From what I've read lately the greatest impact on your health is your calorie count. You can be healthy eating junk food as long as you have a low body fat percentage and are on a slight calorie deficit. Macros matter more for athletic performance. As long as you get your micros in check all you really need is 10 percent of your calories from protein, 10 percent from fat, and 10 percent from carbs. How you fill in that remaining 70 percent does not matter much for your health as long as you maintain a slight calorie deficit.

No wonder your progress has been the way it is with you.

It's better for body composition but not necessarily health as long as you get in your minimum requirements of fat, carbs and protein then meet your micros. But it had to be on a deficit. I'm getting the studies collected now.Originally posted by rado View PostStrong man or not, still a healthier way of eating.

i find it really hard to believe that eating Mcdonalds your entire life but just making sure you don't go over in calories is just as healthy in the type of diet of someone that lives in the Mediterranean on seafood, vegggies etc..
i don't think you actually believe what you say either to be honest.

This talks a bit about it. Mike is talking about healthy eating and macro count minimums and ideals. It starts at 7:30.
I'm still gathering research articles on what I was talking about in eating unhealthy on a calorie deficit.

I think it's more of the calorie restriction has a buffering effect on the crap that would wreak your health if you were eating maintenance or at a surplus.Originally posted by Bouncer View Posti find it really hard to believe that eating Mcdonalds your entire life but just making sure you don't go over in calories is just as healthy in the type of diet of someone that lives in the Mediterranean on seafood, vegggies etc..

I'm not advocating anyone should do it, you would just go from being fat to skinny fat to skinny and looking like crap.

In 1964, a group from the Institute for Medical Research in Oakland, California, studied the effect of different macronutrient compositions on weight loss in 8 obese patients. They were fed with a caloric deficit diet and every three or four weeks, the investigators modified the diet to vary its content of protein (from 14 %to 36% of calories), fat (from 12% to 83%of calories), and carbohydrates (3% to 64% of calories). But the calories were always kept below the patient's maintenance levels. All the obese patients lost fat at a constant rate, irrespective of the nutrient composition of the diet; whether fat or carbohydrate intake was high or low – what mattered was the total calorie deficit.

Researchers with the Laboratory of Human Behavior and Metabolism at New York's Rockefeller University conducted a carefully controlled study that kept 16 people on diets with just enough calories to maintain their current weight but that varied the ratios of fat, protein and carbohydrates. After 33 days, those assigned to a no-fat diet were still at their pre-study weight. So were those who got 70% of their calories from fat. Percentages of carbs and protein didn't matter either. The results were published in 1992 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

“I wish I could say the outcomes are unhealthy. I wish I could say it’s healthy. I’m not confident enough in doing that,” says Haub. “That frustrates a lot of people. One side says it’s irresponsible. It is unhealthy, but the data doesn’t say that.”
