What kind of $90 lunch isn’t making you fat?

[max_boost]

That $90 lunch is probably $120+now

I’m curious what you guys eat on a daily basis that allows you to be over weight.

I’m almost 50, 6’ tall and 195lbs on a full belly.

I usually have 4-5 meals a day.

Eggs and oats in the morning, usually around 8am
Protein shake after workout, around 10:30am
Yogurt, fruit and vegetables for lunch, will include protein and a beer if I’m eating out.
Some sort of meat for dinner, fish,chicken,pork or beef, a starch and a veg.
For late night snacks I will have nuts or popcorn and water.

Weekends I like to drink but always consume diet colas or mixes and hard alcohol.

I don’t drink a lot of beer.

No sugar is so important I feel. Natural sugars in fruits is fine, but refined sugars are pure evil for the body.

That's great, you clearly take good care of your physical appearance. Got any tips for being a better person on the inside?

I'm trying to be less of an insecure douchebag who's constantly seeking validation and approval from strangers online.

I don’t really care what I eat, but also at 6’1” and 190lbs in my mid 30s I do shit like this on the MTB:



And really besides one day on the 21st this was all from the 2nd onwards… because I fell on the 21st.

I still believe most people just over eat and IF curbs that. The sensation of being full is a survival mechanism and unnecessary in the modern world. Hungry pains should be normal for most of the day but doing IF allows your body to feel satisfied for at least a portion of the day as you condense your intake to less meals. This is why I believe most people have success maintaining a reasonable weight with it (most won’t be ripped, but who gives a shit)

Biggest mistake I think the aging demographic makes is when they do something active they believe that gives them an excuse to eat extra, where in reality they probably only burned off enough calories to keep them in a moderate deficit.

Doing an activity that is track-able, and repeatable has given me great insight to my overall strength and cardio health, without anything I would consider a moderate lifestyle restriction drink or food wise, throughout my 30s I have maintained a 5-10lbs window and have increased not only strength but also endurance.

Keeping it simple has been the key. Do something that’s physically stressing, yet engaging… keep a loose IF/circadian rhythm most days. Take rest days and breaks as needed

This thread doesn't interest me, but I'm certainly not starting a new one to talk about alcohol Calories.

There is simply no way that alcohol Calories are processed by the human body the same way as those from food and that should be tipping the whole CaLoriES iN & CaLOriEs oUt argument on its head, shouldn't it?

Are bottle-a-day alcoholics usually obese? No, I think they're usually pretty close to skinny. So how does someone consume over 1,700 Calories in liquor a day without turning into a walrus?! Even if they barely eat, they're still going to be at 2,700 Calories per day.

I think I drank an average of 8 beers per day, every day for the month I was on vacation and I certainly wasn't dieting. That's a metric shit pile of extra Calories. Didn't gain an ounce. Came home and didn't drink anything for a few weeks, didn't lose an ounce.
It's weird as Hell and I don't know why but those Calories from booze don't seem to follow the same rules.

That’s what I’m getting at obviously, what are you guys consuming on a daily basis?

Be honest

McDonald’s
Pizza
3-4 beers a day?
Donuts
Chips

Do tell

Big Mac + Fries + Coke = 1110 calories
Two slices of pizza = 700 calories
1 can beer = 150 cals X 4 = 600 calories
1 donut = 250 cals
1 bag chips = 250 cals

That's a lot of food.

[killramos]

For a little girl maybe

[ercchry]

350cal/slice pizza sounds unappetizing… what is that? Vern’s T-Rex?

[suntan]

That's the thing that'll make him thinner.

Post meal vomitting?

89Coupe is making a ton more sense.

Or maybe he just can’t hold his 3-4 beers and that fixes everything?

The body is bad at turning alcohol into storable forms. Thats why full blown alcoholics are typically skinny.

For the average joe, when you drink, you body now focuses on clearing that booze out of the system and all the shitty food you eat following drinking isn't being used for energy anymore but is usually stored as fat. Booze = slower metabolism, also Booze usually = shitter food choices
