maybe if you're 16 years old, or have a raging metabolism (which will slow down eventually)
maybe it works for you
for the rest of us, that should sound insane. if victor conte told nonito donaire that he could eat macdonalds every day would that sound right to you? nobody here is nonito donaire, but the principals apply. macdonalds is the "anti ripped" there is horrible stuff in there.
it worked for me when i was younger. i used to eat some of the junk food.
still do, once in a while. i have a horrible habit of hitting up dunkin donuts for long drives. i used to eat their egg sandwiches on long drives which are a routine in my line of work
i cut them out and noticed a huge difference. 3-400 calories (probably more, i really do not care about calories. once you know what's healthy they really dont mean much as long as you arent gorging and stop eating when you stop feeling hungry)
i also had a boatload more energy and felt a boatload better physically eating the healthy stuff
lets assume you eat three times a day (this fits most adult schedules best.)
subsitute one meal for a madconalds with big gulp soda or whatever the hell they call those 42 oz monstosities:
and you are 1/3 macdonalds
something to think about. probably more. it's not difficult to consume 1000+ calories at macdonalds quickly (or well over what you'd probbly want to eat in one meal if you are losing weight and you arent a huge guy)
there's a huge difference between macdonalds and healthy food
if you really require it, and arent simply being annoying//a child, i'll elaborate on what foods are healthy
in my opinion the best foods you can eat are fresh (as possible) fruits and veggies and lean meats in reasonable quan******.
again, if eating good stuff is poor advice (for somebody trying to lose weight)
and eating macdonalds once a day is good advice
i'm on the wrong planet
you wont find anybody who desires peak performance at macdonalds
i do not care about counting numbers
they mean nothign with food of that quality. sure, you might lose some weight for a period of time but it will eventually catch up with you.
it will make you sick and make you soft
not ripped. not healthy.
fat is not all the same
carbs are not all the same
in a limited diet you dont want to be wasting the calories you can be eating each day that are good ones by subsituting calorie heavy food that is essentially junk.
done posting in this particular thread
some people are beyond help. hoepfully the OP goes through the thread and figures out what works for him (for now and for down the road)
when you are 40 and can no longer eat macdonalds once a day without negative effects (please dont eat macdonalds once a day... i dont wish health problems on anybody) perhaps you'll get it
