That was 42 oz of veggies a week, and that's not a lot. You have to have a balance on your food, veggies carry with them some important vitamins and minerals for general wellness. I take it your not much into kinesiology. That is too bad, it could save you for some horrible diseases down the road.

If your getting protein only from steak, eggs, etc, that's a whole lot of food.

You don't like P28, that bread has whey protein in it. It's not health food, it's high protein food. Take the P28 spread, bam, 48-75 grams of protein, one sand which. It's more about getting a high protein diet without shoving tons of shakes or red meat down my throat.

For those who can't eat tons of food, it's much better than mass gainers, which are loaded with empty carbs.

And back to the eggs, not all eggs have those characteristics. Egg beater egg whites have no cholesterol, etc, but try buying 2 gallons of them and see what the cost per protein ratio is. These are sold at bodybuilder.com because bodybuilders have been known to eat quite a few egg whites.

Steak is one of my favorite foods, but eating red meat all the time, too much sat fat. Chicken, or egg whites, they are the mainstay of any good fitness diet. Eggs have some good fats, but they carry some bad ones too. And frabkly, I don't want to eat 12 eggs a day. I'll drink them, and with Egg Whites, I just pump them into anything I'm drinking.

As for grass fed, yea, it can be be a scam, but you'll know when you're eating some grass fed beef, it's delicious.

If living without the many dietary induced diseases for my life means I eat like a women, then so be it. They live longer anyways. The added benefit is some cheap, but impactful protein source. Without having to purchase 12 dozen eggs a week.

Not only movements, it's the whole shebang. Kinesiology is the study of physiological, mechanical, and psychological mechanisms. How the body uses food is a large part of it. It's basically a opening to being in the fitness industry, because that's where the majority of majors end up.

I took a few kinesiology classes in college, although at the time I didn't pay attention that well, it was before I got into lifting. But they taught an entire semester on how diet impacts body functions, including movements, etc. which is what I was getting at, how diet impacts lifting.

Actually, I was reading up on it, you are correct. My college was weird. They taught diet under the Kinesiology, but it's not really part of the science. My bad. It's was a great school, but odd on this. Maybe because it's a Private catholic college. Lol!

Yea, I am rethinking my supp use. Not sure I'll use bcaa anymore.

Oh, and I wish that we had a Costco around here. We really have no place like that, which seems strange to me.

What supps you use?

what is a bad fat ???

Trans fat is the worst, generally horrible all around. A diet loaded in too much sat fat has been said to be bad, but recently that's been disputed. Doctors, nutritionist are debating if Sat Fats are bad as some say. It's said they raise blood cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. For those on cycle, this is something many suggest we think about.

However, recent studies have begun to cast doubt on those claims, contending that a diet high in sat fat doesnt increase the risk of cardiovascular.

It used to be, well at least in the U.S. that nutritionists and doctors encouraged a low-fat diet, especially for losing weight, or managing cholesterol.

Bad fats increase cholesterol and raise the possibility of getting certain diseases.

Good dietary fats support overall health. Although, sat fat is needed to a certain point. I've read conflicting views on what the exact number is.

The general dietitians view is that monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are good. Of course omega-3 fats are essential to overall wellness

And trans fatsand saturated fats are either bad or generally bad.

I've heard many different numbers, but generally, fat intake to 20-35% of calories. Sat fats should make up less than 10% of those. Dr. Jim Stoppani thinks that's too low.

I won't eat anything with Trans Fat in it. And because the debate on Sat Fat is still unsettled, I try to keep it to being around 25% of my dietary fat.

As far as I'm concerned, if you disregard calories, the only bad fats are man made. Trans fats or saturated fat that is mixed in with cakes, biscuits and other man made foods are the enemy. We are designed to eat lamb fat or pork chop fat or beef dripping etc etc. Ug didn't carefully chop off the fat from the mammoth he shot down with his Uzi!
