium.. oh, and the butter you use for it too..
Nothing wrong with sodium at all. (unless you are hypertensive and even then it only affects a small percentage of people with regards to blood pressure.) Sodium can be a benefit. But there are strategies that you can use if you like to keep your sodium high, such as getting extra potassium. I use "no salt" added and only half the flavor packet if I want to eat ramens. (yes I eat ramens when I want a quick 40+g of carb and I am in a pinch).
And your going to debate me on some shit frozen dinner from Michalenas, that costs .99cents? I suppose thats better then 7-8ounces of lean sirloin too, eh?
I dont really eat frozen prepared foods, but every once in a while, if the macros and cals work and you enjoy it....why not?
And yes, egg whites are a much better choice then any whey protein. Prob the best protein ever..
Whole food in general is better choice then any man made protein..
Sorry man, you are off the deep end on this. Cold process, micro filtered (so the nucleopeptides are all still intact) is BY FAR a superior protein source. AND it has many many health benifits on top of just a good supply of nitrogen. In fact, search Pub-med and look at all the studies and health benifits of whey. Whey too many to count (pun intended) . By the way......Whey is a highly processed food, so that kinda shoots down your argument about "processed foods are not as good as whole food" thing.
Why no peas? Do some research.. Studies have shown, they are linked to weightgain..
Take the tinfoil hat off man. People say that in regards to they are higher in carbs than other green veggies. No one is getting fat off eating a few peas.
All meals are important, wether its the first one, or last one.. You need read a little bit on nutrition..
You dont seem to know, but I am no slouch. I have close to 20 years training experience, most of it naturally. For 45 I am decently strong, and no trouble controlling body composition.
Many of my ideas have been debunked? LMAO!! Tell that to the 2 IFBB pros I use for diet help. One ranked in top 10 in the world..LOL
You saved the best for last. Never have I seen worse advice than from Pro bodybuilders. Only advice I would take from a "pro" is how to be a "pro". It is almost laughable the relative intelligence level of some of these guys. I know several, and well.....they probably could not pass a high school nutrition class. Their training advice is overly reliant on anabolics, and just a repetition of some garbage someone once told them what to do.
I will not lump them all in this bucket, but I have never met a pro that even know basics of training. All they know is how to train with the assistance of anabolics....and very high levels of them. Watching the programs they have people doing, it is heavily biased to what they used to grow. Well most people are not running 1+g cycles with multiple compounds. But these guys will be happy to sell guys test for 150/10ml. Srs man......wtf would you take a pro bodybuilders advice for? Unless you have his genes (which are obviously great) AND wish to supplement at his levels.......the advice he gives you is pretty much worthless. Much like the contest prep the ones I know have people follow. "stay away from dairy....it makes you fat" "fruit makes you gain fat". These people are not the smartest guys man.
You obviously have achieved quite a bit....but maybe if you took the time to learn a little as well, you would find that your 'absolutes' are not so absolute. Many of your beliefs are outdated bro-lore.
That is not to take away from whay you have accomplished either, so respect to you there. Just saying.....you dont know me either, but I am no slouch myself. As much as you belive your ideas, they just dont hold much actual truth behind them.....
