My Diet (feel free to critique)

[stud_wit_style]

Also...forgot to mention.

I usually get to work anywhere from 600am to 630am and i get off around 400pm. So all of the food during that time is consumed at work. My point is that...i need foods that dont need a lot of prep. I guess i can always make stuff the night before...i'd perfer not though...lol.

Does anyone have any good ideas on simple/convenient foods i could take to work?

FYI - i work in an office setting and there is a fridge we can use.

is there a reason why no one has critiqued my workout? Did i forget to add something? it's in the "training" section.

I just did--just some quick comments to get it started. I would start with redoing your split to a 4 or 5 day split.

If you have a point to make, make it. I'm not going to make it for you. Here's my point:

If I'm mentality one I'm going to eat a diet high in protein with moderate amounts of low glycemic index carbs and plenty of healthy fats. I'm going to avoid trans fats, high G.I. carbs (except PWO), excess sodium etc. Basically I'm going to eat right. This is a diet you can stay on for life and there's no reason you can't eat an apple at breakfast. In fact, given the numerous health benefits of apples, it's a pretty good idea.

Now, if I'm mentality two it's different. I may be going up to 4 days with no carbs (except PWO on days I lift). Or, I may be on very low carbs in which case I have to choose the carbs I eat very carefully. Maybe it's pre-contest, maybe I'm just trying to get really cut, whatever. This is when I might have to think about whether or not I can eat an apple. This is not a long-term diet.

Great point, but I missed the area where you explained how an apple with be of any benefit to a cutting diet? Apples are great for vitmains and anti-oxidants, etc. that I agree with, but one apple is useless, only supplying meaningless carbs.

Im in a pissing match over an apple, thats what things here have come to.... ah, the days of intelligent conversation are long gone I suppose.

YJ, it sounds like Control is saying this is the diet Stud is most likely following, in which case, he argues apples should be fine for him

Thats fine, but Im not sure what relevance that serves? If youre an average Joe, weekend warrior, then sure, apples are fine, but if youre REALLY wanting to lose that 13% bodyfat, you may want to skip the apples.

I like yall's discussions - they are quite infomative - I just wish that you would go into more detail with some of the things instead of just saying - hey, prove it etc and then never actually discussing the thing I would like to see proved etc...

I hope that made sense....

Oh I agree.... my argument is simple...


Apples primarily contain fructose, which we all know is designated for filling liver glycogen, NOT muscle glycogen. Basically, theyre useless, carbohydrate, calories, which when youre trying to lose 13% bodyfat, isnt ideal.
