PeterF Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Calling a bigmac meal regular food is a long shot. Put that crap in your body at your own risk.
Long Wheel Base Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Come on, 20km??? You don't need any nutrition for 20 km. Try that on a stage racer or someone doing a full season of "fun racing". Every village has an idiot and that guy is the king. He did that test over a short period, not long term. You can eat what you want between xmas and new year(and maybe easter weekend?) but between new year an xmas you must eat properly!!! I'm sorry but I will stick to a healthy balanced diet that doesn't include junk food.
NicoBoshoff Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Calling a bigmac meal regular food is a long shot. Put that crap in your body at your own risk. What about it is crap? Seriously, please provide me with a rational explanation of what ingredients in their food is per se unhealthy (consumed in normal healthy quantities) orless nutritional than other forms of the same food types?
DJR Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 ".........she says. Additives and preservatives in fast food could cause problems in ways that don’t show up in the study." I'll just selectively quote this from the article!

I'm sorry but I will stick to a healthy balanced diet that doesn't include junk food. Not just 20km. Fist 90 min at max capacity, then eat, then a 20km time trial.

I'll just selectively quote this from the article!I like the word "could". It's ancient latin for "We don't really know but it substantiates our view so YOLO"

Ever seen what the "patty" looks like in raw, as in liquid, form? Millions of obese people all over the world are loving it, so yeah what do I know!

Millions of obese people all over the world are loving it, so yeah what do I know!People get obese because their calorie intake is less than they burn. Nothing to do with the food. You can get plenty fat off nice organic snob food.

Millions of obese people all over the world are loving it, so yeah what do I know! Yes, I have, actually. One of my clients was a marketing manager - you're probably refering to the "pink slime" myth which was debunked several years ago, and yet still persists thanks to Facebook share fests...

Millions of obese people all over the world are loving it, so yeah what do I know!I eat McD's at least twice a week. I'm in the shape of my life. Because I exercise and don't eat the entire menu everytime I go there.
davem Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 "Osmo, says she’s a big proponent of real food versus “engineered” sports food. " A Big Mac is no less an "engineered" recreational food than any sports food is. Real food is generally purchased is the form it naturally occurs. Like potatoes, brocolli, steak, chicken breasts. Edit: grammar

Not that I don't occasionally indulge in junk food but you have to draw the line somewhere.
